Excellent, thanks. In for one TP-Link. Will come in handy as a bridge or AP some day, I'm sure.

Reminding myself to order one when I get home. My current router is pretty flakey & drops devices all the time. (And requires rebooting to reconnect.)

This is exactly what my parents have been looking for to extend their wifi from their upstairs office to the main floor living area. Thanks OP!

I don't have either one, but... the Edimax has been around for awhile and gets consistently good reviews online. I briefly googled the TP-Link early this AM during my first cup of coffee (so don't quote me) and thought the results were a little questionable. No specific problems or anything, but maybe it's a model that's not usually sold in the US... something like that. Fwiw, I also noted that the Edimax has separate LAN and WAN ports which could be useful for an extra $5.

So it's possible to "daisy-chain" routers for better signal in areas that are weak??, if so I could defiantly use one..

Same here, I purchased the ASUS WL-330gE from Newegg back in Sept 2011 for around $35. Very compact and works great while traveling especially in hotels.

Here's a review: http://www.wegotserved.com/2011/08/2...d-nano-router/
If I didn't already have 2 routers (still new in the box), I'd buy another.

Yes... The TP-Link one is good/stable enough as a wifi client. I hooked one up for my aunt when she got her new iPad and needed a cheap good router.

These are great for travelers staying in hotels. Most hotels wifi are crap but the wired port in the room is usually much better speed-wise.

I got mine during one of these brief sales plus a rebate. I think the N versions of these mini routers are still to new to be being discounted much (though I notice a rebate on the Asus.) What made the Asus 330 so popular before it was discontinued was that it can be flashed with a version of dd-wrt (though I've never bothered to.) I don't know if its n-band successor can be similarly flashed or if you're stuck with their firmware. Never heard of anyone flashing the Edimax, but I haven't really checked either.

the TP Link one definitely does. if you look in the Application Guide about 1/3 of the way down the page there at the egg you find this:
Quote:
REPEATER MODE
Definition: The TL-WR702N copies and reinforces the existing wireless signal to extend the coverage of the signal. So the network name(SSID) and password don't change. This mode is especially useful for a large space to eliminate signal-blind corners.
Application: Large house, office, warehouse or other spaces where the existing signal is weak.

Yes, that works with the Edimax too. It has a specific setting for that in the software.
