While a great device

I've had the EAP300 running for a few days now and while its setting is a bit annoying (default 192.168.1.1, that's where my router is) after I set a dynamic IP address for it, everything worked fine. It's attractive, comes with a power supply (if you don't have POE, which I don't) and a mounting ring with drywall screws and anchors. Tip: To factory reset your device, press the wrench button at the top for more than 10 seconds. (I didn't see this in the documentation but looked it up online.) I

Great WAP for the price

There are not enough online reviews for this product but the few that are are very informative. At first it looks like a smoke alarm, but it's about 30% larger in every way. It can pass as a smoke alarm if you turn off the electric blue lights that illuminate when it's on (the UI can turn off one or all 3 lights). Installation is as easy as installing a smoke alarm, provided you've already connected an Ethernet cable to the ceiling. I've installed several of these in different client locationsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far

  • Clarity

Great for hotels. on wireless access points

This router worked great for the first few months, but now it has to be restarted quite often. Please note that we are using it in a hotel so there are many people using it so this might be the case. If you are going to use this for your home then it is a great product as the distance it can travel is very large. It's a little tricky to set up, but if you or someone you know is experienced with computers and networking, this should be very easy to use. In general, it's a good product when usedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Unstable on computers and accessories

Works well for a few hours, sometimes during the day (if you don't use it often), but then becomes unresponsive and requires a reboot. It works fine without encryption, so I suspect it's an encryption issue. Most probably use WPS, which might explain the overall positive reviews, but I prefer a more secure connection. i give it back I bought another brand that has 10000 feet. Glaze. This product works great on my system with my hardware and has the same range. I checked other blogs and thisโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance

Disappointed with what could have been a fantastic product.

When I originally bought them I bought them for a friend of mine and installed them in his shop and they worked just great. So when it came time to upgrade the network in my house, I decided I would definitely go back to them. The only problem is that they are really terrible in my house. First of all, there is nothing special in my house - jammers, competing Wi-Fi signals, etc. got 30 Mbps from a 100 Mbps connection that I paid for, I was shocked, of course. Still not believing it was anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Always liked

  • Style 90

If you need security, look elsewhere.

A star means I hate that and here's why. The manual on the DVD doesn't match the firmware, which is never fun. Downloaded the new version of the manual. It was harder to set up than other routers, but not that much harder. You must set up your computer with a static IP address to access the router. The nightmare came when I was trying to set up security on the router and it just wasn't working. One would say that security is established, but that is not the case. I tried several differentโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Appearance

I'm an IT professional and I use it constantly for SMEs and to increase the range in private households. Excellent coverage and fantastic distance. Best of all, they are pre-programmed and customized. never needed a reboot. I have dozens of these devices that I have hosted for over 18 months with no errors. It is highly recommended that most EnGenius products use them for many years. Sometimes even better than UBiquity products, half the price and easier to program. Reusable: Spend a fewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • A few little things
