The central purpose of this router is to join foreign WiFi networks and then to share the Internet connection in a separate, "private" WiFi network. This way you can get online to have einbuchen individually without any in hotels, public hotspots or long-distance trains with an access all wireless devices in one go (and for a price).
A special feature of this device is the relatively high data rate, otherwise offer few rivals from the "Pocket League". The adjustable antenna is better than that of many competitors, which often contain only internal, non-adjustable spotlights.
The interface is very simple - who had ever dealing with a Netgear device, which is to find their way the same. However, the speed of the browser interfaces unfortunately not keeping pace with that of the WLAN chips step; the surface is built up at a pace that one with plenty of good will still be described as "leisurely". Partially so slowly that you get with timeouts when you first registered in foreign networks problems. Given the current prices even faster ARM CPUs pennies were saved too much here in my opinion.
The software remembers all once configured access points and calls when a known network automatically recognize the matching settings to.
A disadvantage of the PR2000: It has no built-in battery. It must be supplied by USB or from an external power outlet to operate. He is also a little bulkier than many of its (usually slower) competitors through the built-in power supply.
To perfection the PR2000 also lacks support for common VPN protocols: who is often on the road, will not only bring his equipment usually simple in foreign networks, but also safe. For the router could be a VPN client connection - for example, for company or a VPN service - build and protect all connected devices at one go via VPN. Unfortunately, this feature is not included.
Overall, the PR2000 provides a solid performance at a fair price. The slow user interface and lack of VPN support tarnish the otherwise good impression and a cost evaluation Star.
