Conclusion
My experience with Edimax BR-6258n Nano Router was fine but as there is no antenna with router BR-6258n lags in range and speed. Edimax labeled BR-6258n as router but it can also be used as Wireless adapter, Wifi repeater.
The Good

Easy installation
Can use as Router, Wifi adapter, Reapter
The Bad
Performance falls off at long range
