Review: Easy set up, works great! - Works great for what we needed. I needed to hook up a computer to ethernet and didn't want to run a cable throughout the house. This was perfect. It connects to the houses WiFi and sends out its own, separate WiFi signal and you can hook up an ethernet cable to it and receive internet. The signal it sends out is separate from the signal it receives (has a different name and such). The speed seems to be just as fast as our fiber modem in the living room. No issues with this at all. Super easy to set up and been using it for over a year now.
Review: Does what it claims, solved a problem. - I gave it five stars because it does exactly what it claims and what I needed it to do—it allowed me to hook up an older printer that only had insecure WPS for WiFi to a modern WiFi 6 network without WPS. I do wish there was a way to turn off the range extender feature completely, but for those complaining about this device being a range extender, let me explain why it kind of has to be. If they removed the range extender function from it, there would be no way for you to configure the device from a phone unless they also added Bluetooth. It has to transmit either over WiFi or Bluetooth, or you would not be able to log in to the device from a phone. A few of us still have Ethernet capable laptops, but most people do not, so they need a wireless connectivity option. Bluetooth would solve it but would add cost. I did hide the networks and after hiding them, technically it is still broadcasting but any interference seems to be minimal because none of my nearby WiFi devices saw any loss in connectivity. I suppose your mileage may very. Now, what I used it for. We have an old Canon Pro-100 series printer. Old but still functions well, so we did not want to replace it. It's in a room with a brand new WiFi access point in the ceiling, but no Ethernet jacks. With our old Netgear WiFi equipment, this printer was available as a network printer on the 2.4 GHz band configured via WPS. When that netgear equipment started to fail, I switched to a TP-Link Omada system. TP-Link Omada does not offer WPS WiFi configuration because quite frankly, it's insecure and should never have been part of WiFi in the first place. The printer does have a 10/100 Ethernet jack. With this device, I was able to configure it to connect to the new 5GHz WiFi access point and run a Cat6 patch cable from this device to the printer. Everything on our home network that needs to use it was able to discover it via Bonjour protocol and can print using it. Thus, this device saved us from needing to buy a new color printer just because we updated our WiFi network. And the setup was extremely easy. The only possibly confusing part was hiding the range extender SSIDs which we do not need. So for that, I give it 5 stars.

**Q: How do i put the bostrend ac1200 in "advanced mode".  i don't see how to change the wifi channel, static ip, etc.  i have emailed you, and no reply.**
A: The BrosTrend is not a full fledged router. It's a repeater with very limited administration functions, ie. reset password, f/w update, etc. Managing ip addresses (static/dynamic ranges) are done on your router or access point. The easiest way to pair AC1200 to your router is by pressing the 'WPS' buttons on both router and BrosTrend repeater. HTH.  Cheers

**Q: Will this work with a vpn that requires ethrnet connectivity**
A: I use it to connect my wifi internet to an ethernet connection on a Phillips amplifier so I can stream to it and get updates. It works fine. Given all the givens I do not see why not. Just remember since I am not sure about this from your question. This receives wireless and sends it through an ethernet connection, not the other way around.
