Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Great box. The setup can be confusing. Use the utility on the CD to discover it, or plug your laptop straight into the ethernet cable (no switch in between) into the power/ethernet adapater, or try browsing for the SSID or URL (4 ways to hit it).
Try various channels in the wireless setup for finding the best performance: try 3, 7, 11 as 'preferred'.
You can run the ethernet/power cable 300'. I ran 100' with no issue.
The two external antennas are omni, but the internal receive (which talks with your hotspot/base) is unidirectional: face the logo on the main body towards your main wireless (the one you are trying to extend) - so you get the best reception.
