Pros: Package arrived very quickly, as normal for newegg. Easy to set-up and configure as a router. Setting up as an access point takes a little knowledge.

Cons: Signal strength on 2.4ghz was 3 bars with the router sitting next to the laptop, dropped to 1 bar 3 feet away, could not detect it from 20 feet. 5ghz was also very weak. I tried channels 1, 6, and 11, same result. Pretty sure this unit has a bad internal antenna connection and is not usable as is.

Overall Review: Looks like I got a lemon. Got this at a great price, so I suspect the RMA shipping will cost most of what I paid, so that may be out as a solution. Hoping the manufacturer will send a replacement without me having to return this one. Support ticket open ....
