Product Description

The Netgear WG602 Wireless Access Point simultaneously supports both IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard devices and networks. This dual mode capability protects your 802.11b wireless investment and, at the same time, has you ready for the up to five times faster 802.11g. Higher speeds expedite large file downloads and facilitate videoconferencing and the distribution and playing of high-quality multimedia content.

Network users can share a broadband Internet connection; access e-mail; download large files; videoconference; and distribute and play digital images, videos, and MP3 files. Easy to set up and use, Netgear's intuitive Install Assistant makes driver installation a cinch. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest assured that your wireless network communications are private. MAC address authentication offers enhanced security by ensuring only authorized users can access the network.

Thorough testing ensures quality and reliable operation, which Netgear backs up with a solid 3-year warranty. The WG602 is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP.

bridging use..

I bought this product to use it as a bridging client in an existing belkin wireless network and it failed to pass any data even though it showed connected to the belkin Access point.According to the Netgear docs this access point can operate as a access point or as a bridging client but what the fail to tell you is that it bridges only in a netgear environment. After spending 20 mins on the phone with Netgear they told me i needed to buy a different model which is non netgear-proprietary or more...

Fast & Easy Installation with included CD

Truly a fast and easy installation.Make sure you do the steps correctly (there are only like 4 of them!) and you'll be wireless in no time. It took me 5 minutes from box to install.Truly the way to go if you want to have both wired for some computers and wireless for others....

Works as I hoped

I read other people's reviews recommending its functionality but complaining about its documentation. It did take me a number of tries to get it to work and to find a location for it. But it works fine in the end. I did have to give up on WEP and turn to MAC-based access control. The instruction apparently is too simplistic and assumes you have a Netgear router. I use it to extend a Hawking 54g wireless router to cover 2 floors, with WG602 in repeater mode. Theantenna give better signal than a 7db...

review of Netgear WG602

In an attempt to increase the range on my Netgear MR 314 router, I got this WG602 access point but I could not get it to function.I was told I needed two of them, so I got a second one and I still could not make it work.I gave up and replace my router with a RangeMax WPN 824 and it is terrific.Gives me all the range I could want, letting me send and receive at 24 Mbs where the MR 314 would not reach at all....

DO NOT BUY

I wish I had read the problems and netgear.com forums before purchasing this product.Huge flaw in this product requires that it be restarted daily. This requires you unplug and plug back in the AP in order for it to stay visable to your computers.Second problem I am noticing is that the 54mbps speeds are very rare, and even at 3-5feet from the AP the unit is around 11-36mpbs.Do not buy this product, find another company who stands behind there products. All of my contacts with them have landed me...
