So if you’re looking for a well priced option to get pretty good speeds in a 1-2 story home with a small family of devices this is a great option. 👍
I had a little trouble setting it up. The first time I tried to configure the mode, it didn't seem like it took and the router got stuck saving the configuration. I kept getting "unknown error". This was while trying to access it by connecting directly to an ethernet port from a PC as the instruction said to do. However, I just plugged it into my main router and was able to login to the main router to see the new router's IP address (which it connected to with no problem). Then I just used that IP address from my browser from a PC on the network to login to the new router. Once I did that I had no problem setting up the configuration and it was super fast. Once that was done and I set up my WiFi networks everything worked perfectly. Now it is working correctly as an access point, plugged into the main router by ethernet, with 3 devices plugged into the other ethernet ports and more devices using it as a WiFi connection.
The connection seems better than my old router which is what I was looking for.
All in all, a simple, basic router that works after simple, straight-forward setup.
