Cheap Junk that cannot be configured properly!
If I could give this router 0-stars, i would. It is as useless as it is small. It's not that it doesn't work - it's that the documentation makes no sense, and the settings aren't stable. I had several ideas of how to implement using this in my home network, based on its configurability that the sales ad said it could do. NONE worked. It is wi-fi (albeit, with a weak radio), and it is a 2-port wired hub with a USB port. The bad part is, it is not being advertised for what it is, and many features that it is claimed to have are not stable for other applications as stated. I wanted to try and set this up as a Network Print Server, and to do so, I needed to turn the radio off and use it as merely a wired router. Can't do it. I was unable to cease the radio and still access it through the GUI webpage it hosts (at 192.168.8.1). I couldn't remap the router to my LAN (192.168.1.x) either, as it kept the 192.168.8.x convention, regardless of how many times I reset it. If it did take it, I could no longer reach the GUI, and if I managed to reach the GUI, the router stopped working. This same 'hard-coded' 192.168.8.x convention caused an opening in my LAN that I couldn't close! Basically, it was making a hole at that IP that I couldn't stop, and then with it's little built-in radio, I was stuck with it broadcasting my SSID whether I wanted it to or not! I should say, broadcasting A SSID, as it kept kicking out this NEXX SSID that I didn't assign. To top it all off, there was no way to get the thing to stop trying to be the primary Router on my system!From the battles I spent 4-wasted hours on, I came to realize that this is meant to connect to a laptop as a way to become a hotspot for other equipment you might have, and so that you could have a USB passthrough port to connect your USB printer to. This is the ONLY THING I could get it to do right. Everything else was a wash. For the $15 I paid for it, I gave up and tossed it. If you want an actual PRINT-SERVER, pay the $35 and get a TPLINK or something that is actually designed to be a network print server. This thing is a pocket gadget for college kids in a dorm, at best. As for documentation or help in configuring it, forget it. The documentation is useless and missing large chunks of what you need to know - or they don't have it configured properly to start with.
