" ... I'm amazed at how good of a AP this is for the price, I have two houses on our property with about 300 feet between then, we used to have an RT-66U for the routers at both houses, however we have since then switched to a dedicated router with one of these at each house for AP purposes, and the range on these is fantastic for the price. ... It can penetrate through 5+ walls and into the other house. ... "
