Zero security but easy to use

First: You create a huge security hole. They pair with each other automatically. So if you have an outlet on the street or live in an apartment complex, they will instantly connect to your network in case someone else has one. I would prefer at least one pairing button that has a short window of time. Now that some of the insecurity is gone and you still don't really care about the security of your network, these things are very easy to use. The devices are interchangeable between client or source from your router. You plug them in and plug in an internet cable and they work right away. Speed doesn't seem super fast but better than patchy Wi-Fi so I connected 4 of these for non-essential devices like a solar inverter monitor, Roku TV and a controller and the 4th to the firewall. routers. Yes, the internet can be stolen from me, but at least it's not on the same network as my computer and they have to be physically on my property.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Too stupid
