+ Wi-Fi coverage
+ Stability
+ Speed
+ Regular software updates (as opposed to a well-known cheap TP -.... company.)
+ Desing (Absolutely Brilliant optics - You want to come every time to look at it in the dark :)
+ Mounting (Once Detent he keeps Bombenfest because nothing wobbles)
+ Guest WiFi, connection to a host server to log in if you want to. (Hotspot Telekom Mcdonalds similar)
+ Price (comparable Cisco solutions are much more expensive)
+ WLAN roaming capability (multiple APs transition freely combine)
- No web interface (No drama, there is no other professional solutions.)
- Nothing at all in German translated (Google translator helps more or less rather less.)
- Software does not work for me with AMD processor with Intel but already. (Probably AMD Mondays PC, no idea how this is connected - driver maybe)
- No timing (Perhaps there is still a fix that corrects that)

Software is available from the Internet. Free to download, the link is in the manual and can also be found on Google so.
Software either Windows or Mac, (have heard it goes well with Linux) install. Desperately needs JAVA Did not work without. Who wants to see statistics (download rate, user number, ...) must have a PC or a controller with the software to run permanently. Is necessary even with Raspberry PI (instructions are on the Internet, but the installation takes on the PI for several days.) Launches software, then with a single click in the software opens you a kind web interface, but can only be opened with the software started.
- Access Point Select (He left me with no Found had to, skip this step)
- Choose language (Is US only)
- Choose country
- WLAN name and PW awarded
- Admin Password
After I logged in eigentlichem Web, of course, no AP is found. After much turmoil and grief rumklicken because nothing works, I'm somewhere on the (Add this AP) or come to this. So AP added and in good faith on the gear (symbol for the setting) the AP Configured.
One must first create a WLAN group, then you can assign them to the AP, and he knows all about what to send.
Dominate either English language or by clicking confused and pray: Tip. Both works.
WiFi works, I overjoyed about the scope and quality of the signal. Browser closed, controller off, PC shut down. 5 minutes later Wlan away. AP Lit green, but about every 10 seconds once briefly on.
PC, Contoller a registered Web Interface -> Wifi goes. DAMN! Do I have to run around all the time to your PC or buy extra a more expensive controller? After much trial and error a Raspberry Pi to advocate because I thought you have to make a computer run for it. (If, of course does not work, or installation took loosely over 18 hours, after I've canceled)
Solution: I'm the AP assigned a free IP, subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and IMPORTANT set a Gateway. This was in my case, a Telekom Speedport W700V, which serves only as a modem and splitter, WiFi is turned off at him because he is quite fitted and always bad Wlan supplies. Gateway was in my case, the IP address of my modem router.
So all set and clicked the AP to apply (assume) and already went.
Caution but in choosing the country and manual DB setting in the menu. The US has much higher limits in terms of transmit power as Germany. So make sure that the transmission power corresponding to the country. Use this at your own risk.
Operate him in a house with 3 floors. AP is fixed in the middle of the corridor ceiling. As transmit power limits are set German and I have throughout the house reception. What can infer quality antennas. 1 AP supplies the house without problems, despite concrete ceiling.
Previously used a 30 AP from TP -... with 2 large antennas. Permanent crashes, poor throughput, lack of features, only the service was a little easier.
4 stars because of the lack ease of use for laymen.
Graduation:
Do not fret about bad wireless, but action! Who the challenges mentioned arises, will be delighted by the device.
