Repeater mode. I would like to know if the Netgear WPN824NA Wireless MIMO router has a repeater function, also can anyone give me a link to this particular routers support page?

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

Yes, in repeater mode. It does not have a bridge mode, despite what all the marketing materials say.

The EnGenius EAP300 is a much better device, but it costs more. In answer to your question, I have used the the EnGenius as a repeater with several different brands of wireless routers. To avoid frustration, turn off the WPS first as it comes from the factory with WPS turned on as an option. Out of 10 I have installed, I have only had 2 replaced by the company. A much better ratio than the Linksys repeater I had been using.

Dear Hmo,Thank you for asking.I'm sorry but TripMate will not work as a wifi repeater, it normally serves as an AP, regular router (Dynamic/Static IP/PPPoE) and bridge mode. If a WiFi repeater is needed, please search "HT-WR01" on Amazon product page.I hope you will find this helpful. We're happy to help if you need further assistance or have any questions. Thank you for your kind understanding.Best regards,HewittSunvalleytek Customer Care

For that purpose I have to use a repeater. Since I share my 4G Internet with this device through my LAN that´s the best use for this Device in my case.

By default this set of antennas is in bridge mode. So the subnet is the same at the source as the destination. I don't see a problem to connect a repeater directly. I connected a switch and a wireless access point at the destination given the fact that my dhcp setup is handled at the source.

Don't need one per device. The repeater picks up signal from multiple devices. You don't need a repeater per zone- the repeater sends signal to the main device which distributes to your various zones

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

FYI - I was using mine as a repeater and ended up returning it due to constant loss of connection with my main router. Every day I had to reboot it, and by the following morning one section of the house was offline. after a week of that BS I sent it back for a refund.

I configured my EA-N66 as Wireless Access Point mode and wire connected to a switch. My router also wire connected to the same switch. This way my network can accept multiple devices through both wire and wireless connection.

Yes - this router can act as a bridge. The manual refers to repeater with wireless client asociation, point to point bridge , multi point bridge modes. Start by shutting off it's DHCP server (only one should be active on your LAN).

Not sure if it will do it with the stock firmware. If you are willing to take some time to learn how to load on TomatoUSB you can set it up in WDS mode and it will extend your wifi. Or DD-WRT can be set up as a repeater as well.

Not true. All it does is listen for 802.11g a signals and rebroadcasts it. However, a better option would be to buy a Linksys WRT54GL and install the DD-WRT firmware on it. You can then configure it to operate in bridge, repeater, or router mode. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge. The result will cost less, but do more. :-)

Yes, that is possible. From the manual: "5.1.2.2 Enable Universal Repeater Mode The router can act as Station and AP at the same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage."

What would be the purpose for doing that? I can only think that maybe the modem and the router are so far apart (over 300 feet) that you need a switch to repeat the signal between them? Does the wireless router have multiple switch ports? You can just chain this switch to a switch port (not the WAN port) on a router to add more ports/jacks for local devices (although even that occupies two ports - one from the router, and one from this extra switch).

Not sure the difference between extender and repeater. All I know is1. Through manually setting, the item copied my router setting and make exact same network name (not xxxx-1, xxxx-2, ect.)2. When above is done, plug this in the middle point between the router and where I have weak signal. Signal gets boosted and speed gets increased.Hope this helps...
