 Works like a charm, after setup January 21, 2010
Joshua Knarr (Media, PA)
I bought this for an XBOX 360 to get the cables off my floor. The product I got from Amazon is REV B of the hardware and sports firmware 2. This is the latest and greatest. It fixes the reboot problem.
The good: Totally works as advertised. You set it up, you flip the switch on the bottom, you plug in devices.
The bad: The manual is crap. It basically says "use the wizard". Which is OK, the wizard will do what you want and comes with a setup CD, but it's not obvious how some things work.
The ugly: Get too far outside the box and you're going to fight with it.
That being said - once you have it working, you set it and forget it. The trick is knowing your settings before you start. My network is an XBOX 360, a laptop (wifi) and a Netgear router. The netgear router has a Wii as a client and my laptop, it supports WPA and WPA2. WPA2 was a complete wash, the router would throw out the keys. Fortunately the other crap client I have - the Wii - is setup for WPA. I switched it to WPA and the keys worked.
The other problem is that the UI is braindead and doesn't protect you from making stupid choices. Before I figured out the key problems, I tried everything else. You can absolutely set the LAN side to DHCP. Which doesn't make much sense as a wireless bridge. You can also set the gateway on the LAN port. Again, why you can this when the device is a gateway is beyond me. Finally there's nothing to indicate a key failure, or that the device is online. The lights don't even light up consistently. DHCP is also a wash - the device would not act as a DHCP server to my laptop. The XBOX 360 had no problems getting an IP and being a client. I never did understand what the magic was there but I'm happy it working.
Before you start - know your settings. It will make configuration much easier. In terms of bandwidth, it's great. I haven't experienced the disconnects and netflix on the 360 works great. Considering it's about equal to the XBOX 360 wifi setup and certainly easier than the wii setup, I would still say it's a good buy minus the configuration headache.
A real gem in a very small package! -- OOPS! Limited range January 19, 2010

D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router/AP w/ Client Mode, 802.11g, 54Mbps
Fantastic product! A real winner. Just received and have already set it up and successfully tested as Access Point (using this mode right now) and Client. Amazing that so much capability is packed into such a small package. Suggest you show this along with Blu-ray Disc (BD) players that have only Ethernet connections (no wireless). Though I will use it to connect a BD player at home, I am a road warrior, and this product is a must have for my trips.
BUY WITHOUT HESITATION! (but only for use over short distances--see update below)
UPDATE: I am using this in Client mode with my new Samsung BD-1590 Blu-ray player for a wireless hookup. My Netgear Wireless-N router is in my home office on the second floor, and the Blu-ray Disc player is in the first-floor family room (I estimate that the separation between them is about 30 feet through wooden construction). I have draped the wireless pocket router over the front of the TV for maximum signal capture, with the player in a cabinet below the TV. I find reception to be disappointingly erratic. Sometimes, I get perfect reception. At other times, I cannot get the player to connect to the network. I have tested several hypotheses to fix this. I get very good wireless signal on my iPhone when I am in the same room as the pocket router and player, so I do not think that the fault lies with the Netgear Wireless Router. Also, I have tried several different broadcast channels, and that does not seem to make any difference. I also tried powering down the pocket router, thinking that perhaps it had overheated, but that did not work consistently. Finally, I decided to leave both the BD player and the pocket router (wireless client) powered on, and that seems to work to maintain the connection, at least for the last 24 hours. My working hypothesis is that the reception range of the pocket router is not all that great, and if something else diminishes the signal strength or available wireless bandwidth, the pocket router just gives up. So, I have ordered a Samsung WIS09ABGN LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter (USB stick, proprietary to Samsung; other, much cheaper, USB wireless adapter sticks will not work--ARGHHH!) from Amazon in hopes that it will do a better job. Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock and back-ordered. So, I will just leave the player and the pocket router powered on until I receive the Samsung USB stick.
D-link did it right January 8, 2010

The D-link travel worked perfectly. Set up was easy and straightforward and it has worked in different hotels in four countries. Using the internet is definitely easier and more confortable while on the road.
