how much do i love it Let me count the routes

I needed wifi in my office which is in a metal building 200 feet from my house. Tried many things, connecting WiFi extenders, cell phone hotspot, hotspot antennas, whatever. Nothing will work. I work in IT, so I was particularly frustrated that I couldn't find a solution. Just when I was about to give up, I came across this product. I read reviews and watched YouTube videos. Because the price was so cheap I figured it wouldn't work somehow, but I figured I'd give it a try anyway. That was ultimately the solution to my problem! The hardest part was deciding which mode to choose. I only bought 1 of these thinking I can still buy one if needed and use the AP/Client mode setting. After reading all the documentation I decided to use it as an extender. I installed it on two connectors of a flag pole at the corner of my house, pointed it towards the building and in minutes I had Wi-Fi in the office. Solid performance! And, even better, I can use the same device to send our Wi-Fi signal to the cottage about 100 feet from our house (we used an extension plug and the signal was weak). Since I installed the CPE510 on a pole, all I have to do is twist the tip of the pole a little and point it at the house. Now we can watch TV and play Xbox Live games. When I have to work in the office, I just push it toward the office. I'm so thankful this product solved my wifi problem AND I don't have to hand in my IT card lol.
