Reviewed by Peter. Review Posted 15/07/2009

Having spent the best part of a day trying to configure a Linksys G router to talk with my Belkin Modem/Router without any success, I was fortunate to come across this range extender in my search.

There are not too many other N range extenders out there and reviews for other extenders all define how poor they are to set up.

Within 15 minutes of opening up the box, it was connected, configured and working perfectly.

The range is great, and now I have full access to the internet and network from my remote computer in the office in the garden.

Couldn't agree more with the other reviews. Great little device, achieves all that it says and not many products give you that!

"Not only are they extenders, but access points, bridges and more."
