Cheap is expensive, I don't regret my purchase!
- Very stable even in a new building with thick walls
- Full range everywhere and not disruptive because there will be few or no people nearby with WiFi 7
- Nice, nice design with LED that can be switched on and off
- Price, but you get something nice for it
