Reviews of the AirStation 54 Mbps Wireless Compact Repeater Bridge-g
-
CNET Review
The Good: Convenient network expansion; 802.11b and 802.11g support; excellent security options; external antenna connector; small.
The Bad: WDS mode works with only Buffalo products; terse user guide; poorly translated configuration tool.
The Bottom Line: The Buffalo WLA-G54C is the best wireless repeater we've seen to date, and it's a great building block for an expandable network.
Manufacturer: Buffalo Technology
Part number: WLA-G54C
