Diamond Wireless Repeater Installation
Aj-c2wa-c118 Software Download. Recently I performed some wireless network troubleshooting for a client who owned a popular restaurant in a busy downtown district where wireless congestion was common. We tried switching wireless channels on their Wireless-G network using tools such as nSSIDer for assistance with analyzing the spectrum, but we didn't have any luck in improving the signal. The problem was that in the front area of the restaurant, guests could easily connect and use the internet without any trouble. But near the back of the establishment, thanks to distance of greater than 75 feet or so and a couple of large brick walls, the signal quality and strength was terrible.

Worst of all, the offices were in the back of the building, roughly 100 feet away, and three or more walls separated them from the router. Eventually we settled on this product. Once it arrived, setup was a breeze. I plugged it into a wall socket, gave it a moment to initialize, and then logged into its web server backend using a web browser pointed to the specified IP Address (don't worry; it's easy). From there, a wizard actually walks you through the available options: repeating or actually setting up a parallel (separate) network which shares the same internet/network connectivity. It's pretty simple how it works in case you aren't familiar.
The device connects as a client to the existing wireless network, then emits its own signal separately using, by default, the same network settings (SSID, encryption, and security settings) to either enhance the existing signal or add another network connectivity option with a separate SSID and even different encryption if you choose. This allows you to easily correct problems with poor signal quality, coverage, or range.
In our experimenting with setting it up, we found that placing it probably 75% of the way from the existing router toward the fringe of its signal coverage was the best option. The device still held a solid signal (it packs a pretty good antenna design) and emitted a very powerful second signal to enhance the network.
Clients connecting to the wireless network interface transparently with the device after it's added to the equation, so no reconfiguration is necessary. Bottom line, if you're having signal quality issues, it's a great buy. Nothing will make wireless as reliable as wired, of course, but this device will go a long way toward correcting any problems you have (within reason). Not much more to say than this product is great! Set-up was a breeze (read some of the reviews here for tips, like shutting off wireless on the laptop/PC you use to set this up, as the instructions are a bit vague) and the operation has been excellent! I've had it up and running for about 10 days now and have not had one issue. I even put it a bit far from the router (the instructions say to put it where it will still get a strong/max signal for best results), and even that has not been an issue.
I now get full bars in the basement and on the other side of the house, places where one bar to spotty/slow coverage was the norm. IF I had one caveat to all of this, the Diamond repeater isn't as sleek as some other plug-in repeaters.
It sticks out a bit from the wall and is literally a black box. So I guess you can take this review as being 4 and 3/4 stars, taking the 1/4 star away for form factor. Overall, very pleased with this. 9/2012 UPDATE: The repeater still works relatively well, but not as good as I stated above. Every once in a while, for no reason at all, it will drop the Wifi signal.
