mad as hell
i recently bought a D-Link DWL-800AP+ Range Extender for my parent’s place because their regular wireless router can be a little weak in certain parts of the house. to my chagrin, the product wouldn’t work with D-Link’s own DWL-713P wireless router. i should have checked the website first but i didn’t figuring it should probably work. Dlink’s solution is to buy the newer DWL-714P+ router or one of the other compatible ones.
this is pretty frustrating because the DWL-713P was only installed a few months ago when the 714P+ did not exist. also, range extending would seem like a pretty common thing to do so you’d figure that D-Link would sell a product that works with their “older” products. anyways, i’ll be looking for other solutions in the meantime.
