Pros and cons

According to our access point expert

A dual-band access point has 2 separate WiFi networks to connect devices to.
This access point also functions as a repeater, wireless bridge and WiFi adapter.
With the external WiFi antennas, you can target the WiFi signal more precisely.
The access point only has 1 network port to connect to your router.

Description

Create a new wireless network on places that aren't covered by the WiFi range of your router, with the Linksys WAP300N dual-band access point. You can browse the Internet with your laptop, tablet, or smartphone from your attic or basement for example, with a maximum wireless speed of 150Mbps. Besides a wireless access point, the WAP300N is also suitable as a WiFi repeater/ range extender, wireless bridge, or WiFi adapter.

Stronger signal thanks to the Linksys WAP300N

very easy and fast configuration
good coverage
price
Adjusting 2 access points takes a little longer

This Linksys WAP300N was purchased to strengthen the WiFi signal in a new-build home. First of all, as already described by many, all praise for the speed and delivery method of coolblue, with an extra compliment for the nice design of the packaging. It is noticeable; everything has been thought through.

About the device; is used to reinforce the WiFi signal in a new-build home: the internet provider's modem-router was installed by the provider in the basement where the cable enters the home, but even on the ground floor the WiFi signal was very weak (long live the strict insulation standards today!) However, this device is a real all-rounder, and you can easily indicate during installation what you want to use this device for, i.e. access point, repeater, .....

Unlike a previously used brand of accesspoint, in terms of installation, this WAP300N literally does what is promised by linksys; Plug in the socket, connect to PC, install software and you're done! In less than 10 minutes! With my previous access point (other brand), an IT specialist had to come and adjust the configuration, so with linksys this really takes no effort! The WAP300N automatically detects the most important settings of the network itself; Other than giving the network a name and password, there is no work for the user; Ready in minutes!

The signal strength is good, but not excellent either. However, this may be due to the fact that "new construction", more than to the device itself.

To obtain perfect WiFi coverage on the 1st floor, I installed a 2nd WAP300N there. This configuration was somewhat more difficult than with the 1st device: the software sometimes makes a mistake during installation between the 2 access points. However, this was solved after a few tries, and everything works fine now, with strong coverage on all floors !!

If desired, the device can be conveniently mounted on the wall. Beautiful and sober design, equipped with 2 antennas.

In short; a modest investment for excellent WiFi coverage, extremely fast and easy to configure with the current internet providers in this country, easy to use. Mainly in the way of configuration, this device has a big advantage!

Very satisfied, highly recommended!

Review is 6,8 out of 10.

Good AP but still disappointed.

Easy to install
Choose between 2.4GHz or 5GHz, not at the same time

The reason I went for this model is the dual-band functionality. I have a smartphone that can handle 5GHz, while my laptop only supports 2.4GHz. This AP can handle both but... not at the same time! So you have to choose one of the two, which is very unfortunate. When I set it to 5GHz everything works very fast but I can't connect to all my devices, so I am forced to use the slower 2.4GHz. Apart from this small but still annoying minus, I am very satisfied with the device.

Very easy to set up

very easy to set up
good range
good signal strength
none (not yet discovered)

Was looking for another Wifi extender/repeater. One that chooses the same network settings as the router. It appears that the WAP300N does this automatically for you in the default setting (=access point). Awesome! In addition: signal strength is much more constant (waves less) than that of my KPN Experiabox, measured with inSSIDer.
