Conclusion
The Netis WF2415 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router did a really good job in our tests, and far better than I would have expected from it when first unpacking it. It looks very basic and comes with basic functions, but it does what it does great. Sometimes less is more, especially if you don’t need the rest.
The WF2415 doesn’t come with any USB ports to attach storage directly nor can you replace the antennas – so if those are two things that you’re looking for, this isn’t the right choice. But if that shouldn’t bother you, the WF2415 could be a solid choice.
There really isn’t any need to pay a lot for a brand new AC router with USB 3.0 ports, download manager and more when one doesn’t need it. If your wireless devices only use the N band anyway, then the AC speeds won’t be of any benefit.
The user interface is very easy and straight forward – and filled with tips to help you create your setup. You might click a couple of times to find what you’re looking for the first times, but after a short while everything will seem logic.
The WF2415 wasn’t so great when moving it far away, but on medium to small distances it did great. The RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports also performed top and very close to the theoretical maximum
Pros
- Easy to use
- Good transfer speeds
- Uni-directional wall mountable
- Good Price
Cons
- Antennas not detachable
Neutral
- No USB ports
“If you are on the lookout for a basic router that performs great, then you might as well pick up a Netis WF2415.”
