What our customer's say!

"Great for Repeating and Extending Wireless Network", You guys who use WEP/WPA etc are idiots... use MAC address filtering, and you don't need to use login/passwords. the MAC address filter will stop anyone attempting to connect from getting a IP address at ALL.


Anyways, I use the DWL-G810 as a wireless repeater to extend the range of my wireless net work, works great. Out house is 4,800 sq ft, and it's difficult to pass wireless signal from upstairs on one side of the house to downstairs on the other side, and this device placed half way point downstairs easily extends the network.

No experience using it as a bridge.

"Item is EOL and has a bios error", This particular product has a bios error on the board which causes the connection to reset. The product is also past End Of Life with D-Link, so they provide no support to remedy this problem. Purchase at your own risk.

"D-Link DWL-G810 sucks", This Wireless bridge completely sucked. The firmware was buggy never saved my information. It said it supported WPA which it did not have any fields for it. If i did get it to connect to my access point it would immediately disconnect. D-Link had always cool looking devices. This was a square plastic cheap box with a giant D on the front of it and a big annoying light on the front. This product could use a lot of redesign. Specially the firmware. I would not recommend for a wireless bridge.

"Does not play well with others", Stay away if you plan on using this with a Linksys router. Nothing I tried, over the span of two days, would get the thing to work for more than two minutes. Even putting the unit next to the router, 2 inches away, and it couldn't see it half the time, the other half it'd drop 90% of the packets.

Your mileage may vary, but note that this isn't the only review to highlight issues with Linksys routers.

"Defective product", I bought this device to connect my TiVo to my wireless G network. WPA encryption did not work. WEP didn't even work. Tried different firmwares but nothing worked. Don't look here if you want WPA.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Interchangable firmware", This may (or may not) void your warranty, but the firmware on this product (DWL-G810) and the AP product (DWL-G800AP) is interchangable. This may be more useful for people who purchase the AP/Repeater product and find it useless (since the repeater is only compatible with a few select D-Link products).

I purchased a DWL-G800AP by mistake, intending to purchase this product. I'm happy to say that, after switching firmware, I'm bridging my network at 54mb/sec. The web interface even says DWL-G810 on it. All thanks go to D-Link for keeping production costs low by introducting two identicle products and marketing them in different ways!

"Works Flawlessly", I am not sure why most reviews are so negitive. Maybe people are having problems following directions. I have an entire D-Link wireless network and have not had one problem. 1 desk top, 2 laptops, printer, and Replay tv. D-Link makes a wonderful wi-fi network.

"As a sole wireless bridge it works OK, but has issues. . .", After getting the DWL-G810 wireless bridge unit, I updated to firmware 2.15, ran it with WPA-PSK encryption, and it would drop the connection after 15-45 minutes of use. Then I tried it with WEP encryption, and it seemed to work okay IF there was no other wireless device on or near the network (i.e. just the wireless access point/router and the DWL-G810 device).

Compared to some competing Linksys products I've used, this D-Link DWL-G810 bridge seems to have a certain amount of lag in response--that is, if you want to open up www.cnn.com it takes about 50% longer to start loading up the page than would the Linksys wireless bridges (which to me, seemed like they acted like they were hard-wired to the router).

However, my biggest issue with the DWL-G810 is when another wireless-enabled computer was brought to the network, the DWL-G810 would mess up the wireless signal, and seemingly "jam" the AP/router's signal--so no computers could successfully connect to the wireless AP/router (I confirmed this phenomenon with Linksys BEFSW11 v.4, Linksys WRT54G v2, and D-Link DI-524 routers). If the DWL-G810 was disabled, all of the other wireless computers could connect to any of the aforementioned wireless AP/routers.

From the reviews, it seems like other users are having connectivity issues w/ this DWL-G810 bridge as well. Probably the most problematic unit I've dealt with from D-Link, as I've usually had pretty good luck w/ D-Link products in general.

Personally, I'd avoid purchasing the DWL-G810 wireless bridge, and going with a solid wireless bridge like the Linksys WET54G or the Linksys WET11 (or even the WAP54G, and configure it as a wireless bridge w/ the newer firmware available from www.linksys.com).

"DWL-G810 does not work as advertised", I recently purchased a DWL-G810 and a DWL-2100AP in order to connect a Replay TV to my LAN and the internet. I had been accomplishing this same task for years with a DWL-810+ and a DWL-900AP without problem. The reason for the upgrade was to increase speed with the Extreme G feature and stream live video. The 2100AP set up easily and without problem but the G810 would not make a stable, dependable connection. I upgraded the firmware which only made the problem worse. I purchased a second unit thinking maybe the first was defective, but the second unit displayed the same problems. I spent hours on the phone with D-Link support(numerous dropped calls,many language problems with techs, but on the positive side short waits, and some very good techs)without solution to the problem, even though we went all the way to level 3 support. Their conclusion was that both units were defective. Personally I think the design is defective. In desperation,I purchased a Belkin F5D7330 Wireless Ethernet Bridge(even though I wanted to stay with D-Link, because I have all D-Link equipment in my network) and it connected flawlessly, right out of the box, no set up required.
I am currently using a DI-624 router, a DP 300U print server, a DWL-2100AP, and DWL 650 PMCIA card, all D-link products that work quite well, but the DWL-G810 is a bust and D-link owes us previously loyal customers an apology for putting this product on the market. That's my opinion.

"Worthless", This isn't a wireless bridge, it's a wireless jammer. It works for about 60 seconds, bridging flawlessly, and then it jams my access point hopelessly (it won't work again until the DWL-G810 is turned off for good and the access point is power cycled). And this is after flashing the unit with the latest firmware. The firmware that shipped on the unit was 2.13, which the D-Link website says is beta firmware and not to be used for anything but testing. Say what? They shipped that?

I should note that I tried it with WPA encryption. The unit may work better with no encryption, or perhaps with WEP. But those modes are unacceptable, especially in an 802.11g network, where you expect WPA as a matter of course.

Beware this unit, unless you're in the market for an 802.11g jammer.
