 Run Away! September 7, 2008
Do not buy this product! It is faulty from set-up to use. And nothing works without major doses of help from other users (as you've read here).
And when it's set-up, it doesn't do a very good job.
So spend you money on a new wireless router with extended capabilities.
You are warned.
 Works great.... if you can set it up September 5, 2008
I must agree with previous reviewers that this is a great product, if you can actually install it! I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with linksys tech support before actual installation, but now that this product is installed, it works great. I have Comcast modem that is in my kitchen, but was unable to get decent signal in my basement. Now that the expander is working, my basement signal went from 1 to 5 bars. I'm giving this product 4 instead of 5 stars based on the long, painful installation process.
My one additional piece of advice is this -- I have a WRT54G v3 linksys router. However, it is 3 years old. I needed tech support to help me install an updated version on my router to get the expander to recognize it. Unfortunately, my tech support warranty had run out on my router, so I had to pay an additonal $39.99 for tech support for the router. I went ahead and paid this since I was already 1.5 hours into my tech support call and was determined to get the expander to work.
So, to reiterate previous reviewers -- if you cannot install this product on your own, call tech support. They usually answer pretty quickly. However, just be patient. Good luck!

Needed to expand wireless coverage to another building downhill and through trees about 300 feet from the base with a utility building in between. By mounting this unit in the utility building we were able to get at least some coverage. It was a little spotty but generally effective. The unit is very easy to setup with unsecured networks but was very tempermental in recognizing the security. Overall it was a very good buy.
 Fast install (w/ security) & great power August 27, 2008
I had this up and running with security-enabled network within 5 minutes. I simply followed the directions in the box and ran the wizard from my laptop---and the installation took place over my current wireless network. There was no need to use a single cat-5 cable.
The power (range increase) and speed of connection seem great so far. I went from two bars w/ unusable connection speeds to a five bar connection that seems as fast as my computer that is within range of the router itself.
