Review on πŸ“Ά Foscam FR305 WiFi Wireless 802.11N 300Mbps Router/Repeater with Amplified 2x Range & WPS Button by Nelson Calafell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Anything but the most basic setup requires a lot of knowledge or trial and error, be mindful of your safety.

Pleasant for this price. What is missing is the documentation. Several interesting modes are possible (Universal Repeater, WISP, etc.), but the documentation and online help show that the tech writer is just trying to get out the door at 5am. While playing with it I managed to get network access on a non-wi-fi device, but in doing so I managed to allow unsecured access to my network (although WPS-AES was configured and even required to connect to my network associate). in the first place) and fixing this issue still resulted in other devices in the area choosing this repeater over my main radios and not being able to access it at all. I'm sure this all makes sense to whoever built it, or someone with a degree in wireless networking, but they keep all this useful information and simple examples to themselves.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
