Anonymous verified purchaser , “I'm a computer engineer”

+ Looks nice & can be wall mounted

- Software is utterly useless - Windows config works better. Frequently drops connections and needs rebooting to re-connect. Limited range and inadequate power.
Infuriating piece of kit from the so-called market leader Cisco.

Rolf, Aberdare , “not a computer expert”

+ Has somewhat improved the wifi range in an old, thickwalled stone-built house, but not brilliant. Set-up was not too bad, once you realise that you do need a modem also.

- requires an additional modem, making the desk rather cluttered and increasing cost. This is not clearly spelt out on the box or in the descriptions until you start setting it up. Wifi signal for 5hz band is weak if further away from the router, but 2.4 Hz signal is stronger than before using a Netgear g-standard wifi router alone. Together they have improved coverage, but there are still areas with a poor signal in the 3-storey house.
