Personally, I use it as a bridge with an AP. And not out of whim, but rather it suited my case better. I can say that I restart it rarely, although it’s not tragic; it takes a few seconds, and it’s no big deal. Mainly, if it is exposed to heat, it needs it, as in my case; the other one that is inside the house, I do it once every few months (4-6 months, silly things). I’m not saying it’s perfect, but with a little goodwill, it can pleasantly surprise you. With 2 such devices and 1 external antenna, these devices synchronize (bridge) and transmit normally at a distance of 25-30 meters, in an open space with obstacles and many interferences. Surely, if I were waiting with 1 device and the router to do such work and have everything wireless (even the router), I would probably have to turn to something more expensive. It is an honest little device, very economical, and I recommend it without reservation.
