Product Review - ASUS EA-N66 Dual-Band Wireless-N900

I purchased this Access point/Repeater/Ethernet Adapter exactly a month ago. I picked it up off newegg.com refurbished for the very reasonable price of $30. After it was already on it's way I decided to read the reviews on this item: It didn't fare to well.  Many people were complaining that they had to reset it a lot due to losing connectivity to the net. I regretted not reading the reviews prior to actually purchasing it, I'm a fan of ASUS products and have had good experiences with their products and their customer service.

On to the item in question; I hooked this up as a repeater to extend our WiFi throughout the rest of the house. So, I can't really speak to the other applications of this device. It works great!  It brought my signal up to max strength throughout the rest of the house and out to the road in front of my house as well. I have not had to reset it since it was installed a month ago.

Programming and set up, was extremely easy.  I hooked it up to my PC, told it which wireless network I wanted to extend, that I wanted it to be a repeater.  Then I unhooked it, took it to a spot where the signal was at two bars of strength, plugged it into the wall, and set it on a shelf. Easy as it gets! It has a blue light bar that is visible as you walk by that if its on and solid means everything is working fine, flashing indicates there is an issue and no light means it's off. 

This was a great buy especially for a refurbished item.  I had to get the manual from the Asus website and I also did not receive the original box; so if these are a big deal to you I would suggest you buy this item new.
