Netis WF2419 300Mbps Wireless N Router (WF2419)

I have not had luck with another brand (TP-Link), which works fine for a couple of months, then stops working. I gave this brand a try, and so far this thing works way better, and it is also much cheaper to top it off. I just use it as an access point which is plugged into an ethernet cable where I have bad wifi coverage, in order to add some wifi coverage in my house, using a different SSID in that area. This is a better way of doing it versus setting it up as a wifi repeater, because the speed is faster when it is connected to a cable, versus connecting it wirelessly to a different wifi access point. The only con with this device is the instructions that came with it are extremely basic, so there is a certain amount of playing around with settings. But the web admin page is pretty much self explanatory and this is is no easier or harder to set up than any other competing brand of access point. If you've done it before, you can do it again. Strangely, if you just buy an "access point" product, you'd typically pay about $100 for the product. This item has that feature built in, just select bridge mode instead of router mode, and tell it to use the antenna as an access point and you have the same thing. As an added benefit, it has a little 4 port 10/100 Mb switch on it. Which is an odd speed, being that its wireless supports 300 Mb. I understand this items comes in a different version with a gigabit speed switch on it, if that is of any concern. As my internet is slower than 100 Mb, this is obviously of no concern to me at this price point.

I bought this for my brother-in-law. The last router he had that died after less than two years. He's not a power user so I was looking for a cheaper solution. For the price, this little router looks like it can do as much as some +$100 available. I think this can even be set up as an access point.I did not see the ability to set up a guest network if that is something you need, but I admit I got it set up without too much exploration. I was able to get it all set up at my house, box it back up, deliver it and have him plug it in and everything worked seamlessly. It may not be able to handle a house full of power users that are streaming and gaming, but this isn't a high end router.I will probably order another one to have as a spare router.

This is a great little product for the money. I have setup 2 of these as wireless repeaters and they work well. No issues at all which is an anomaly with network equipment at such a low price.--A note for setting this up as a repeater-- Make sure that you setup this router to a different IP on the same subnet as your primary wireless router. IE, if your router is accessed at 192.168.2.1, set this router at something like 192.168.2.100. This way you can still access the router interface when it has been switched to repeater mode.My only complaint would be that when the product is set to repeater mode, there is no option (that I have located) to change the wireless channel. I would prefer when set in repeater mode, their was an option to change the wifi channel to avoid overlapp. IE, main router on channel 11, and the repeater on channel 6.

so far so good. i have had it for about an hour and set up was very easy. took about 10 minutes to setup as an access point no wiring needed. the manual doesnt show much in the way of help but its very simple once you find the right settings. we put this in our bedroom on the far end of the house to boost the signal on that side of the property. everyone reviewing this product said they had a very hard time setting it up but if you are a little familiar with router configurations its straight forward. will update this review as we use it and test it in various areas but so far so good

I've had this for a little over a month, and haven't had any problems or dropouts with it. I decided to give it a try despite the lack of information & reviews I could find on this product since the price was right. It has been a solid little router with more features than I expected.Range:My setup has the router located in an upstairs room against the front wall of my duplex. The range covers the entire duplex no problem, and is even reasonable to 40 feet into our backyard. For a cheap little guy, this was beyond my expectations.Features:It has reasonable features, especially for a cheap guy. It has the hooks for VPN (unlike many cheap routers) among other things like multiple SSIDs that can isolate the WAN from LAN. When I got the router I did a firmware update, which made the user interface easier to use. I'd suggest doing this.

I live in an area with a lot of different Wi-Fi APs at neighbors homes. This router could not handle the interference and kept dropping its Wi-Fi signal. I tried manually choosing the best channel and also let it auto select. I tried upgrading and even down grading the firmware and still no luck. I returned the device and wasted a lot of time on it, yet I was also glad to learn this router came from China with back doors to access it already programmed in it. Well that would explain why it was so cheap.

Have reliably used these units for several years. Web interface can be somewhat clunky, but the ability to bridge, gate, repeat, WISP, WDS, etc....it's capability is wonderful. Definitely something you want to immediately update to current firmware on before really getting into the setup, but what Netgear/Belkin/Linksys doesn't require the same thing. The fact that full iproute/ipconfig features are available, instead of locked out/ignored, gives it a lot of versatility when extending an intranet within commercial facilities.

i absolutely like this product.....ive had the same router since 2009 and it even changed owners for 8 months then i got back and it was still fine now its 2019 and still doing ok...im getting a new one soon and give my old one to my nephew
