I had a tough time getting this unit set up. Otherwise, it seems to work well. However, when I powered down last night due to a storm passing through the unit would not connect the first time so I had to power it down again. I also am having trouble hooking my Ambient Weather Station into wifi along with an extender.

I bought this hoping it would give me good internet and have good coverage. Yeah it doesn’t, at least not for me, it’s coverage is very small and it’s speeds aren’t very good. Pretty disappointed, but at least it works somewhat.

I needed a new router when my old Asus one went out. Picked up the nighthawk and it saved my butt. Got up in running in about 10 minutes and internet worked smooth again.
