I bought three of these to use with the Peplink Balance One router. The wireless range isn't as good as the Apple Airport Extreme, which happens to have a higher transmit power. It's also not as good as ASUS' latest consumer wireless routers. As far as I can tell, these APs don't use beamforming, which might spoil the comparison. However, integration with the Balance One web interface is very convenient. All wireless client reports and access point management in one place instead of logging into multiple devices to manage them. Installation is almost "plug and play". One of these, along with Balance One, would be enough to cover my 3,000 square foot home with 2.4GHz. I ended up adding a total of 3 APs around the house where I had Ethernet access, with the Balance One in the middle. That might be an exaggeration, but I wanted to make sure the 5GHz frequency, which doesn't penetrate walls very well, is available in the key rooms. Also, I wanted reliable outdoor coverage and there were a few dead spots without a third AP. In general, I would only recommend them if you are using a Peplink router for integration. Otherwise, there are reliable, cheaper options like Apple and ASUS routers in AP mode that seem to have better WiFi performance.
