A friend recommended this to me when she heard that my husband and I were driving each other crazy trying to share my wireless modem. My friend had experienced the same problem with her husband and this saved the day for them. She couldn't say enough great things about it. The PHS300 arrived from the Amazon seller well-packed, and within just a couple of days. It was literally a plug and play experience: unwrap the item, plug it into the wall, plug the USB modem into it. Use Mac's AirPort to find the network, which appeared with no problems. Started up my browser, and was greeted by a request for the password, which is right on the Cradlepoint unit. And both computers were then connected - in less than fifteen minutes (and with no help from my husband. Did I mention my friend is in her 60s? This truly is easy for ANYONE to use.) If you want more details, or to modify certain settings (for instance, modify that start-up password to your own choice), there are great printed instructions included, as well as programming via your browser. Very easy to use. I'd read previous reviews which said to be sure to update the unit's firmware via a download, but my unit shipped with the most current version so that wasn't necessary. Had it been, I was able to find the means to do so easily. The unit works throughout our house. There is no noticeable loss of connection speed. If we shut the computers down and then re-start, we have only to use the AirPort menu to reconnect to the network again; after sleep mode, the computers are "still connected" when we wake them up. We've been really pleased with the PHS300's performance and would recommend it to others wishing to save their marriages. Best money we've ever spent for anything computer-related. :D
