Is it possible to share the amplified wifi signal with other devices via a router or bridge? or does each device need their own alpha adapter?

In order to share the signal with other devices, you would need a NIC with an RJ45 jack in the PC with the AWUS036NH connected, then in Windows Control panel network section you would need to bridge the AWUS036NH connection with the wired NIC RJ45 ethernet connection, then connect the NIC RJ45 as the input to the wireless router. This should work although you might need to configure the wireless router as a repeater so that the router will not assign IP addresses.

yes , you need one alpa adaptor per device. i'm real happy with my unit, it works great. i can pick up wifi verry far away!!

You need a wireless adapter which costs $99. A way cheaper solution is to get the $25 Zyxel MWR102 wireless client bridge which routes a WiFi signal into 2 ethernet ports :) Not only that the MWR102 is a travel router that can be used for a bunch of other purposes as well.

Tim , I reread your question , apologies . if your extending your wifi , this is not the item . This bridge can extend your wired lan , but its a bridge and upstream are wired connections , downstream is your router on wifi .

You can use a wireless bridge adapter. The cost would likely make this impractical unless you have one lying around or need it for something else. You can also use the ethernet port on a laptop to bridge the wifi internet signal, but this probably isn't practical for extended use from an environmental standpoint. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B007CO5DZ4/

Apparently you do not need the bridge anymore. Due to the robustness of modern WIFI networks, the newest software update (as of September 2014) allows for WIFI connection, instead of their proprietary network. See: http://blog.sonos.com/news/introducing-an-even-simpler-sonos/

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

Typically, you use the USB port to connect the router to the Internet and then other devices connect via WiFi to access the Internet and the USB shared storage. As for the scenario you described, I doubt it will work...

No, you should have a dual band router to let the extender deliver signal in both bands. It does'nt transform it, only amplyfies what you got

It is connected via an ethernet cable (no wireless). Personally I bought a cheap wireless bridge ( http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7228APn-150Mbps-Wireless-Extender/dp/B005KN1YV6 ) and plugged the receiver and all my other internet-saavy A/V equipment into that. I figure I will never need to stream more than 1 of those devices at once so why not plug them into a single point.

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

Hi Eduardo, are you referring to setting it up with separate wireless extenders or repeaters? If so, then the setup is actually done in the extender or repeater device, and it should be compatible with no issues.

Yes you can , but you need to buy separate wireless ethernet bridge adapter, they are available at amazon.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

Any "access point" device will work, as B. Bailey suggested one, so will I: Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-AG300N These devices simply grab the wifi signal like any other wifi device but then they connect your devices through an ethernet connection, which fools these devices into thinking that they're on a (more-reliable, stable) wired connection to the internet. They're no more difficult to setup than your internet router. Many of these exist, I had done my research a year ago and found that most of these only have a single ethernet port--so only one device can be hooked up at a time to grant internet access--but this one most benefited my living room since I have my tv, blu-ray player, and my Xbox 360 which all need internet connections. And this is pretty much the same price or cheaper than some other models. As I said, I've had mine for a year (replacing a 50ft long ethernet cable running through my apartment) and I love it. Once in a whlie the signal drops (like any other wifi device) but it's great and I couldn't be happier with this alternative and it's "multi-use".

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

This is a bridge. You would be able to connect multiple Ethernet devices to this bridge if you wanted. You're still using your WiFi. If you have a buffer problem this unit, or any other you purchase would not likely remedy that problem.
