As soon as received, immediately tried. I bought his predecessor in May 2013 [...] jen and am still happy. This is two times smaller in all dimensions so about eight times smaller in volume, we do not realize sen on the Amazon site, but in fact the two side by side were reduced or dune impression of a miniature model yet it provides the same excellent performance. Jhabite a former apartment of 160 m2 in the city center (several large carriers and many walls dondes parasites) so that the Wifi is struggling to make its service. I had put the WN3000RP v1 in the living room to serve the equipment difficult to Wifi (some tablets) but also connect the blue ray player with an RJ45 (it works fine).
Installation, always as simple especially if you can use WPS, if you have a box or a router without WPS, fear not, there's no need to have done Polytechnique, the French fashion in demploi well written than enough (oddly only English version is available). Once the setup is, we must find the right location, it is generally recommended to put halfway between the transmitter and place Of Use, actually this beautiful theory does not account for the walls to pass through materials and thickness and it takes a little groping.
Performances, i placed this new WN3000RP beside v1 v2 (which works great) and I went in the dining area with my laptop (rather unfavorable position). With Vistumbler software, I was able to see that the intensity of the signal emitted by the two repeaters is absolutely comparable. Jai then makes ADSL speeds tests on serious well-known sites, alternating the two repeaters several times and at various times of the day, again, the small v2 provides the same excellent results as the big v1 that goes back in its box to make room for the newcomer.
In conclusion, this is an excellent repeater and view the price difference (date 29.99 and 35.99) between the big and the small v1 v2 latter must take the decision. One web interface is a little less polished than the v1 (it's really a technicality within the cosmetics).
