Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This extender ends up as a SECOND wireless network, with a different SSID than the network you're extending. This wasn't obvious (at least to me) from either the product descriptions or the the documentation. Hawking should be more clear - it's as simple as stating "this product works by creating another wireless network in your home, and that network has a different SSID". Why does this matter? Because I am unable to get either my laptop, running Windows XP Pro, or my PDA, running Windows Mobile 2003, to smoothly transition from one network to another when moved about the house. In both cases manual intervention is required, and in the case of the PDA I actually have to delete the network settings I don't want to connect to and add new settings for the one I do. Perhaps there's a better way to configure these devices, but I haven't found it. If you end up connecting only to the extender you should be fine, but I find that if I'm too close to either the WAP or the extender, I have to connect to a different SSID for reliable communications.
