Convert your DWL-800AP+ Wireless Repeater to a DWL-810+ Wireless Bridge

This is not going to be of interest to many, so I will keep it short. My dad gave me a D-Link DWL-800AP+ wireless repeater which he attempted to set up years ago without success. I really had no use for it, but I stumbled onto a post about converting the unit into a wireless bridge. The conversion only requires a firmware change. It has an 802.11b radio, but that's ok for low bandwidth devices such as printers. Click here for the firmware and instructions.


7/1/2008 - Someone sent me an email and said the link to the firmware was broken. I searched and found it again:

Here is a link to the firmware:
