I use it in...:Large home
My review is not going to say much different than the other positive reviews here and elsewhere online. So, I'll just speak on my unique experience.
Was interested in this item because I just installed cable company's bundle, and their equipment, as many know, sucks monkey marbles. Didn't have any range problems with my other vendor, so thought nothing of it, until it was gone.
Easy to set up, however, found that it was much easier to set up from my iMac than my laptop PC. The laptop found the device, but kept looking for other networks. But on the iMac, as soon as it found the signal, auto popped Safari and the Netgear setup page. A click here, a keystroke there, done!
Another item to note, but knowing going in, you will lose a bit of bandwidth regardless. Wired at main router 70mbps, wireless at main router 40mpbs, at Extender 15mpbs. My media center is where I needed the extra range, which is another 15-20' away from the Extender. And before installing it, the range to the main router was 1mpbs!! Monkey Marbles indeed!! After the Extender, 12mpbs...TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE!
Hope this helps your buying decision. I highly recommend it!

This D-Link Day and Night DCS-933L wireless surveillance camera features an IR LED that enables night vision up to 15' for clear viewing in dim lighting. The built-in Wi-Fi extender expands your wireless network and helps prevent dead spots.

How many cameras do you need?1-3
I purchased 2 of these cameras after reading the high reviews across the Internet. Unfortunately, I followed the instructions to the letter and the setup wizard was not able to set up these cameras.
Again, while following the instructions, the camera was wired directly to the router (same as PC). The setup software continued spinning and spinning, unable to recognize the device.
However, it did recognize it once (after 6 attempts), then asked to create a password. Entered my "universal" password that would meet any password criteria, then get a popup saying that my password does not meet the "criteria." (It really does). Then it refuses to recognize again.
I do not have another 2 hours to commit to this device. Luckily, returning it IS EASY AS 1-2-3!!

Excited that this is my first dual monitor set up at home. Was sold on the very thin bezel, after going through the IPS, LED, ms, etc. analysis. The bezel is thin, but not as marketed, as many have already pointed out. However, still perfect for my home office use.
Gorgeous, vibrant display colors right out of the box.
While setting up, hated the fact that LG used a brick format on the inputs, again as many have pointed out already. Had to rearrange my entire power strip setup to accommodate the two monitors.
Also, already noted the flimsy stands. While it doesn't take any pressure to access the menu and power buttons, I live in CA, WE HAVE EARTHQUAKES. So, since I knew this feature before hand, I bought a highly rated dual mon stand from Planar and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.
But overall, very satisfied with the product and the research leading up to its purchase. Hope this helps you as well!
