Initial feedback:
[1]. Applications and access settings:
To date, the application Android "QRS Mobile" which allows quick setting of 3 different modes (Router, AP / Repeater / Wifi Hotspot) does not work on Galaxy S4 (Android 4.3) but perfectly on a HTC One S (Android 4.1. 1) or a tablet Asus TF101 (Android 4.0.3).
This nest though not crippling Galaxy S4, even without this app you can quickly set the box through internet browsers (under Windows by entering the address bar; in Firefox / Chrome for Android (eg) when entering.) . There a ultra complete configuration interface (suitable for each mode) can do everything (this is less "user friendly" than lapp android, it takes a little zoom in / out, but much more complete)!
[2]. USB port
The USB port is self-powered, one can connect to: a USB key or USB portable hard drive (Note: The limitation on the USB portable disk capacity The power supply does not come from (i tested with WD Passport drives and 1TB 2TB), but obviously the hardware or software of the case (the access time are then endless or disc content is no longer scrutinized).
[2]. Access to files stored on USB storage media:
These are accessible via lapp android or via the Internet browser (windows) (see list of supported file formats). Lapp Since it is possible to stream media content (or to open a file directly without downloading it first) by activating the function of the menu. Okay, now, interfaces are really (too) minimalistic but it works.
For multimedia files, it is even better to enjoy the DLNA / UPnP of the case which troom leads to them through third-party applications on the type Playstore "Controller" (eg. SmartPlay, D-link Digital, Pixel Media Controller, MediaHouse, Bubble UPnP, Skifta, etc.) or "Player" (Ex. Archos Video, VPlayer (+ plugin) Goodplayer, Video (App Samsung), etc.). Note that the app "controller" enable (for the best) to choose the "player" to use (Ex. MX Player, VLC, etc.)
However it is impossible daccéder directly to all types of files from a third-party application or explorer windows !! (See forum dlink US). It seems sagir dune limitation manufacturer (this feature does she not cannibalize other products of the brand?). Anyway this is very unfortunate; a dedicated access port would have been handy.
[3]. Change mode:
To switch of a mode to another (PA-Router / Repeater / Wifi Hotspot), it is a shame to have to disconnect and reconnect the housing (ditto for change storage media on the USB socket, no plug & play so), but this is done without loss of configuration (hopefully!).
[4]. Other settings:
Once disconnected, the case retains its last configuration in memory, but it is also possible to export the settings (conditions uap networks functions, locations, etc.) on file and then import them. Rather essential to a case brought to travel!
I do not fit in all possible settings (rights management to access, restrictions / filters, security, virtual server, logs, statistics, SSID (s), etc.), there are too many (*), but i tested 3 modes configuration "basic" and find nothing wrong, everything works.

[5]. Construction:
The position switch operating modes could have done to be more robust and especially easier to handle.
[6]. Case studies:
1. You are at the hotel (mobile data network with no or low), Navez quun Ethernet cable, and you want to surf the internet with your tablet or smartphone
2. You are on vacation, is near a box of your operator, the mode will allow damplifier the signal for best reception of the open channel available to subscribers (eg. Hotspot.wifi.sfr.fr, orange-wifi, Freewifi Bouygues , etc.)
3. You are at home, and have areas Dombre wifi, the mode signal will broadcast your network at home (same SSID (Network Name =) or different SSID choice)
