Securifi Almond WiFi Router / Range Extender

We installed a Securifi Almond router and range extender on the main floor of our house a few months back and it's been working great thus far. Our main router is upstairs, tucked into the corner of our crowded office, and the Almond, operating as a range extender, has allowed us to propagate our signal further throughout the house. The nice thing is that it allows for the use of the same username and password that we use for the main router (and this is optional, as you can set whatever username/password you choose). Note that if you do choose that route, you will have two seemingly identical choices in your list of wifi connection points, though they'll have different MAC addresses, which is how I tell them apart, having noted those at some point during the process. Also, the setup really was just a few minutes, as noted in their promotional stuff, though that doesn't account for the additional time I spent playing around with it later just for my own edification.
