Experience with the DWL-700AP as a Wireless Client
Pro:
Cheap € 49!
Can act as an Access Point, as a Repeater and as a Wireless
Client too
Seems to work
Strong enough for the entire house. The Access Point is placed
in the middle story and all rooms and most of the garden gets
covered.
Looks nice
Can be wall mounted
Contra:
No useful documentation available, for Repeater and Wireless
Client
Pressing Reset or Reset to Factory
Defaults in the HTTP interface both wipe your settings.
Grr.
Close to no diagnostic tools.
DHCP can't do static assignments
HTTP user interface badly executed
Case is sloppily manufactured
If you want a DWL-700AP as a Wireless Client with WEB
encryption, you need to set Authentication in
http://192.168.0.50/h_wireless.html to Shared
Key. Open System might also work, but
Auto reliably fails.
Don't go crazy with the local IP settings just give both a unique
IP on your local net.
Otherwise you don't need any magic.
