Product Description
RangeBooster technology is a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G, which increases your wireless network's range up to two times, and its throughput by up to 35%. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections, RangeBooster uses two smart receivers at each end to detect and decode reflected signals at distances where standard technologies give up. You'll find that "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area are reduced, too.The Advanced security features make this solution ideal for your business. Advanced wireless security using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2 Enterprise) with up to 256-bit encryption, and the Wireless Security Monitoring functionality gives your business the visibility and protection it needs. The Wireless Security Monitoring functionality alerts you of possible wireless intruders, vulnerabilities in the wireless deployment, and visibility into Denial of Service attacks.The Linksys WAP200 Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network so you can add PCs to the network with no cabling hassle. Power over Ethernet support makes it easy to install - you can mount the Access Point anywhere, even without ready access to a power plug. With appropriate Power Over Ethernet support at the other end, you only need to run one cable to the Access Point to deliver both data and power. Of course, you can also use the included AC adapter if your installation point has power available nearby.Moreover, the integrated QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality on both the wired and wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business quality VoIP and video applications.Additional features like Multiple BSSIDs, Wireless Roaming, Auto-channel selection, and Load Balancing, make this solution ideal for your business.

Horrible performance.......2007-11-29
Needs work. I first installed firmware 1.0.22 and then configured for a simple AP. After a few minutes I noticed that my wireless internet connection was slowing to a stand still from 5megs to 120kb and back to 5megs. I also checked my Xbox 360 by attempting to access pictures from the Twonky media server, and the Xbox 360 would just hang (this worked just fine with my old AP). Then I attempted to configure VLAN, which upon saving the AP restarted. After the AP rebooted the wireless SSID changed to "MY AP" with no security, but looking at the configuration page it only listed my SSID with security enabled. Reboot again and my SSID was being broadcasted with security. I'm returning the unit back to Amazon. Cool features, but needs lots of work.
excellent features and range, but other issues.......2007-09-24
other reviewers have covered the good feature set of this unit. it's a good small business model. I was most impressed with it's inclusion of 4 separate SSIDs with selective isolation and security.
it has a great range. was able to cover an entire 7500 sq ft. machining facility with plenty of mechanical noise with just one unit in the middle.
cons: for me, the first unit I got would only transmit for 20 minutes before isolating itself from the gateway and the rest of the network. it eventually devolved into not responding at all. however, Amazon returns dept. took great care of me and the replacement seems to be working fine.
Very Satisfied.......2007-09-20
Buying an access point (or wireless equiment for that matter) is a tricky business since you never know how the different devices in the network will work together and setups it also a comfusing business...
I decided to buy this product after reading several buyers reviews that recommended this product.
I live in a three floors house and I have a Linksys router (WRT300N) in the upper floor. In order to deploy the wireless network aroud the house i bought two Linksys access points (WAP200) and placed each of them in a different floor. Setup was VERY easy, even with a WEP encryption.
The reception is excellent and I have full reception even through very think walls.
Nevertheless, when walking around the house, my laptop losses connection to the network and i have to manually "Repair" the connection in order to connect to the Internet again.
Bottom Line:
------------
+ Easy setup
+ Great Reception
- Doesn't work very well with roaming (moving aruond the house)
I'm hard to please... WAP 200 really good product (4 of 5).......2007-05-23
I needed to wirelessly network a Brooklyn Brownstone approximately 45' long by 100 feet tall 4 floors. Initially started with the Netgear
RANGEMAX WIRELESS ROUTER Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824)because of the advertised (last year Sept)
-MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology boosts network performance with up to 10x the speed and 10x the coverage of Wireless-G
Result: Signal traveled straight up to the upper floor without a problem, but could not reach the rooms from the middle to the front of the house 2nd ,3rd ,or 4th floors (Comcast cable modem placed on the second floor back). Mysteriously connections would drop without reason from time to time. Theory Comcast equipment was causing that problem, too, wireless phone and fax interference too being the possible gremlins.
Phase 2-Linksys Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G
used 3 Linksys Wireless G Extenders to act as repeaters on the upper floors. Could only manage to get a strong signal partially to the second floor but signal was intermittent. Could only link two extenders but the second, again dropped the signal intermittently and the dreaded `limited or no connectivity' message began. Observation proved these messages materialized while roaming-connecting to the second or third node (first node being Netgear WPN824). Though the signal was seen (in some cases very good) Netgear had a time issuing IP addresses past the first node.
Phase 3, after spending 1 whole day surfing the net for info. I decided to start anew....after much comparing and no reviews to go by. I decided on the Linksys WAP 200 because of its versatility and advertised signal strength - it could be an accesspoint, a repeater, or a bridge...and because I had the G extenders from Linksys that I became familiar with....
200AP 2 Linsys WAP200
Setup 1- Continue the Netgear as the Ethernet to cable box, wireless access point, with DHCP server, using the 2 200's as repeaters. The main problem, after becoming familiar with the WAP200 was still the `Limited or no connectivity' message. I `trial and erred' the settings ,I observed a correlation between RIP and the error msg. I also noted the msg occurring much more on my older lap (XP home), vs my girl friends newer (XP) lap.
Setup 2- using the Netgear as the DHCP server, Ethernet to cable box SWITCH. One of the 200's would account for a wireless access point (located on the second floor, 2 ft from the Netgear), the other a 200 a Repeater (3rd floor hall...I added a Hawking Technology's HAI15SC,Hawking HAI15SC 15dBi Hi-Gain Directional Corner Antenna 2.4GHz Hi-Gain Wireless Corner Antenna, boosts your wireless signal strength from 2dBi (standard) to 15dBi to the second floor 200...didn't think I needed it). This configuration covered the whole house, there were a few low signal readings at the extreme ends on the 4th floor 3ft from the front window , which I intended to eliminate with the Linksys G Extender.
Which brings me to the only concern- AP Mode gives you the opportunity to use the 200 in either 1 of 3 modes
AP Mode Screen
Use this screen to configure the Access Point mode. The three available modes are Access Point, Wireless Repeater, and Wireless Bridge.
The 200 that was used as the wireless access point needed the MAC address of the 200 used as a Repeater (in Repeater mode-- max 3 MAC addresses). Adding the address of the second wap200 (as Repeater) was'nt an issue, all worked perfectly. When I added the MAC addresses of the G Extenders `Limited connectivity' messages again appeared, I tried various combo's including changing the order but always a problem...perhaps the repeaters have to be legit repeaters or WAP200's...anywho I found this interesting and will be taking the 3 extenders back to Best Buy
Conclusions-
overall I found the Linksys WAP 200 a really good product. I don't believe you have to know the nuts and bolts about networking to get the WAP200 up and running. The documentation will not be of help to a newbie, but if you google your concerns you may learn a thing or two. $124 is a really good price for the endless possibilities one could use this 3-in-1 wireless network product......btw I speed tested the connections, watched video (google video, Youtube) while roaming around the house and it never dropped a signal.

Apartment reception, finally!.......2007-12-26
I like in an apartment complex in Des Moines, Iowa and receive all my TV programming via rabbit ear antennas. When I switched to HD, I was amazed at how great I could pick up "most" channels without all the static. I had been using a Radio Shack 15-1878 ($33) amplified antenna on my TiVo in the livingroom and on my Elgato EyeTV Hybrid HDTV receiver in the bedroom. It worked okay, but couldn't pick up "all" the HDTV stations without adjusting the antenna. If I adjusted on a per-channel basis, it worked just fine, but with automated recorders like TiVo, I either couldn't get ABC or another weak station.
After reading an extensive review of this MAST510 antenna, I was about to order one to try out. A Google search revealed it was for sale at Wal Mart as well (an option in case it doesn't work for you; easier to return to a local brick and mortar store).
My results: great! On my new TiVo HD recorder, every channel picks up around 80% signal strenth, and it found about 6 new digital channels I didn't even know we had (informercials, etc.). It also picks up the analog stations (with static) better than my old antenna.
This antenna worked great for me -- and solved my problem of having an antenna I could just "set and forget" and know my TiVo could pick up all teh channels I needed.
I recommend, but am always open to learning of an even better antenna.
Very Good, but Adjustable Gain Not So Good.......2007-12-22
This is my second HDTV antenna choice and so far the best performing (for me). My house sits low and surrounded by trees. I don't get good cell phone, FM or TV reception at my location. There must be quite a bit of reflections and multi-path signals because of the surroundings, which is evident in bad windy weather.
But, for me this antenna has performed very well. No video drops or pixelation (although weather has been good lately and not fully tested in bad weather).
The problem with this antenna is that the antenna gain slowly diminishes after several hours. For example, after setting the amplifier about half-way, several hours later it will be at zero. Why? I don't know - design flaw? I tried two and both behaved the same. Someone at an audio forum confirmed theirs also behaved as such.
It's a problem for me because the antenna connects to my Tivo and has to be operational all the time. Tivo can record at any given moment.
If the amplifier gain operated as expected I'd give 5-stars for performance, reception and value. Remember, everyone's situation is different, so your mileage may vary.
A well engineered HDTV indoor antenna........2007-12-18
I purchased this antenna to replace a set of cheap unamplified "rabbit ears" used with a HDTV ATSC(over the air)tuner card in my PC.
The result was a slight improvement in reception.
I didn't get any new channels but it seems the reception is more stable and less "stuttering" experienced.
The advantages of the antenna appear clear though when considering the conveniences in connecting and adjusting it:
- a stable base tat fits perfectly on a windowsill.
- the UHF loop rotates freely almost 360 deg and the telescopic "rabbit ears" can be adjusted independently in any direction.Both without moving the base.
- the amplifier adjusts in five steps via up-down push buttons.The amplifier use is tricky though,it appears each channel needs a different setting for best reception.
- a separate connector allows bringing in the CATV cable and a selector switch is provided to choose either ATSC or cable reception.
- a "brick" type power supply is provided and an on-off switch is present on the antenna base.
- all connections are made at the antenna base; no "hanging" cables used in this design.
Al in all a decent antenna with a better design than similar items.
nice antenna.......2007-12-14
We were getting decent reception from normal indoor antenna / rabbit ears, and this product really "sharpens" up most channels. It also eliminated for us the need to "tweak" settings when we change channels.
Just to note - our reception was already decent with no amplification. This product performed well.
The one thing I don't like about it is the buttons to adjust the gain, and the on/off switch is on the back. Not a big deal, though, and for the price, this is a nice looking antenna as well!
good antenna.......2007-12-08
Years ago I got great results with a couple of amplified directional outdoor UHF antennas. Those antennas didn't work well indoors. This is the first indoor UHF TV antenna I've seen that worked well. There's not much trouble with ghosts and the gain control can be adjusted for minimal snow and best color. There's less audio distortion. Broadcast analog TV is more enjoyable now, and I'm confident that I'll get good reception of digital broadcasts.

Poor Documentation.......2007-02-04
The printer is shipped without a CD to perform driver installation.
The expectation is that you sign up on their technical support website and download the driver yourself (boo).
The documentation is poor, and does not address troubleshooting problems, which is just about guaranteed with this printer.
If you have a problem, you can call their number (hours are Pacific time, so I guess we're all supposed to live on the West Coast).
There's no online chat with customer support.
I'm very suprised by how cavalier this company is with their customers (boo).
