1 Steady Connection
I use this AP as a second broadcast point at the other side of the house because me router can't reach that far. The connection strength, even when going upa floor and over about 50 feet is "Very Good". The configuration, if you even want to do any, is very simple to acomplish. The speed is fine throughout the house.
2 Didn't work with dlink di-524
Did a little bit of research before I bought this product, but obviously should have done more. After trying to learn how to set this up in repeater mode with the documentation supplied I went to the web. Surprise, surprise, dlink's site had different documentation. Bottom line is that the dwl-g700ap does not work in repeater mode with di-524 despite being advertised as working with the di-524 on dlink's website. This info is only available from tech support and even then it's like pulling teeth. Since they could tell me which wap's would work with the di-524, but not which routers would work with the dwl-g700ap, I'm guessing that this product may not work as a repeater at all.
