So far so good

So far so good. Those who wrote that the installation was too complicated, well I don't know what to say about that. If it was too difficult, maybe they should have consulted with help. I've worked in IT for 10 years, specifically in networking, and I programmed a Cisco enterprise-class wireless network from the command line, so it was very easy. The settings are intuitive and easy to set up. Use it to broadcast wirelessly to a rec room in my garage. Previously, I couldn't make a connection that even remotely resembled anything stable. After installation, it took me about 30 minutes to assemble and mount on the wall, I had a reliable connection. It's even better than renting a wireless router from my ISP at my main house. Where I couldn't stay connected before, I've been streaming Netflix in HD with no hiccups. For those who claim it can't save settings, note that most high-end networking devices come in two configurations. It's not a higher level, of course, but it works the same way. There is a working configuration and a saved configuration. This should basically help with setup. When you make and apply UI changes, they are in a working configuration. When you click Apply, the settings take effect immediately. If you disconnect with an incorrect configuration, power cycle the device to load the saved configuration so you can return to it before making changes. Once you're happy with a well-working configuration, navigate to the top of the UI page where you'll see a message that your changes have been saved. Click here to save the current configuration as saved. If you now switch on the device, the settings will be saved.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
