 Make your Network BIG July 19, 2004
alaric a clarke (paden city, west virginia United States)
This is truly a "no brainer" product. It will perform exactly as advertised. My wife runs a business next to our house and the signal from our router was always poor, so I purchased this to increase the signal. The only down side to this product is that it will only work with the "g" type routers. So I had to upgrade to a WRT54g from the BEFW11s4. Note: It will work with your "b" type adapters, but your speed will be limited by your adapters. It has been my experience that Linksys works best with other Linksys, so I recommend using all Linksys for your network. The WRT54g is an excellent router, it has more features and so far is more stable than my old router. Use a laptop to locate the edge of your signal area and place the expander just with in it. It has an "auto configuration" button. Then you can use the browser utility to configure it. You will get roughly double your routers range. If you need more range buy it!
 Does not work with WEP July 19, 2004
It does not work with WEP contradictory to the claims by Linksys and set-up instructions.
 OK for VERY simple wireless networks July 16, 2004
I had great difficulty setting up the unit. Even after disabling WEP and MAC filtering, configuring the unit to use WEP was annoying. Since you must setup the unit wirelessly (no ethernet connection is available) whatever wireless connection you are using to setup the unit must not be in range of any other wireless domain but your own. Whenever I tried to configure the unit using my wpc54g equiped laptop, my laptop would loose the original wireless connection to my network and connect to my neighbors wireless router instead of the wre54g. Once I got the unit configured it would work OK to extend the network, but would cause my wga54g to lockup after a few minutes, requiring a reboot of the wga54g and my XBOX. After two frustrating days I finally gave up and returned the unit. Oh well.
doesn't support WEP July 15, 2004

this is either a 5 star or a 1 star product. it either works or it doesn't. in my case - it didn't work with WEP which makes it useless. if you got this product to support your existing WEP you are in the minority. i spent 45 minutes on the phone with their bangalore tech support staff who told me to turn off WEP and use the auto config as this is the only way it will work. as of July 15, 2004 there is a known bug with this product which will not allow it to function using WEP. a firmware update is supposedly coming, but in the meantime - mine is going back. if you want to expand the range of your network for the enjoyment of your neighbors and anyone passing by, then this is the product for you. if you would like a modicum of security - then look elsewhere or at least be sure that the new firmware has addressed this issue.
Definitely worth it. July 15, 2004
I don't normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after dealing with Linksys' incompetent customer service representatives. I purchased this wireless range extender to complement a Linksys WRT54G router. After following the auto configuration instructions as well as the manual setup instructions, the extender still would not work. On top of that, it disrupted the connection my wireless computers already had! I decided to contact customer service. The first representative, who barely spoke coherent English, made me perform for 20 minutes the same steps I already had done (as if I couldn't read the instructions), put me on hold, then hung up on me. The second rep. either had no idea what I was asking or had no clue what to do. The first thing the third rep. asked me was the version of my router's firmware. It turns out that it was outdated and I needed an updated version. After updating that, the extender configured itself and my network range increased dramatically. This item is definitely worth the price. So please, if you purchase this product, update your router's firmware from the Linksys website.
