I have used many bargain & a few name brands of wireless network routers equipment over the years.
I bought this D-Link because it is almost as inexpensive as the bargain brands, some of which worked, some of which didn’t & all of which lacked helpful software and instructions. I’m using 2 of these DIR-601′s a Wireless Access Points. No interference with each other (BTW, 2.4 GHz portable phones interfere with all wireless network devices, so we switched to Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones). There are simple instructions in the PDF manual, which is quite good overall, for hooking them into a router & using them as WAPs. They connect easily to our laptops and iPad — just choose your network and type in your password (WPA2 encryption is best) the first time — no software drivers required. We run both G and N laptops. Range seems excellent. Setup software is easy to use. I like this D-Link so much I bought my son one. He uses it as a wireless router at his apartment and it works fine for him too.
