With a gigabit uplink to your home network instead of the 100Mbps links most home APs use, it is great for high-bandwidth connections to wired systems such as home media servers. It has great range, great security, and the web interface is user-friendly. The latest firmware update on their web site provided bugfixes for some issues I had with it (as it shipped with older firmware) and the firmware was straightforward to install through the web interface. The device also has a variety of modes including wireless repeater mode in case you want to extend your wireless network (and comes shipped in this mode by default) It is a swiss army knife of wireless bridges, and for the price, a completely great value. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. EnGenius WAP By Olga Brooks Very easy install. When configuring EnGenius device you have the option of: Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS Bridge or Repeater. I configured the device as a Access Point. Recieved message "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network ....". To resolve this issue do the following on your computer: 1. right-click Wireless Network Connection icon 2. click "View Available Wireless Networks" 3. highlight 4. under "Related Tasks", click "Change Advanced Settings" 5. click "Wireless Network" 6. under "Preferred networks", click 7. click "Properties" 8. click "Authentication" tab 9. uncheck "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" Also, log into EnGenius device and verify "IEEE 802.1x" is unchecked: select "Security", then click "Wireless". 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Amazing Product! By D. Knight I purchased this because I needed to extend my 802.11n wireless network range to my workshop about 270 feet away from my router. I could get a signal at the edge of the workshop but not really usable. After a lot of research I decided on this product. It literally took about 5 min to configure this as a repeater. The interface is extremely simple and really does not require much advanced configuration even though it is available. After configuring I was able to connect to my network and browse at surprisingly fast speeds. I have not done actual benchmarks but I can tell you it is faster then I expected it to be. If you need a repeater to expand the range of your 802.11n network look no further you have found the device you need. See all 10 customer reviews...
