Colossal Piece of Crap!
Believe what you read, it's a piece of crap. I've connected it, I've changed the IP, I've even gone into it and changed all the settings. Nothing works. I knew things were bad when the "push the button to automatically connect" routine failed miserably. I called tech support and they were just as bad as this product.

Did not work for me
I wasted several hours with this device until I finally gave up. The technical support was polite and seemed knowledgeable, but could not help me. I ended up returning this device and bought a high powered USB receiver instead. This solved my problem for about the same price.

Works pretty well
Had a tough time finding the signal at first. I didn't set it all that far away from the router, but once I found a good spot, I had about a fifty foot extended range. Again not as far as I would have liked, but it gets me halfway across the house and that's OK. I had no problems with this extender and Vista. I did not try to use it as a router. For a less expensive repeater and a short signal extension I will recommend this, but if you're looking for a long distant repeater you may want to try another unit.

How to set up Extender as Ethernet bridge
The product works fine as an Extender. I am using it with my WRT54gs Linksys AP (flashed with sveasoft firmware), with WPA security. As mentioned by other members disregard the instructions from Belkin; use the ones from reviewer Chovy instead.
Several reviewers discussed using the Extender as an Ethernet bridge. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it. Here are the instructions:
- Follow the instructions to set up the Extender as a Repeater
- Make sure your PC is still connected to the Extender using the enclosed cable
- Set up your TCP/IP as such:
