To chime in on this, the product you are mentioning itself is great,
and dlink generally makes great products. I'm typing with a beer in my
hand, but one thing you need to consider is whether or not you will
want to repeat this signal. Dlink has had a 54G repeater on their
website (DWL-G800AP) for about six months yet you can't buy it
anywhere. They just released the dwl2100AP which will act as a
repeater for your 624 but it is a little pricey if you can get your
hands on one. I'm an avid Dlink fan, but I noticed that Linksys has a
new firmware revision for their more available and affordable products
that will get you more flexibility. Just my two cents, and this info
could be dated a week or two. I install wireless for residential
clients and as soon as their laptop gets out of range they want to
know what their options are. For a good bit of time, with the 624
there weren't many. I tried to use the lower level dlink repeater with
the 614 router but it wasn't very effective. As a standalone router
however, the 624 is really nice and it has some range to it. Here is a
snippet from the Linksys firmware notes:
Version 2.06, December 16, 2003 (ver.2 initial release)
- Updated User Interface format and layout
- Updated wireless driver to support all versions of WAP54G hardware
- Adds AP Client Mode
- Adds Wireless Repeater Mode for WAP54G and WRT54G (requires fw
2.02.2 or above)
Hope this helps.
