but dlink has let me down big time. i dont down products without giving them a fair chance. but for me this was enough to run me off from dlink FOREVER. amazon is a great company, but this particular product is terrible, if at all cost go with another brand. set up is not simple, and tech support is horrible. for those of u who have had success with this thing, im glad u did.
This is a nice feature to have when in a hotel with just a LAN or with more web surfers in the room and only 1 LAN.It works great but don't try leaving the room. The range seems to be a bit short.
Enter your security password.9 You should now be able to securely get to the internet. Run the setup wizard and follow the prompts and then have the router save and restart.7. Click on properties and change from "Obtain an IP address automatically" to "Use the following IP address - type in 192.168.0.99 and Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0then click OK-OK.5. 8. Set the dlink to AP mode on the bottom of the unit.2.
On your laptop "view your wireless connections" and choose the one you just setup withe the dlink. Open up your browser and type in 192.168.0.30type in "admin" for the name and since it doesn't have a defualt password, just click ok.6. Connect the dlink to your laptop via ethernet cable.3. I played around with this device for 4 hours, called tech support - waited 30 minutes, was then put on hold for another 10 minutes before I gave up.I've finally figured out how to get it to work in AP mode - Win XP.One of the things I figured out was that every time you moved the switch on the bottom of the dlink, you lose all your settings.1. On your laptop - Ctrl Panel - Double click Local connections.Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)4.
Disconnect the ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to your regular router.
Works like a charm. The router is even smaller than I imagined and comes in a great little travel pack. I would definitely recommend this router if you do a lot of traveling or need something very small for use at home.
I have returned the unit to D-Link and nearly a month has passed with no new router and no word from them. The D-Link DWL-G730AP router was dead on receipt. Definitely recommend against buying this item
