Unusable to use, bad product.

Poor communication quality and amazingly limited device capabilities. Why it was impossible to let the user choose a channel is completely incomprehensible. Do not take it under any circumstances. Personally, I will return.

 Added screenshots. On the first one, where there are a lot of DUPs - through the device, on the second - the original "amplified" Wi-Fi, where, as we see, there are no DUPs.

Pros

It's nice that the outlet doesn't disappear. Convenient to set up.

Cons

Firstly, this device cannot relay WiFi over another channel! This means that you will conflict with the existing WiFi network, you will be interfered with and you will interfere. Secondly, for some reason, the quality of communication degrades, despite an excellent signal: connections are torn, ping shows more than 40% loss. Partially cured by reboot. Thirdly, at some point it may stop issuing an IP address, and not to everyone, but only to some. It was not possible to see any regularity. Again, we treat it with a reboot.

Pros: Beautiful, compact, powerful, does not take up an outlet. Some cons: Unstable work on the official firmware.
