Adding More Ports To My Home Wireless Router

More USB ports are always a plus.

Excellent router that covers my whole home and all my wireless products.

I love my Synology router but I needed a little more coverage throughout my home. Adding this to my network has made a big difference and I’m thinking of getting one more to ensure I’ve got good coverage in my back yard.

Used this actually as a wireless extender to existing router that needed some hard wired ports that were in a place that running cables back to existing router were not really feasible. Easy setup, fast and working great.

my home office was at far end of the house from the cable router - no issues now. Love the extra ethernet ports on the satellite.

No-Brainer unmanaged switch - plug and play - adds 7 more ports to a home router with no effort. Good value. TT

I bought this for home use. I suppose I would be a router enthusiast but for the performance and features I wanted, this was the best price I found. I was able to set up a 802.3ad bond to my cable modem and enable Ipv6 prefix delegation without any issues. This is not a good router choice if you're a networking novice. If you can make a router yourself with iptables and dnsmasq, you will have no issue using this. Be aware of the internal port configuration and the bandwidth limitations that brings. Depending on your needs, like mine, this might not matter beyond what ports you pick. The last 4 ports are directly connected to the router IC but the previous 8 go through a switch fabric before connecting to the router IC. The support forums are quite helpful. My only real annoyance so far is its CLI is somewhat limited in configuring more advanced firewall/iptables rules.

Wanted a little more control over my wireless infrastructure at home and this gave it to me. Works really well, looking forward to adding cameras in the near future.

specially for adding things to my rig, all the ports are easily accessible.

I use this product to support a home video security system. I have 5 wireless G videocameras streaming live video from throughout my home. This is a budget setup and this router fit the bill perfectly. The router is constantly running at near wireless capacity as far as throughput. I use it on WPA2 b/g/n without issues. I gave it 5 stars because considering the cost and the benefits, I believe it is 5 stars. If this cost more, it would be 3 stars.
