 Excellent for Intended Use as a Repeater September 7, 2008
The product works as a repeater, creates a seperate SSID so not seemless from one part of the "bed and breakfast" to the other, but guests with no reception in one area, can log into the network on a different SSID and get service. The one-touch connect did not work as the manual suggested, I needed Belkin phone technical support to get configured. The user guide does not cover the manual configuration approach I needed to do, not difficult once you know how to do it.
 Hardware does not work and the software does not run September 6, 2008
Similar to other comments, I had no luck getting this device to link with my router. After installing the software from the CD to try to communicate with the device via a wired connection, the software simply crashed. I downloaded the version on Belkin's web site and got the same result. I'm sending this thing back.
Review of Belkin Wireless Range extender September 5, 2008
This product appeared to be the perfect solution for my networking needs but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. First off, forget the instructions that came with the product-they are flat out wrong and inaccurate. You cannot set up the product as described in the instruction. I spent a long time trying to connect the range extender to my current network but failed after following the instructions. I called the costumer service number and spent about 1 hour with them-they were unable to set up the product. They promised me that they would call me with a more senior level technician to help me set up but I never received a call. Beware-do not buy this product.
True plug 'n play September 4, 2008
Setup was straight forward and works like a charm. Now have internet in the garage and train room. A little fiddling around to find the best spot without the wife complaining and now whole house and yard covered.
It sort of works..... September 3, 2008

First of all, the range extender isn't as hard to set up as everyone says.
Basically:
1. connect LAN line from extender to your computer
2. Change your manual LAN ip to 198.168.2.100
3. Use any web browser to connect to the range extender by typing in 198.168.2.254
4. Change all the basic setting to reflect that of your router except for the SSID, which you can change to anything you want.
5. Change the security setting to reflect that of your router.
6. hit apply and you are all done.
BUT the extender doesn't extend the range of my wireless enough. If you have a weak wireless signal, the range extender only increases it about 3 times, which is not nearly enough. Also, the range of the extender isn't good either. If you use your laptop on the different floor of your house than the range extender is at, the signal drops to about 1/2.
Overall: not good, find another range extender to buy.
