Securifi Almond Touchscreen Wireless N300 Router / Range Extender (3 Minute Setup)

Pros: -Easy setup as range extender -Easy set up as router -Simple Plug-N-Play for the most part -Fun to play with

Cons: No power off switch but when you unplug and plug it back in, it leaves off exactly how you left it. So nothing too bad.

Overall Review: I use this thing at work to create my own internet router using their internet jacks. Probably not supposed to do this but whatever. They should've told me the wireless password. This tool makes it easy to take things into your own hands.

Pros: - The easiest piece of tech equipment I have ever set up. - The touch screen is the best. - Remember to change your default user & password from admin/admin. - Needed the range extender to get to my son's room & it worked great.

Cons: None I can think of.

Pros: Installed as a range extender. Extremely easy to move from location to location to use or demonstrate. Finds the wireless access points, you pick the one you want, enter the password if any, done. Allows for plug in of a switch so you can add whatever else you want.

Cons: Maybe instructions could be more extensive for those people who must know the how & why.

Overall Review: The harder you think about what you're doing, the more difficult the setup will be. The existing network will have a name and probably a password. If you know those, you can setup this device as a range extender. The extender is a new access point so it will have a name and a password too. They can be the same, but don't have to be. Setup is really as simple as portrayed on line. After setup, you can go to the STATUS window and get the assigned IP address, MAC and other details. Use your browser to look at or configure from a browser interface.

Pros: Easy quick set-up Good signal Good UI

Cons: Creates new wireless network which makes it difficult to connect to other computers on your existing network.

Overall Review: I can only speak about the almond's ability as a repeater as I have not used it as a stand-alone router. Very easy set-up and interface. Connected to my netgear router with ease. Creates a second wireless network with the name almond attached to the end. Although this is fine for phones/tablets/DVRs etc. it makes it difficult for computers to connect to others in the existing network. Furtunately I did not need it for my laptop connection.

Pros: Dummy-proof set up, built in clock

Cons: Only average range

Overall Review: Just what i needed. Quick and easy to set up and any device connects easily including wireless printers. Range not great, but it is fine for what it is needed for.

Pros: It is VERY easy to set up as and provided a significant boost in my house to the 2nd level where my signal had been poor as compared to the level where the router is situated.

Cons: Did not succeed in using it as a double extender to reach the distance I needed to the 3rd level.

Pros: WHen connected as a range extender it functions as it was advertised.

Cons: When the main router resets the IP addresses the Almond will not reconnect, it must be reconfigered as an original installation in order for it to obtain the new IP address.

Pros: 1. very small 2. great "wow" factor 3. easy to get working (at least as a Wi-Fi extender)

Cons: The firmware for the unit you purchase may be too old for it to do updates directly via the internet, in which case you have to go to the Securifi website, download the latest firmware, and install it via the unit's web interface (requires only pointing the web interface to the downloaded file - takes about a minute, so it's actually pretty painless)

Overall Review: I am using the Almond as a Wi-Fi extender, and analysis software indicates it has doubled the signal strength in the part of the house where I needed it. The new firmware should allow updates directly from the internet. It definitely allows setting the SSID to be anything you want, including the same SSID as your wireless access point (the wireless tab on the unit's display allows you to change the SSID). In addition to interface improvements, the new firmware includes beta versions for time sync and weather, both of which worked perfectly for me. Initial setup was less than 5 minutes, and the firmware update in my case took about another 15. That's about as easy as it gets.
