I bought one for the crappy Modem I my mother got from her ISP around 7 years ago which had really poor signal strength, and well, this one was a really cheap router that felt like a toy (plastic body and very light) and had an antherna longer than the router itself... I was able to get three signal bars around 50-55mts from it without any issues, and up to now I haven't had any issues using it. The second one was purchased for my friend, this was a wall-breaker router with three anthenas (I was helping him move, he lives in a town near the city I live and I was just saving him the time to come to the city and buy the router), he knows about networks too, and well, We were able to get nice signal even around 60mtrs away from the house with no apparent problems.

yay for the connection capabilities but wondering why that speaker and why the hell you need an Android device to set it.... Like, being ABLE to set with one instead of requiring one makes sense, but like, any router can be set via that settings IP page, can't that one too (or they just didn't put it on the article)?

FromChinaWithLove, 18 Aug 2015I'm sorry. But, what the heck is the speaker for again? For the integrated Karaoke feature.
