the bat. You will likely get yourself locked out of the device trying to set it up. Just reset and try again pondering the logic used in designing this thing. There is definitely a correct order for doing things in the set up, but once you get the logic and get this device running you are going to have an AP and/or repeater that is pretty nice for the money. I have been using a few of these units on my home network as AP's for over a year. They are on 24/7 and they are solid as a rock. I have had a few power outages due to storms and all I have had to do is reset the time. I have found nothing close to the stability of this device at three times the cost. It stays on frequency, with reliable connection and has a strong signal. Auto negotiation downward has not been a problem whatsoever. I just don't experience wireless connectivity issues and i have plenty of wireless gadgets to create more than average interference.

I might also mention that once you set up as a repeater and save the set up the only way to change the settings is to do a reset. Moral of the story is make sure you have it right before you save. If you set up as an AP you can always access the setup menu using the device IP address and your web browser.

I found this device to be very stable, consistently on frequency, with strong wireless signal and very reliable. If you are a computer newbie the set up will beat you up and win, but if you have been playing with home networking devices for a while you will get 'er done and have plenty of bang for your buck.
