The installation is simple, this is the same process to install nimporte which router. (By installing the CD and connecting cable (supplied). Right now we use a Netgear router N-series for the first floor of our apartment with a Wi-Fi extender upstairs. There are several computers connected to bottom, and Wi-Fi works well in any home. Our old system wasnt perfect but it still works better than this router that has many problems with the Apple Air Play system while N-Series works well. I think this router is not bad for a house that na is a computer, but if you have more-or several devices connected at the same time-like videos consoles; it is not as effective. In this case, the connection becomes intermittent which becomes very frustrating. We can optimize media performance using Beam Forming technology but unable to test this feature I can not say if it works properly or not. With this router, I have not problems of connections but performance varies depending on the distance of the connected devices (though our apartment is not large).
Conclusion: average for a cheap router. I mattendais better.
