Works... mostly

Amped Wireless SR300 High Power Wireless-N Smart Repeater and Range Extender
Amped Wireless SR300 High Power Wireless-N Smart Repeater and Range Extender

Pros: I bought this to serve as a repeater of our house's main wifi signal to my office in a nearby outbuilding. It does work for this purpose most of the time.

Cons: Apparently I've been spoiled by our primary router (a Netgear) which is so reliable and I have to think about so infrequently that I actually forgot how to login to its admin interface. In contrast, this Amped router will work great for a few days, then it craps out in some way or another. Like it will start occasionally dropping the connection to my laptop which is a mere three feet away, wreaking havoc on my SSH sessions. Its DNS relay service (which it forcibly injects via DHCP) will stop resolving, and all hostname lookups will timeout. Or something else. Rebooting fixes it, but that's not a solution I'm pleased with. I will not be buying this company's stuff again.
