Amazon.com Product Description:
The WPN802 makes it easy for even a novice to set up a wireless network: just plug the included Ethernet cable from the WPN802 into your router. That's it. NETGEAR's Smart Wizard provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through the setup. There are a myriad of placement options, and an included stand lets you place the access point vertically. With the smart antennas built in, the access point maintains an elegant form factor with clean lines. The WPN802 employs a web-based interface for configuration. The firmware is upgradeable via the web interface so you can be sure your access point will always be up-to-date. Fast and Secure The WPN802 supports the 802.11g standard but thanks to Smart MIMO technology that incorporates intelligent internal antennas, the access point is able to detect interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones and adjust itself accordingly. The upshot is speeds up to 108 Mbps with a longer range and a lack of "dead zones" in your home. When used with NETGEAR's adapters, it provides up to 500,000 square feet of uninterrupted coverage. If you still have computers that use 802.11b, don't fret as the access point is backwards compatible with the older wireless standard and can be set so all your computers can connect to the network. In fact, the access point improves performance of legacy 802.11b and 802.11g devices up to 50 percent. The WPN802 offers many security options to ensure your data is private. Both 40/64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption is supported, as well as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK). You can also use MAC address authentication to allow only authorized users onto the network and Wireless Access Control (SSID) to identify authorized wireless network devices. Repeater Mode In addition to functioning as an access point, the WPN802 also has support for a wireless repeater mode with Wireless Distribution System (WDS). This allows you to extend an existent wireless network to a range outside its current capability. The NETGEAR WPN802 RangeMax Wireless Access Point is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box WPN802 RangeMax Wireless Access Point, vertical stand, power adapter, Ethernet cable, resource CD, setup guide, and warranty/support information card. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Works as a WAP, but does not work as a wireless repeaterI'll provide detail below, but to summarize my review, this product works fine as a standalone wireless access point but did not work at all for me as a wireless repeater, even when using 2 of these devices with one as the primary and the second as the repeater. Here is the problem I was trying to solve with this product...after re-locating my office and Verizon Fios Actiontec wireless router into the basement of my home, I found that the Actiontec was not strong enough to provide reliable ... Read More Rating:  - Wireless Access PointThis product worked as advertised, but it didn't solve the problem we got it for, which was interference from wireless surveillance cameras. Even with this access point in the same room, I couldn't get an iPod Touch to reliably use Wi-Fi connectivity if the surveillance cameras were active. The final solution was to get cameras that operate on 5.8 Mhz. You can find those by searching on Amazon. This access point however did work fine, and was easy to set up. Rating:  - Netgear WPN802The Netgear WPN802 access point performed well once installed. I'm a novice at the networking stuff and had a bit of trouble accessing the 802 once it was deployed because of dynamic IP address. However, once I learned how to access my router I found the allocated IP address of the 802 and I was able to adjust its settings. This issue could have been covered in the really skimpy User docs. Rating: - Powerful transmitter!This product is meant to be used with a router, it plugs into a router. It is basically a long range antenna, and is a real flame thrower. It can be used with your existing wireless router to vastly extend it's range, or to make a non wireless router a wireless router. Do NOT expect to plug a dsl or cable modem into this device and have it work as a router. You MUST have a router. With this device, you can give your whole residential neighborhood wi-fi access if you mount it high enough. Rating: - Wireless access point at its best.This product is great. No antennas and I still get great signal strength. Its compact and perfect. Don't mind the price either. |
