Pros

Easy to install and use. No complaints.

Nice compact wifi hub that was needed for my home office application. Works good with my netgear router. Keeps my devices connected with no fuss/ no muss.

Cons

This product is a price of garbage. Do yourself a favour and don't buy this. Settle for something better.
