Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I felt obliged to write a review since there are some bad reviews of this product. Full disclosure, I've been in IT for 25 years so I generally know my way around technology. I base my 'ease of setup' on if I would be able to walk my mother-in-law through the setup over the phone. This product is brain dead simple to configure and get going if you have a WPS capable router. You simply push the WPS button on your router then push the button on the N300. Do this in the same room to ensure a strong signal. Once you get the green light on the N300, you're good to go and can upnlug it and move it to where you need. As for the range extending capabilities, my access point is on the second floor of our 3 story house (3200 square feet). The extender is on the first floor with the hope of improving wifi to the TV and the family room. I ran a speed test from my laptop. Prior to the N300 it got 50mbs/10mbs (down/up). With the N300, the laptop got 100mbs/24mbs. For the price, this is a good solution and much more cost effective than the mesh network systems. I'll be ordering a second N300 to put in the master bedroom. The speed isn't needed but the geek in me can't pass up a faster connection for the small cost of these extenders.
