Should have believed negative reviews
So many positive reviews that I didn't believe the problems described in the negative reviews. I bought this unit as a wireless access point for my home which is wired with cat-6 to every room. I use Spectrum ISP giving me about 100 Mbps downloads. My router is an Apple 2016 Airport Extreme. First, there is no out of the box easy setup as an access point. You have to set the unit up to join your wifi network (do not plug in the ethernet cable!). After that is up and running then you have to change to access point mode. Be careful, however, since the device still wants to be a DHCP server. So, after switching to access point mode be sure to turn off the DHCP server. Sadly, after sorting all these details out by myself (no online support and documentation for setting up access point mode), the download speeds were less than 1 Mbps! I tried factory reseting and repeating the whole process hoping to find something I missed, but in the end I continued to get 1 Mbps. Finally, I gave up, boxed it up, and returned the unit. The software looks beautiful. Unfortunately, what's under the hood is more problematic.
