Review
Very dynamic and useful in a portable application. Not recommended as a full time wireless AP or full time router. In 24/7 operation this unit gets very hot and will eventually fail. This unit is useful for temporary or portable use such as using as a wireless client on a laptop or as an adhoc AP or router when on the go.
Pros: Small, functional, many modes of operation.
Cons: Cooks itself to death in 24/7 operation after about 2 yrs of service.
