Digital camera reviews of D-Link DWL-G730AP AirPlus G High Speed 2.4GHz 802.11g Wireless Pocket Router/AP
Digital camera Review: Absolutely Phenomenal !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say that the title doesn't already? D-Link is on top of there game with this product. Simple and to the point directions make setting up this device as easy as 1-2-3! I bought this device for my wife, as she travels a great deal. She is absolutely in love with it now! The wireless freedom in her hotel room more than makes up for the price. Not to mention when she must attend company conferences where she has a roommate. Now there is no scheduling broadband access. Simply plug the DWL-G730AP in and both her and her roommate are connected via the hotel broadband! The bottom line is that I have been in the IT industry for quite a few years now. The security of this device and its performance are phenomenal! I'm not quite sure why the first reviewer had such a bad time with his device, as the firmware is still at 1.0, which is what the device intially shipped with. Maybe he simply encountered quite a bit of wireless interference, or maybe he just happened to get a defective one? What I can vouch for is the one that my wife and I currently use, works beyond belief! Congrats D-Link on a phenomenal product!Digital camera Review: Amazingly portable router!
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent quality! Very satisfied. A must have for any mobile professional. However, gave it 4 stars because it stops working properly after prolonged use due to overheating (expectable for such a tight packed electronics). So, handle and treat it accordingly (don't block the vent holes, give it a chance to cool down periodically). Thank you Amazon for a great deal and blazing fast shipment too!Digital camera Review: Awesome travel router!

I am actually writing this review using the DWL-G730AP access point. It's super tiny and works flawlessly.
I've used it a a hotel conference where the conference room had 1 lan port and using this router I managed to securely share that connection with over 20 attendees. Performance was more than acceptable and signal strength, despite it's dimunitive size, is impressive.
Overall a well balanced product. My only beef is that I wish they had made the power adapter even smaller, and oh yeah, the thing looks ugly. I wish they made it more stylish looking.
But those 2 caveats do not affect the performance of the router in any way, they are just my comments.
Go ahead and buy it! You'll be satisfied!
Digital camera Review: Bad QA
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought the DWL-G730AP from CompUSA and tried with 3 laptops. None could comunicate with the unit. Exchanged for another, this time I can access the menu after disabled all the firewall (bad practice) but that was how far it could go. It would be great if it works but I am unwilling to try for the 3rd unit. I just stay away from D-Link from now on.Digital camera Review: Buggy and poor QA
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this unit after trying the Wyflyer and it was easier to get running however the documentation is poor. The AC adapter failed after about 2 weeks of use and all contacts with D-Link support have been ignored. I can still use the unit via the USB power supply however it seems to get unreasonably hot which leads me to question how much power it is pulling from the USB adapter. I think it has fried one USB port already but can not conclusively prove it was this units fault. If I try to use the AC adapter built in the unit gets frying hot in seconds and never does finish the boot.
