I started out with a Netgear WN 3000 RP which I used for more than a year. The Netgear extender constantly dropped connections and seemed to need a reboot every couple of days. I tinkered with it using different security levels and it never improved. Often the reboot wouldn't work and it wouldn't reconnect unless my main router also needed to be rebooted. I have a significant number of devices connected to wireless including an iPod, iPhone, and visitor smartphones. The reboots simply became more than inconvenient. They were extremely frustrating.It has now been a week since installation and I have not had a single dropped connection on any device. It is working perfectly! The setup was quick and easy. The touch screen made it straightforward and the setup process effectively did all the work for me. I have not noticed any degradation in speed between the main router and the extender. I have had no problems playing video clips. I'm sure there is some speed reduction but given my pattern of usage, I have not seen any problems.A bit pricey but I couldn't be happier so far. 

Question: Is the unit easy to configure?
Answer: The setup was quick and easy
