If I plug this into my asus router with ethernet cable can I make this a separate wireless access point with its own SSID.

Sure, but remember to configure its IP to be different from any other hardware in your network, but in the same range, example your router is 192.168.1.1 your PicoM2HP 192.168.1.20, and different Wifi Channel, example your Asus Channel 6, your PicoM2HP Channel 11, they should to have five channel away.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

No, you would have to buy and add a wireless network card. This can be a PCI ( internal ) or USB ( external ) type of wireless network card

As an alternative, buy a cheap wireless router and convert it to a wireless bridge. I bought an Asus for 29.99 (after $10 rebate). Upload DD-WRT 3rd party software to it. The whole process took about 5-10 minutes, depending how familiar you are with the process. I was able to create a client bridge use the wireless connection, and I also have a "remote router" with the bridge with 5 Ethernet connections compared to one from a dedicated wireless Linksys Ethernet bridge. Check out www.dd-wrt.com for compatible wireless routers to convert.

Yes that is how this unit works. It will create a new WIFI network with its own SSID and password.

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.
617572
Yes. I have a PC, with wireless capability, connected with an Ethernet cable to the ASUS repeater (WAP) and I can switch to wireless connection to either the repeater or to my ASUS router located a few rooms away.

Yes, it can function in either access point or client mode. You would just keep it in access point mode (factory default) and configure the SSID and key to be the same as your other device.

Yes, you just hardwire the access point to your wired router and then the access point will provide wifi to all your clients. You would use the config program from ubiquiti to connect to the access point in order to configure it.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

Yes, this is a router an AP or access point. Make sure this is at the end of the network and set this as your AP.
2240863
Yes, as long as your MAIN Wireless router has these options. It can be done manually through the software router set-up.
547762
Yes. If the extender detects that it has an ethernet cable from the router, it will become an AP (access point).

If the router includes more than one ethernet jack then yes. If it only has one ethernet jack, then you'd want to buy a switch or hub.

Yes, with some configuration. This device acts as a wireless AP, but has both AP and bridge mode. So, the one Ethernet that it has can be used to connect to the printer. Then have the Trendnet associate with you existing SSID in bridge mode.

I don't think you need to assign separate SSIDs. Never did with all the dual banders I had. Never encountered any problem. My wifi is fast and I can even access it 10 houses away.
