I am fully satisfied with the Wireless Extender until now. As the long-term life looks like, I can not say because I have the device only for a few days. But what the alleged configuration issues relate to what some write in her review, I can not confirm. I have carried out the following procedure to configure: - The Repeater with a LAN cable connected to a PC, then open of their own accord a configuration screen - Entered the "SSID and key" of the base station - Confirmed the proposal of the repeater "SSID and key", and connected using the WPS-funtion, which enabled to be connected to Wi-Fi device. Thereupon was already the wireless connection and I just needed close the configuration screen and remove the LAN cable. Simple, I really can not imagine!
