As a Range Extender/Repeater, 2 questions: 1. Can this Repeater "repeat" another Repeater? 2. Can more than one device connect to this simultaneously?

Hi there Donoto,I have 2 lap tops,1 tablet,and my Iphone connected and I have mine connected to a Linskys Wi/Fi,so far its really been working great! I hope this helps.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

I think you require an Ethernet connection to configure the repeater. I use one of my old laptops that has an Ethernet connetion to do it. So maybe you can borrow someone's old computer to do it. Another work around is to obtain a USB to Ethernet adapter.

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

I don't know the answer to the 1st question. 2nd question, it will connect only one at a time.

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

Hi Brian, you can use two extenders in one network, but you won't be able to "chain" two of them together to further extend the signal. If you're having trouble getting signal downstairs even with an extender, you might want to look into a Powerline setup!

Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot "chain" two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

This Amped Wireless High Power Router is not a repeater, for the distance you have I am highly recommend the Amped Wireless High Power Extender to strengthen the WIFI signal from your router.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

You can have multiple extenders that repeat the main router signal to different areas -- extending range in multiple directions -- but you cannot set up a DAP-1320 to become a wireless range repeater to another DAP-1320 (daisy-chained).

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.

I believe you can. There are at least 4 ways it can work. Repeater mode in my opinion is easiest requiring no setup except a password. And hey, for 25$ you ought to try one out. I bought 2, one to extend range in house via wifi repeater. And one to act as a wireless modem in my shop via a cat5 wire. both set up very easily in repeater mode. The wizards work well.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.
