Price / Performance Top - small compromises

The scope of supply is clearly: There are only the instrument. More you also do not need. Unfortunately, I could not connect to the device via WPS with the Nighthawk X4 R7500 - both devices flashed merrily to himself, to 2 minutes to. Multiple attempts Factory reset and relocation brought no improvement. (When EX6200 WPS worked against it easily, so it can not be the router or an operator error)

As a minor shortcoming can the Web UI, respectively. After WPS failed I wanted the whole quickly accomplish with your smartphone - but the UI is relatively unfriendly towards smartphones (Windows Phone, in this case) ... It was only when I took the notebook, it then works fine.

The device has a hardware switch to the operation mode between "Extender" and "Acesspoint" switch. That's relatively comfortable and works wonderfully.

The measured data throughput I want to set only "relative" values, because the WLAN with us anyway is not the "Burner".
Compared to a direct connection with the Nighthawk I could achieve the following values:

At 45% signal strength between Extender and router: ~ 60% of WLAN-speed (of course, is not surprising - there are then at least 2 wireless connections) If the notebook is connected via Ethernet with the Extender, the value is relatively the same as in Notebook installed wireless adapter. But it is, after all, not a "WLAN-amplifier" but just one (Range) Extender - it can only "come out" what's pure.

Although it was criticized in other reviews: I found the fact that the Extender is (by default) a separate SSID are as enjoyable. So you can on the smart phone or tablet easily tell with which access point you are currently connected. Change networks depending of signal strength to do most devices anyway - why should I "mask" 2 different access point with the same SSID so)?

I think at this price you can not go wrong. Who mainly surfs and an Internet connection
