Bought 7 of these parts in the last year. Although they're a few years old, they're still great for building cheap mesh networks. The default firmware is useless as it is not updated. However, if you have experience installing custom firmware on routers, you can turn it into a very capable router. There is a good online guide for this, a simple web search should provide results. Reliable router with reasonable Wi-Fi speeds, no performance issues with 6-8 wireless clients connected.
