I need a router for internet access in other buildings on my property. What feature do I look for?

Unless your buildings are very close to your router, you will be better off running Ethernet cable to each building and then installing individual wifi routers in the buildings. Trying to get a router with a broad range will be very expensive and you will not be able to eliminate dead spots.

To do this vCard the easiest way i know. I run a cable to an access point, my experience using routers as an access point is horrible,especially linksys and cisco. Ubiquiti makes some points that are inexpensive and dependable. I also use switches that let me hardwire printers to the network. Some access points have builtin switches. Depending how far your neighbor is you put an access point in the room closest to them and use a range extender for them to pickup your signal. Btw: a heavier duty access point gives a lot more range. I use a ubiquiti commercial grade and do not need any others in my 2 story house.

sorry-I don't understand your question-this is not a router-don't know how it would do for what you ask about-I suggest a router

If you already have a router, then just download and run the Unifi controller software on a network system, and configure the access points with it, and your set.

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

Unfortunately, we have a wireless router in the basement.. thus the house is essentially wireless. What would you recommend in that case?

It was easy to setup for the whole house (3000 sq feet), however this device only acts as extender of the n/w and won't provide routing. I had to buy an external router (Tp-Link) and connect it to my Cox cable modem.

According to the product description, it is a router that will give you wireless internet. "Simply connect your existing ethernet cable to this router & enjoy instant WiFi"

The unit plugs into your existing internet service via your router. Ideally, you'll collaborate with all your neighbors using everyone's internet service, each plugged into an Open Mesh transmitter- ideally there's some diversity in ISPs -to create a robust neighborhood WiFi mesh. I used two units, one in my house, the other in the gatehouse to provide an extended WiFi zone around my house and yard. Very pleased.

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

It has built-in WiFi, so you can put it anywhere.It also has wired Ethernet, so you can also plug it in to your router as well.

No,you need a different kind of router.If you go on Amazon's website you will find what you need.

If you have to ask this question, you'd be better off renting a router/modem combo from your ISP. It is a router, and creates a wireless signal that can be picked up by any network card that supports any 802.11 specification, regardless of what operating system you are using.

If the cellular unit has a wireless capability it should if you know the user name & password of the router

If your current Internet MODEM has wifi built into it no this is not a wireless bridge. This plugs into your modem with Ethernet and then creates a wifi zone in your home/office. This is a router with a wifi access point built in. If you need to extend the wifi that is built into your modem search for a wifi range extender. But don't expect the same performance. Extenders are effectively half the performance of the first wifi device.

Yes you will need some sort of router, this will not affect your computer speed.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.
