I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Briefly - 100 megabits over the air can and can work as an access point, repeater, bridge point and wifi network receiver. Three antennas are not for beauty, but for business - 450 megabits are really there. Paired with TP-Link TL-WR941N router as a desktop Internet repeater and receiver, and works stably. Poor wifi speed is treated by changing the channel, the problem of losing connection in repeater mode is treated either with the help of ping watchdog (there is such a function in the firmware, it will restart the point when the ping to the specified node is lost). If something happened to the point in bridge or repeater modes that no devices can connect to it at all and rebooting does not help, you need to reset it to factory settings and manually select the WDS mode (the problem does not appear with WDS2 selected). And even better - change the factory firmware to DD-WRT, and the point starts working as it should and even better. Also, specifically in my case, I got a defective power supply - during operation, a squeak, whistle and hiss were clearly audible. In the replacement under warranty - REFUSAL. The problem was solved by replacing it with a power supply with the same characteristics, from an unnecessary router. After replacing the block, by the way, the wifi speed became higher and more stable.

Pros
  • Transmission speed, range, several modes of operation, the ability to replace the firmware with an alternative from third-party developers
Cons
  • Lack of router mode; the price is higher than that of a router of a similar class, the lack of information in the web interface, firmware glitches
