    Extollo Lan Socket 1500

    In the absence of data, I'll settle for anecdotes. Anyone with experience of using this product? Any links to reviews other than the CNet one?

    Extollo Lan Socket 1500

    I've been reading the site and waiting for AV2 MIMO devices from TP-LINK for 16 months or so. They were originally expected in 2014 Q3.
