Edimax CV-7428nS 300Mbps Wireless N300 5-Port Universal Wi-Fi Media Bridge for Smart TV, Blu-ray Players and Gaming Consoles

The product works as advertised and was a breeze to setup, even if you don't have a WPS enabled router. I didn't have a WPS enabled router, so I basically hooked up the bridge to AC power (a USB power cable is also supplied if you want to directly power the bridge via USB on your computer/device), used another computer's Wi-Fi to connect directly to the bridge, accessed the setup page on a web browser, entered my router's SSID and password, then a few minutes later the bridge was up and running giving internet access to all my Ethernet-based devices! So far, the signal and speed on the bridge is excellent and I'm not getting any dropouts or lags. I can't say the same to a similar cheaper Chinese device called the Vonet VAP11G, which was a nightmare to setup and could not get a steady internet connection at all. If you're looking for a bridge that's dead simple to set up and get running, this one is your choice!About the only con I can think of are that the Ethernet cable they supplied with you is pathetically short, like less than 1ft. So you're almost going to have to buy or use your own Ethernet cables. Also, they supply you with a software installation CD, which is strange because you don't even need to use any software other than your web browser to set the bridge up.

Once you get the settings set and the bridge stops dropping off the network, as long as you have no power outages, it works great. However, I marked it to three stars due to the experiences I had:- It was somewhat difficult to set up. Disclaimer- I used a Mac. The auto setup file that you can run by connecting to it wirelessly may work great on a windows machine and the auto find may also work great if your router supports that. However I had to do it the "old fashioned" way through a wires Ethernet connection. The Mac took a fee tries to see the bridge and then I had to tell it to connect to the router six times before it actually connected. No errors in my inputs, it would see the router, start connecting and then just fail. Finally took and worked fine though.- Other major issue: I lost power to it for an unknown amount of time while out of town and when I came back it wasn't connecting to my router. Plugged into it and all the settings were correct, it just couldn't obtain an IP address. Tried a number of different things but eventually had to reset the bridge. Then had the same issues as above.For the price, I was expecting some issues and the equipment I have it connected to can accept occasional down time.If you need a cheap bridge on something not mission-critical and don't mind a little troubleshooting, I recommend this bridge.

I have used, and have been very happy with Edimax products in the past, but this thing is a total piece of garbage. I picked this up to provide wireless signal to a few devices upstairs from my router (other wifi devices including a PS3 get great signal attached to the same TV). When it works, it provides fine signal and relatively good speed, however several times per day the devices attached to it disappear from my network and the WiFi bridge needs to be power cycled. This is super annoying and pretty much renders the device useless. I though perhaps since I was running a NAS and a blue ray player off of it, maybe there was some problem with those devices so instead of returning the bridge I hooked it up to a new PC running windows 8.1, and I had the exact same problem. I can't even connect to the configuration screen without resetting the device and running the setup program again. Edimax customer service has not been helpful, and their website and CD that comes with the bridge is useless. I would not buy this product again, and will probably not buy another edimax device again.

This device works fine for most users. My wireless N router is downstairs in my house, but I have some computers upstairs that need Ethernet (wired) connections. I bought this wireless bridge to meet that need and it works. WPS was a super-simple setup.My only complaint is that it doesn't appear to work well with the DHCP server on my router. Specifically, I tried to set up a DHCP reservation on my router, but this wifi bridge reports all the devices behind it with the same MAC address, so the DHCP reservations don't work. From my router's perspective, there are 5 devices on the wireless network and all of them have the same MAC. This is only an issue if you are a tech nerd (IT Pro) like me and trying to do something very specific. I flashed the latest firmware (v1.20) for this device from the Edimax website hoping that it would fix the issue, but it doesn't.
