What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing states coverage of 100 m² in one feature, while another details field describes coverage as Medium to Large. The 2.4 GHz-only frequency field also sits alongside dual-band claims. Treat coverage and frequency summaries as inconsistent, and confirm the relevant details for your setup. The stated dimensions use a 23.2 cm width despite the feature description giving a compact Φ171.4 × 41 mm form, so check the physical size before choosing a mount. The stated AC1200 total is a combined headline, not a single-band rate. Power adapter is explicitly not included even though the stated contents list includes only the unit, mounting kit and guide.

Customer feedback highlights fairly easy setup, strong signal and coverage, speed and perceived value. Some customers are dissatisfied that a power supply is not included. These impressions are relevant if you want a straightforward Wi-Fi 5 access point, but the reported coverage does not resolve the listing's inconsistent coverage descriptions, and power planning remains necessary.

Customers express dissatisfaction with the lack of an included power supply.
