 "Rock Solid 300 mbps N Adapter" 2009-11-09
By Toolman
Not sure why some reviewers had problems with this device, but for me, setup was a breeze and I'm seeing consistent 300 mbps speeds. The lowest speed I've seen is 270 mbps. One suggestion...make sure you use the included USB cable and stand to extend the device so it is on top of or beside your computer, instead of pluging it directly into the USB port. This should provide greater signal strength. Also, in terms of range, I have it a floor below the router, so it definitely is able to handle some distance with objects in between, and I'm still getting 5 full bars of signal strength. There is a big difference between wireless G and N; N is blazingly fast and makes browsing and other internet activities much more fun.



I highly recommend this product.

 "signal LESS strong than built in wireless" 2009-10-17
By Thomas Pope
Can't believe it to be possible, but this unit works less well than the wireless connection built into a 3 year old Acer laptop. Signal strength with the built-in is "fair" most of the time, occasionally "good". I was trying to improve on that and never got beyond "poor" with this so called range booster.

 "My first USB wireless device" 2009-10-12
By Noah
I just got a new desktop computer with Windows 7 Ultimate installed, and I was having a terrible time getting my old wg311v3 PCI wireless card to work (prompting this purchase). Windows 7 did not support the drivers for a few of my other devices, but I was able to just plug this USB adapter in, and 10 seconds later the device had self-installed and was working perfectly. I am using this on my older G series router, but plan on upgrading to an N network at some point in the future, so I appreciate the future compatibility that this product offers in terms of the network and the ability to run on Windows 7. Using the included cradle I can put the receiver up on my desk and get a signal strength and transfer speeds that are pretty much identical to my previous computer's wireless PCI card with a large external antenna.

 "Decent range for USB and Wireless N, sturdy construction, works with Windows 7 64 bit" 2009-09-27
By Make IT happen
I like USB portability and compatibility, but as far as wireless goes, I have seen some issues with many products in the past. I wasn't sure what to expect from this but needed a portable N card for my network and am pleasantly surprised, but was still hoping that USB/N wireless technology had come a little further.



SPEED: Good. Delivers consistent 216-270Mbps even at the furthest point from the router I can find in my house.(using Dlink DIR 655 router in N only mode).



RELIABILITY/RANGE: Good, but had hoped for better. No drops so far, but the range is less than my other wireless cards, and most notably, my cheap Belkin USB adapter. This is to be expected from any wireless N product though, and given the consistently awesome speed and absence of dropped signalls, I wouldn't even notice if I wasn't monitoring the range counters during testing and comparisons to my other devices.



DURABILITY: Constructed well. Made of plastics like most of the new products, but very solid construction. Really impressive is the extension cradle which has about a 4' extension cable and could literally be used as a paper weight in a hurricane. My Belkin by comparison seems like it would blow across the room with a sneeze. Heat is always a concern with many new products, but not with this. It maintains a steady operating temperature and has small vents to release internal heat.



COMPATIBILITY: Of note, I have read many reviews of products causing blue screens and crashes, especially for VISTA 64 bit computers. I am using this on Windows 7 64 bit and have no issues except that the Wireless Connection Manager software doesn't run, which is probably a blessing as most 3rd party wireless managment software causes more issues than good and I always revert back to the Windows wireless management anyway. I am not a MAC user, but it came with MAC utilities for what that is worth and I don't believe I came across any bad reviews from MAC users prior to buying, but I wan't paying attention for that either.



Overall a very good product. As with any wireless N product, it carried a higher price tag than the Wireless G products and the range/signal does not live up to all the N hype, but it delivers the N speed I wanted with no issues. This is the mid-level Dlink USB wireless N card at the time of this writing, and maybe the high level offers more range at a higher price tag, but I don't need it. There are some less expensive N cards out there, but read the reviews before you buy, especially if you run MAC, 64 bit, Vista, or plan to use Windows 7 when it comes out as some of the "off brand" and even some familiar branded products are causing some crashes and other issues. For me, this one did not.

 "Don't be fooled by the "N" in this "RangeBooster"!!!" 2009-09-05
By Alan (Los Angeles, CA)
This product is advertised as an "N" Adapter which provides "superb wireless performance." The fact is that this "N" Adapter, as I discovered upon receiving it and reading the back of the box, falls in between a G adapter and a 'true' N adapter (D-Link's 'true' "N" Adapter is shown to be the "Xtreme N"), and states that the RangeBooster is not capable of providing a sustained wireless connection. If D-Link had listed that important detail in their Amazon.com description I never would have purchased it! I have a D-Link Router, so I bought this D-Link (supposed) "N" Adapter for my roommates' computer (located in her bedroom not more than 30 feet from my D-Link Router). She installed it, and the highest connection she was able to receive was just under 2 out of 4 bars at 43% connectivity!!! I'm returning this for a full refund. How this adapter got high ratings from anyone is a mystery to me.

 "D-LINK Sucks !" 2009-01-20
By Brazuca
I bought this router to use with a 3G modem. I did a firmware upgrade and it worked for 15 minutes and after that it keeps rebooting after each 30 seconds !!! No way to buy D-Link again !

 "Check you Service provider" 2008-06-16
By TechsysT
The router worked as promoted, but I purchased it to host a internet camera at a remote site. At&t does not allow hosting on their broadband cards, so the service provider was the problem. Its in their contract. Check your service provider details for their cards before purchasing. Amazon was GREAT, they allowed me to return the product. I will use Amazon for all my purchased for now on.

 "Makes your wireless card a full modem" 2007-10-28
By T. Ceglarek
I use this router with a pcmciaa Sierra aircard on the Cingular/ATT network. I'm very pleased it extended the capabilities of the card from simply allowing access from my lap top to using it as my overall internet connection at home. Speed is sufficient to play Final Fantasy on the Xbox and even hook up the Vonage router to make phone calls. It's certainly not as fast as my old wired dsl connection but that is not the router's fault just the fact of the cingular/att wireless network. For me this router saves me 50 bucks a month by allowing me to drop my wired connection. I grab my aircard when I leave for work in the morning and then after work and weekends just leave it in the DLink router for around the house always on internet connection. Great router I bet it would be a big seller if more people knew about it.

 "Works as advertised " 2007-12-20
By J. Wu (San Jose, CA)
ALthough I normally tend to stay with the Linksys/Cisco brand when it comes to networking devices, I have to say that I am somewhat surprised and pleased to find that D-Link seems to be improving and in some cases, outperforming Linksys. I needed a fast and easy way to extend my wireless internet to approx. 1000 ft and decided to try a variety of solutions to see what worked best. I initially tried using some Linksys range extenders (WRE54G) which soon proved to be a networking nightmare. The units did work although I had to reset them at least once every other day. Next, I tried using some Hawking range extenders such as the 15db corner antenna and the omni-directional antenna. Both seem to work fine however the range was still insufficient and placing multiple pole antennas would detract from the outside appearance of the building.



Finally, I tried this D-link antenna and while this unit is expensive, it is well-made and appears to be very durable. With the built-in heater system, and weather-resistant casing, I'm also able to mount the antenna outside and not worry about the internal components being damaged from the cold temperatures. I will see after a couple of weeks whether it can withstand some light snowfall.



Setting up this antenna/access point is relatively easy if you know networking basics. For users who are not too familiar with setting up static IP addresses, there may be an initial learning curve involved with this device. If you know what you're doing, you should be able to get this unit up and running in about 10-15 minutes. Unlike Netgear and some of the new cheaply made Linksys/D-Link routers and range extenders, this unit hasn't needed a reset and hasn't crashed or locked up on us in the two weeks it has been running.



Pros: Well-constructed weather-resistant metallic casing, strong signals, STABLE, comes with all the mounting equipment you need including a 50 meter heavy-duty ethernet cable, looks a lot more professional and inobtrusive than the Hawking-brand range extenders



Cons: Pricey (though you do get what you pay for), setup may be somewhat difficult for those who don't have much networking experience (there is no automatic install CD like the ones included with routers). I would have liked to have the ethernet port perhaps on the back or side of the unit rather than on the bottom because it's difficult to prop this thing up on a table with the ethernet cable in the way - in the event you decide not to mount it on a wall or ledge.



Contrary to what D-link may tell you, you do not need to have a D-link router in order for this to work. This antenna connects to almost any router (I'm currently using a Linksys WRT54G). There is an extra step of configuration if you choose not to use D-link but if you know how to setup static IP addresses, you'll be up and running in no time.

 "Zyxel router not up to the job" 2009-02-05
By Fabrizio Della Corte (Lugano, Switzerland)
I recently purchased the X550NH router from Amazon because of the following additional features that my current Draft N Zyxel router did not have:

-802.11 n (v2.0)

-GLAN ports (4 LAN + 1 WAN)

-External high gain designer antenna

-Scheduled WLAN on/off

-VPN tunneling



I have other ZyXEL devices including an NBG-415N router that I was planning to replace with this X550NH. I also own a DSL_ modem and a VOIP box from ZyXEL. I am giving it only two stars because the router is not functioning as it should.



Benefits:

-The design & size (looks good and does not take much space)

-Nice the external high gain antenna



Shortcomings:

-The admin GUI is much better with the older device (NBG-415N). The X550NH does not offer a help screen and has fewer options.

-It appears to be VERY slow (slow response time for the management web interface as well as the navigating the Web)

-PC disconnects frequently from router, even though signal strength seems at max (i.e. I need to refresh web pages often).

-No updated firmware available

 "Tried everything to like this product.. it never happened" 2009-07-27
By E. Cruz (NJ USA)
Most people looking at this router is probably looking for a router with VPN capabilities. IT JUST NEVER WORKED FOR ME.



I bought this a year ago, and tried all I could to configure VPN. It never worked. I emailed them, and they would usually reply back to me after 2 or 3 days. And their answer is not even relevant to my problems, or I have already done what they wanted me to do. Or would ask questions, that the answers could be found in my email. I wouldnt mind waiting for 2,3 days for a reply, but I was hoping they would at least give me some clue as to what my problem was.



I also called their customer support, I talked to them for about 40 minutes or so. (I dont think she did understand what VPN is) Then she finally gave up, and gave me another number to call. I havent called the other number yet, but I might give it a try. After all at this point there is really nothing to lose now.

 "Only cheap choice for WinXP VPN client - 4 months later - DON'T GET IT" 2008-12-18
By E. Richards (San Jose CA)
April 2009:

I'm updating my review because this simply doesn't work.



The VPN from Windows to it ONLY works if you're not behind a NAT. With the NAT-Traversal turned on it get's to the second phase of authentication but never gets all the way. ie The encrypted packets start but it doesn't authenticate after that. I have many Wireshark pcap packet files showing the problem from multiple NAT locations. The only thing that works is my WWAN 3G PCcard directly hooked into Verizon - and that's because it's not NAT'ed.



Interop VPN Certified - yeah right. NOT.





There is also another problem. Dlink is using Dynamic DNS.org's service for it's dlink-ddns.com BUT DDNS's policy is to only allow same IP address update at minimum every 2 weeks. BUT the router's max is 100hours. After a few "violations" of their policy they disable the account. SO... DDNS tracking doesn't work either.



------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dec 2008

Despite all the negative talk on the web about this router I took a chance - primarily for one reason - It seems to be the ONLY router out there that supports Windows XP VPN client. (I had to return the Netgear vpn prosafe router because of this). - I already have a D-link router and it has been solid for years.



DIR-330:

The web interface seems solid to me.

Here are the features/info I'm using.



Firmware 1.12 (came on the router in the box)



LAN 172.17.x.x with DHCP from 172.17.0.100..200



WiFi: WPA2-PSK/AES



WAN fully automatic DHCP connection to AT&T DSL modem.



Note:- I have had other D-link routers crash after a day until I found this out.... The AT&T DSL Modem hijacks 192.168.0.1 and screws up the routing tables if you have 192.168.0.x on the LAN side. SO - Don't use 192.168.0.x on the LAN side! (I was using 10.x.x.x until I installed this new router. The reason I changed from 10.x.x.x to 172.17.x.x was that when I VPN in there is a good chance that it'll be on a 192.168.0.x or 10.x.x.x network since these are so common. To make it so that I don't have the potential for any IP conflicts I chose a lesser used private network mask (from the 172.16.x.x...172.31.255.255 range). This allows me to keep static ip assignments in my \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file without worrying about DNS working etc.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network



The VPN was configured so that the VPN server is 172.18.0.1 and the VPN DHCP range 172.18.0.100..200



The VPN is set up as L2TP/IPsec for the most security.



I'm using the free Dynamic DNS from dlinkddns.com (built into the router) to track my DSL's real IP address and so far it's FANTASTIC!. I have a CNAME alias to it from my domain name serving at the (also free) everyDNS.net so that I can have "vpn.mydomain.com" instead of "blahblah.dlinkddns.com"



I have not noticed any bandwidth drop from the older D-link router to this one. I can still watch streaming HD from Netflix on my TiVo-HD connected via WiFi.



I'd give it 5 out of 5 but it's lacking a VPN wizard and it took me a little while to work out how to configure it. The docs on the right column of the web interface could be more featured too (in particular the ddns page).



So.. I'd say give it a go.

 "Worst router with lot of features missing ... ...." 2008-09-19
By Selvamohan Neethiraj (Sterling, VA, USA)
This router would disconnect all connections when you SAVE the changes to the router. Usually, that happens on router only when you reboot the router.



'NAT Loopback' feature is missing. If you are a small business firm, please stay away from this router. You can not access 'Port forwarding feature on port 80' from LAN.... You can use it only from WAN.





Support from DLINK is so poor. You ask some questions, they come back with answers for totally different questions. For example, I asked questions regarding why connections get disconnected when the router changes are saved. Dlink support comes back with a follow-up question as how do I reconnect the connection ? So support from dlink gets ZERO mark....



I do have other DLINK routers (dir-625,...) that works much better. But, this one is meant to spoil their brand ....

 "Stay away" 2008-06-18
By Nathan Boyd
This is the absolute worst product I ever bought. I bought it explicitly for the VPN accessibility. I never got that to work. If you have to forward a port..make sure you know what you're doing cause once you choose the port, you can't go back and change it.



Also, which was rather nice (sarcastic)....the people in support were able to establish a vpn connection to my router but I couldn't. I used 3 different machines with the trial software they recommend. Their solution was that instead of using the trial software..BUY their product and then try it.



I never write reviews but I don't want anyone getting screwed with this thing.

 "Does not work as advertised" 2009-01-17
By Mike Speed (New York)
The DWL2100AP worked OK as an access point, but does not work as a repeater. Other reviewers suggest that it works only with other D-Link products, because of proprietary protocols. All I know is I wasted a lot of time trying to get it to work as a repeater, and was unsuccessful. I bought a Hawkings repeater, and had it working in 15 minutes. If you need an access point, you can find a cheaper one. If you need a repeater, buy something else.

 "Very Effective Bridge" 2008-11-17
By Ann Engh
Purchased 2 DWL-2100AP's to use as a bridge between 2 buildings with an unobstructed distance of about 750ft. I was expecting the usual 2-day setup headache to integrate these into the network, but to my surprise the 2100AP worked perfectly once the initial configuration was completed. Plugged in an old Linksys WAP54g to the far end of the bridge and created a greatly expanded network. Total setup time took less than 1 hour. I have not measured data transfer, but it seems very good. No problems with streaming video, etc.



The instructions for the 2100AP are a little sketchy, and D-link seems to interchange some technical terms that mean the same thing (adds color and confusion to their writing!). However, I did not find the instructions any worse than the several Linksys or Netgear Wireless Routers that I have installed over the past couple of years.



If we get a couple of years out of these, for the price, I'll be happy. It seems like there is no middle of the road wireless equipment. Either it is really cheap of dubious quality or really expensive. Someone needs to come out with some equipment that is of better quality at a reasonable price.

I have a d-link router (DI-624) that I use for my wireless network. I wanted to install this access point on the network, attach a switch, and provide network access for a home-theater pc and an Xbox 360.



modem <-> router ... accesspoint <-> switch <-> pc & xbox



The access point can operate in five different modes. After some trial and error, I finally figured out that it was the "AP Client" mode that I needed from the wireless setup options to gain access to my existing wireless network.



After plugging in the switch and attaching the PC and Xbox to the switch, it was soon obvious that only the PC had connectivity. After much hair pulling, I finally found a post on dslreports.com by one lizi555 that explained a fix. Apparently the latest firmware (beyond 2.10) does not allow for more than one device (MAC address) to connect to the network via the switch.



To fix, telnet to the 2100AP's IP address 192.168.0.50 and enter the following commands -> set matstate 1 then -> reboot



This should set a flag for a variable to the following "MultiEthClient (Yes)!" You can check by establishing another telnet session and entering -> get matstate which will list several variables/values including the one above.



It took some doing, but now everything is flowing sweetly. I hope this helps anyone else that runs in to this problem.

I have 3 of these units working with a shared but hidden network and after some work and software upgrades have them set up for a good area network system... They work great once you figure them out... The instructions and on line support are not the greatest for a wireless network novice... Once you understand what you want and what they supply, you can set up a good home or local area wireless network...

It (or a combination of it and my wireless router) intereferes with bluetooth. Now if I want to use the bluetooth on my phone, I have to unplug all this stuff ;(. VERY ANNOYING!!! Installation took 3 hours with 2 different reps. D-link customer service is outstanding, by the way. Also, my download speed seems to be limited to 75 kbps on the WAP end. Upload is more than double that, which is wierd. Looks like I need another few hours on the phone with tech support.



Bottom line...works kinda well when you actually get it set up. However, getting it set up can be an exercise in patience. Expensive for the speeds I'm seeing :(
