heater blocking signal of wifi. Do I need a hub and receiver to accomplish this
85023
Hi Judy, I'm just using the Ayrmesh Hub2n and it's signal is decent even inside steel and concrete buildings 300 feet away. My Belkin wifi hub alone gets spotty signal inside my house, the Ayrmesh hub sends a strong signal anywhere in my house and beyond. From my understanding, the add on receiver is for WiFi impenetrable buildings where you put the receiver outside and then a wire(s) goes inside the building. Best to you

not sure what you mean by heater.... is this a physical object blocking the signal to your device.... if so and they cannot be repositioned then you may need another device, like a range extender to triangulate around it.

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

I just read Alex P.'s answer and that sounds like a better way to go. I didn't know they had a powerline adapter kit that allows for a wireless hub on the receiving end.

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

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.

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

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

I had the same question, when you connect it as directed you can be LAN (USB) and it will also produce a wifi signal for those devices. It does both or either one as needed. Mine was bought used and works great.

It must be powered from the POE and connected to the router via cat5/6. It sounds like you may be looking for a range extender, but the throughputon those will be much lower due to their nature (having to receive/transmit radio signals simultaneously).

From my experience this would need a LAN cable or a USB Stick to be able to produce a wifi signal. I will try to check for you in the coming days and will let you know

A qualifying "Yes". First you need your own WiFi Router. From your WiFi Router you need to set up what I call the receiver-TP-LINK end (the unit on the left in the photograph on Amazon) and, following the instructions the kit provides, you sync your WiFi Router signal and password into the receiver-TP-LINK The receiver-TP_LINK sends the WiFi signal through the electrical wiring of your house to the what I call transmitter (the unit on the right in the photo). The transmitter sends both WiFi from it and can also be hard wired via 10_BaseT cables acting as a regular router. But remember the system goes into sleep mode when any receiving units like your computer, Apple TV, Roku, BluRay, iPhone, etc., are not in use causing a time delay in connecting to the internet. Second to note is so far all I can get is the 2GB band, no 5GB. Thus, the signal speed is slower and could be an issue with gamers. Third and very important is the whole system will not work through any wall circuits in the house connected to GFCI aka GFI. (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) These circuits are usually restricted to bathrooms but can be found elsewhere in newer homes and apartments. These comments are from my experience.

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.

Just plug into the wall, but if you have any secuity set up on the router, it won't work. Use the disk for setup with security enabled router. No problem getting the connection running but didn't solve our bad signal problem at all.

There is a transmitter unit (you plug your modem into this one) and a receiver unit (you plug this one into the wall where you want wifi extended) in this kit.

You will need to purchase receivers for the cabins. My signal from the hub goes about 1/2 acre, although I have the least expensive cable internet service, don't know if that matters. Signal loses strength when going through trees, buildings etc. so we have 1 hub and 1 receiver for 2 acres/2 homes. My ayremesh is outside, and have been 99% happy with it.

You only need the hub2n if all devices in your cabins are wifi capable. If a device in your cabin is not wifi capable and needs a network connection, then a receiver is required for such a device.

Does not have to be to be close. My router is downstairs and I have it connected on the second story bedroom. You could always try using a wifi repeater if you are getting interference.
