great for price; better than much more expensive routers, IMO.

I wouldn't say I was skeptical about this router before I bought it, but I couldn't find much info on google (compared to other routers), so that intrigued me & gratefully it's turned out to be a great item. Its small size & light weight impress me, for its capabilities. It beats my WNDR3800 in many of my tests & gives my ASUS RT-N66U a run for its money! I put up an external antenna & & higher gain indoor antennas (all omni-directional for suiting my purposes) & this Alfa router did better than those two models from other (and well known) companies. The firmware seems pretty good so far and if you hunt for it, you can find some stuff online that describes some mods. I won't need to try them, though - because I now have excellent coverage over whole property. NOTE: experiences can vary wildly, depending upon your own usage needs (type of walls, trees, omni v. directional antennas, etc., etc.) - and it also depends on what type of antennas you use. The stock ones worked great, but this Alfa router gives me better coverage than those others mentioned when hooking up to same antennas (yes, the wndr3800 is external only antennas, so if it had option for antennas, it would have done better). This Alfa router also beats (so far) my e4200v1, but it also has no external antenna option off the shelf; so, those are things to keep in mind when making your own procurement & installation testing & decisions. Another thing to keep in mind is that my connection to ISP then goes through a VPN service before it goes out to "THE cloud," so that can be another factor that might add different dynamics to signal quality, etc. when comparing your own experiences to mine. Lastly, it's important to note that I don't have many needs for transfers just within LAN, so I am judging speed primarily on basis of connection to WAN speeds, combined with distances, signal strength & these other factors.

Increased range, setup ok

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2013

This router definitely increased the WIFI range over my Apple Airport (older model). Pleased with it so far. The setup took me a while to figure out because my modem happened to stop working and needed to be reset but I did not know that, so I was unable to connect for a while. Without an internet connecdtion, this router resets itself to the default settings if you power it off and back on, so I must have set it up about 6 times before I realized the modem was not communicating. There was no indication in the setup process to check that, so I was beating my head against the wall for a little while.

Once I figured this out it was fine and the router is working well so far.

One awesome router with an awesome price.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2014

This is the best wireless router I have ever bought. The signal is awesome and the LAN and WAN or faster then any other of the high priced routers I have owned. For the price you can't beat it. I have owned tp-link, cisco, and Arris and for the price you get the same or in my opinion a better performance. It pretty much just installed without doing much work besides setting up the passwords and hooking the systems I have up. When my family is home; I have gaming, streaming videos and other computers at the same time and not one has lagged since I installed this router. You can't go wrong with Alfa cards or routers. This will be the brand for all my network needs in the future.

okay, but

Well This item is Okay It settings and controls are above par, however Its range is not overly great. I will be purchasing some Higher Gain antennas to try and improve the range on this item. For 50$ your ISP's router gets about the same amount of range so unless your going to repeat that don't waste the extra money! If there isnt a drastic improvement with higher gain antennas then ill be very unsatisfied however if there is good improvement then ill be back to change my rating!

Great Router

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2013

Good qualty product, easy setup, and the range really is impressive. With the two supplied antennas, you can get a good, usable signal for about 500 yard over typical terrain. With flat, open terrain, I'd guess about half a mile is realistic. If you replace the supplied antennas with a balanced output omnidirectional antenna mast mounted about 20 feet up, neaar a mile would be possible. A good high gain yagi mast mopunted at maybe 30 feet would give you about 1.5 miles average and two miles over ideal terrain. The throughput is quite good as well. A good choice if you have difficult terrain to cover or need to be able to transmit further than the area of a normal two story wood frame home.

I was a little skeptical at first because I had never heard of this brand, but its great! I've had if for about a month or so and haven't had any problems with this router at all and I get signal anywhere in my place. The price is good and the product is great!

Great mutil-use router

I used this to give myself free internet. This also works as a repeater. With it, I was able to pick up my neighbor's signal which was not password protected. I then used it to create my own wifi network to spread around my home.
