 Huge Hassle in a Box, 2008-10-06
This is my first review, so lower your expectations on my forthcoming ramblings. And now lower your expectations on this product. The setup for this may have been the most complicated i have experienced with anything. GRANTED, I am not a computer guy, but I have a friend who is, and received his help. After the long debacle that unfolded, I compensated him with a lil $ and a meal for surviving the horrors we encountered. After an hour or 2 of attempting to get this to link my to my brother's weak wireless signal (100+ ft. away across a backyard) sent from his Linksys modem/router thingee,(model # cwg600? ish?), we finally established a connection verified by the blue lights on the unit itself. HOWEVER, even though this unit was talking to my brother's modem, i could not get the INTERNET for my ps3, (which has since been given ydl linux 5.0 os), because the connection was local access only. After receiving NO? help from linksys tech support for an hour (if there was any help given, we could not decode it b/c the accent of phone tech was indecipherable-- not their fault, but no help, either), I was ready to throw in the towel. My friend was not. He offered to take it home to try and link it to his system. I decided that i wanted one last shot. On the box of the unit was a picture of a wireless access point do-hickey with which the expander was supposed to work. After a quick trip to the local electronics store (and Taco Bell b/c we were starving), we hooked the Linksys WAP54G? wireless access point directly to my brother's modem via an ethernet cable. After just a couple of minutes we were easily able to get the expander to recognize the $80 wap. My PS3 was magically granted the internet and the ability to write this wonderous review b/c I took a stab in the dark (no thanks to linsys support- who promised to call back yet never did- I wasn't holding my breath...) by buying a seperate piece of equipment. The expander works alright now- sometimes, although not often,it loses connection with the wap (evidenced by a red light) and automatically finds it again after a few to several seconds. On some occations i have to unplug the expander for a moment to get the connection back quickly.
To make a long story short, if you are trying to connect this range expander to something other than the linksys modem or wap written on the box, you will need a copious amount of know-how, patience, and perscription strength drugs to calm frustrations. Once you get connected, you can then buy AND REVIEW products to your heart's content. Hope this helps- i know writing this review has been theraputic for me...
