4 Star ReviewI'm very pleased with this product. As someone wh ...

Strengths:

Small size, Configurable by a switch as either an Access point, Router or client mode. Reset button resets only the active mode and other modes. Will run off of USB power source.

Weaknesses:

Configuration requires user to manually set a static IP address on PC. Only 1 ethernet port that switches to either lan or wan functions based on mode. Cables are a little bulky and not retractable.

Posted Apr 19, 2005 - I'm very pleased with this product. As someone who travels it is very versatile. I can use it as an access point at hotels that don't have wireless in the room, thus freeing me from the desk. I've used the Client Access mode to attach to wireless networks, then plug my Vonage voip phone device into. Then I've got my voip phone even at wireless hotels. The option to power from a USB plug is great especially when hotel room outlets are scarce. The reset button only resets the active device mode. This is nice so that you don't have to reset all 3 modes if a problem arises. I wish it had 2 ethernet ports for both a WAN and and a separate LAN port. The one ethernet port changes to either a LAN or WAN port depending on what mode it is in (WAN in Router mode and LAN in Access Point and Client modes). If it had 2 ports you could have a wired connection simultaneously when switched to the Access point and Router modes. For this to be the perfect device it would need the following: Retractable cables and a smaller power transformer or even an integrated one would be nice. Both WAN and LAN ethernet ports. A stereo out port would be nice (like the Apple travel router). Easier first time configuration software that could configure the device via something other than a static TCP/IP address (which requires a user to setup manually Not every enduser will be comfortable doing this task. All in all a very powerfull little package, albeit not the simplest. I still recommend it.

4 Star Review D-Link Wireless-g Pocket Router Review

Strengths:

Compact design, easy to set up and strong signal.

Weaknesses:

none so far

Posted Jan 9, 2006 - D-Link wireless-g pocket router is a much better choice compares to the similar one provided by Netgear. It's easy to set up and the signal is strong with little interference. I think this is really a good buy with proper price.

5 Star Review D-Link Pocket Router

Strengths:

Small size; could be used as either a router, an access point or a bridge; up to 54g; backward compatible with 802.11b

Weaknesses:

not 108 or 125 mbps; coverage not large enough if too far from source

Posted Feb 17, 2006 - It is the best small size pocket router/access point/bridge on the market. You could connect any device with ethernet port wirelessly usind this D-Link pocket router set as a bridge. It could be powered from either a usb port or an AC outlet. I used it to turn a printer server,a web server camera and a Linksys PAP2 VOIP phone adapter into wireless devices. Highly recommended!

4 Star Review D-Link Wireless Pocket Router

Strengths:

small size. easy setup. can run off a usb port only, so you don't always need the ac adapter.

Weaknesses:

cables would be better if they were retractable, so you wouldn't have so much clutter.

Posted Oct 24, 2005 - I found this product very easy to install and use. It is small and easy to carry around. Plus it can function as a router, or as a client to connect to existing network. This comes in handy. It comes in a nice carrying zippered case. The only thing i would change, would be to make the cables retractable to reduce clutter.

Strengths:

Good design and thought just can't configure

Weaknesses:

Poor support

Posted Jul 29, 2005 - Purchased 2 for use in my hotel. Couldn't get either to configure. My SMC adapters set up in 2 minutes. I tried 3 different computers and 2 different adapters. Then I let a guest from GE who sets up net works try to configure. He couldn't get it to work either. I'm taking them back tomorrow. Tried calling support. Got cut off after holding for 40 minutes.

5 Star Review Compact, full-of features, and works great!!

Strengths:

Most compact travel router, can be powered via USB, easy setup

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Feb 1, 2006 - This product is the top of its class for a reason. The accesories (USB power cable, flat ethernet cable) are well thought-out, not just generic stuff thrown in. Everything is included in a nice case so this product looks professional when you pull it out to use. The "getting started" guide is easy to understand, and the CD with software and setup information is also simple, for those that aren't computer techs by occupation, but still want something that has lots of features.

4 Star Review Pocket Router!

Strengths:

Small footprint. Can be used as a router or access point or client mode

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Nov 11, 2005 - I purchased this product for me to use while I stay in hotels. Overall it is a great travel router. It can also be used as a wireless access point or in client mode. The option to power the router from a USB port is great and saves time looking for a wll socket. Overall great router for the price I paid of $20.00

4 Star Review Nice and compact and does the job.

Strengths:

Extremely smal, good speed. Nice travel case.

Weaknesses:

None so far

Posted Oct 31, 2005 - This is a great little travel access point. I used it with my laptop no problems. Set up was relatively easy and pain free. I like the fact that you can switch the mode from AP to Router to Client. The travel case makes it a little larger for travel than it really is, but it keeps all the pieces together and handy. Overall it is a good product for the price.

5 Star Review Portable, versatile, and powerful

Strengths:

Works as an Access Point, WiFi Rtr (NAT), or as a WiFi client. Mode selectable using physical switch. Compact and durable. Includes AC and USB power cords. Carrying case for device and all cables.

Weaknesses:

Seems like it might have slightly less range than a router with an external antenna, but it's never been an issue.

Posted 2 months ago - I bought on of these for business use years ago and I'm going to buy one for home, now. I've found the Access Point useful on many occasions when I need to share a single wired connection with one or more WiFi clients (or don't want to have to sit near the wired connection at the hotel room desk with my laptop). On other occasions, I've used the WiFi router when I wanted multiple addresses (for phone and laptop) when the wired connection only allowed one. I've used the client mode for VoIP phones (crummy network, but it worked) and other devices that were happier with a wired connection. It locked up on my once in client mode, when I had it buried under some other papers and stuff on my desk. It seems like it got hot after several days of constant use. But, that was only once and it hasn't given me any other issues. Seems like the best price point for a WiFi to Wired client functionality, as well.

1 Star Review DOA

Strengths:

None

Weaknesses:

DOA - Dead on Arrival

Posted Mar 16, 2007 - Well, I've read the reviews on the DWL-G730AP, and really liked it's features, but the apparent QC problems seem endemic with this D-Link product. But, I took a chance because its design and features were exactly what I needed. It's really a very well conceived product, but evidently its manufacturing and QC checks fall short of the mark. Mine's DOA, and now I have to first contact D-Link regarding the warranty, before Provantage will exchange this DOA unit for another hopefully good one. Perhaps I should have listened to what others said, and bought another brand, regardless of the superior features of this item.

5 Star Review D-Link Wireless Pocket Router

Strengths:

54G; Could be set to either a router, access point or bridge; small size; usb powering option; simple set up; comes with nice zipper case

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Jan 31, 2006 - Get this D-Link wireless pocket router instead of a standard wireless usb card since this unit offers more features with three different use modes, as a router, an access point or a bridge. In bridge mode, you can add wireless connection to a web server camera (D-link DCS-900), a VOIP module (Linksys PAP2), a printer server, a network A/V receiver/player (Kenwood VRS-N8100) and any device with an ethernet port incuding a PC. Yes, you could do all of these wonders with the pocket size D-Link wireless pocket router with the additional option to power it through a usb port instead of the AC/DC adapter.

5 Star Review Small and delivers!

Strengths:

Very portable, ideal for travel, works with 110/220V, supports WPA

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Jan 28, 2006 - OK, I took this little router with me for a few weeks-long trip abroad. It served me better than I expected. I have only used it in the router mode, but you can also use it as an access point or client modes. The wired ADSL connection was on the 2nd floor and the WiFi coverage on that floor was excellent to very good. Quite frankly, I didn't expect to get any signal in the 1st floor, but, alas, there was signal there (ranging from poor to very good!) I like the fact that the small AC adapter it comes with is universal (110/220 volts), which is excellent for international travelers. Also, it can be powered off a USB port (comes with the USB power cable.) And to top it all, it comes with a good looking travel case (6 x 4.5 x 2 inches approx.) where you can carry the router itself (which is VERY small, you'll be surprised!), the AC adapter and the USB and ethernet cables. Keep in mind that you have to first establish a wireless connection from your PC to the router in order to configure it while working in, you guessed it, router mode. All in all, I am very happy with this product.
