LOCKS UP CONSTANTLY
Pros: Great features
Cons: D-link has poor customer support. These units constantly lockup and need to be restarted often times a hard reset is needed where the power must be unplugged. I would not recommend this product to anyone especially to those with limited networking skills

Very easy to use, great features, wish it had built in access point.
Pros: Very easy to use, very customizable, easy setup, our restaurant clients love the ability to provide their clients wireless access without back office security concerns.
Cons: Expensive but price is comming down quickly. Have to buy separate wireless access point.

Secure, Easy, and Expandable
Pros: Firewall features, DHCP, RADIUS server support, Bandwidth control per user, easy to use and setup, modular (works with any Access Point or network of APs), login/out web page, traffic monitoring, and these are only the features I like most. A+
Cons: I've installed this in a few coffee shops for clients and there isn't anything my clients want that this can't do. I can think of certain functions that might be nice, but right now it is perfect for coffee shops who aren't very technically inclined, but

No Wireless Access Point
Pros: Provide secure gateway for public wireless hotspot
Cons: No access point. Check the Sonicwall SOHO TZW - it has secure login, and acts as firewall/router/vpn support for both internal and public wireless LAN.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: D-Link Systems Inc.
- Part number: DSA-3100
- Description: D-Link, the industry leader in innovative networking solutions, introduces the Airspot family of service gateway products. With the increasing number of telecommuters and road warriors, Wi-Fi enabled hotspots have spread across the country to accommodate the need for on-demand Internet access. The D-Link Airspot DSA-3100 Public/Private Gateway provides business owners a simple solution for adding public Internet service to their establishment while still maintaining the integrity of their existing network. The DSA-3100 is a secure gateway designed to create two distinct networks through its integrated public and private ports. By adding a wireless access point to the public port on the DSA-3100, customers and patrons can connect to a free or fee-based broadband Internet connection. Through the private port, hotspot operators can be assured their private and confidential information is secured from public access. And depending on the establishment size and network deployment needs, hotspot operators can add switches and access points to expand their networks to provide full wireless coverage. Business owners maintain full control over their hotspot service using the DSA-3100's wide variety of advanced features. This gateway manages up to 250 user accounts in its internal database and supports at least 50 users online at any time. Additional features include user bandwidth control, network policy enforcement, customizable user timer, login/logout web-page, online traffic monitoring, and URL redirection. The DSA-3100 also supports NAT IP Plug & Play (PnP), which allows any networkable computer to connect to the Internet without having to change their static IP configurations. In order to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your public hotspot services, the DSA-3100 supports Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) to ensure all connecting wireless users have been granted access. The DSA-3100 also supports POP3, RADIUS, and LDAP external authentication for larger-scale hotspot networks. For the private network, the integrated DHCP server and firewall with Denial of Service (Dos) Protection safeguards the network from malicious attacks and hackers. Hotspot operators can easily manage the DSA-3100 unit and all its provided features via its Web-based configuration utility. The user-friendly interface is intuitive enough for anyone managing the hotspot establishment to use and reconfigure settings if necessary. Whether the location is a coffee shop, airport terminal, bookstore, or resort, business owners can maximize their network investment using DSA-3100 Public/Private Gateway to provide their customers with the value-added service of a public hotspot network.
