Hello Ben, So far there have not been any tests with other access points from other vendors. Our signal booster has auto throttle ability to automatically adjust the mW output and db gain for the access point it is working with. For lower powered access points you will probably see more of an improvement then with higher powered access points. To my knowledge, as long as the access point uses a RP-TNC connector it should work with our signal booster.
