Pros & Cons
Pros
The tp-link app is pretty good and alerts you every time a new device joins the network, and blocking device access is simple and effective. The app is also very easy to use. Easy to set up with a bt super hub 2.
Extends wifi from the ground floor to all areas of my two storey house. Signal is strong enough to reach 2nd floor. Just remember to place them relatively high and clear of obstruction.

What a shame they are so expensive though.
