Setup of the router is dead simple, just plug-in-play and then have your CAT5 to the WAN. Type in the URL on the side of the router. Then you can configure your router settings. Connection was good enough where if you were in the same room you had a solid connection, but once you go through walls, it starts to degrade. YMMV based on the location of the outlet since a higher outlet will have a better signal.
I first used it as a router since the landlord didn't bother to give us the WiFi Password, but once I reset the router's settings I easily switched the Satechi to a repeater and placed it in the middle of apartment for better WiFi coverage.
In terms of a plug converter, I only used the Europe plug, which works in Brazil. I could charge my laptop and plug in a Satechi Portable Energy Station: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/satechi-portable-energy-station in the USB port.
Only drawback was my laptop charger is similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Zenbook-TaiChi-Power-Adapter/dp/B008U0310S and since there is non-negligible amount of weight on the router, there was some sag. It didn't fall off, but you could see it sag a little since the plugs in the apartment were worn.
Is there a list of compatibility for the other options in other countries?
but it also depends on how they've implemented the US/AUS side. Most that I've seen will 'Hinge' outward and work with chinese outlets.
