My router (TL-WDR3600) is dual band (2.4 and 5.0 GHz). Can this extender put out 5.0 as well as 2.4 ?

Based on the internal settings, I see it only supports single band (2.4 Ghz)

It is supposed to extend both 2.4 and 5GHz but mine would only see the 2.4GHz band. I ended up returning mine. Also I would not the range on these devices is not near that of a normal wireless router. It is not a bad little device but if you have big expectations for additional range you may be disappointed.

Sorry, I don't know. I had a problem with the router on first floor and my Tv in the basement where the signal strength was poor. I used the D-Link wireless extender to get a better strength on the signal. However I do not think you can do a serial extender setup.

John, not sure if it works well at 5ghz I can tell you that I noticed a reduced speed when using it to extend the range of my dlink router.

I am planning on putting two WiFi extenders in two different parts of the house. One part has its own separate wiring. Will this one still amplify the signal from the modem?

wifi dual range run both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz -- 2.4 typically has much larger range, but the channels are separate so if you set upa bridge to extend your wifi range and it can use the 5ghz channel, you get higher total throughput on the extended 2.4 channel since it won't use your existing 2.4 bandwidth. The net performance on the extended link is a bit lower since you'll have a bit of latency as the bridge needs to retransmit packets to your wifi hub.

Yes it should be! Once you have a wifi signal on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency it will pick up your signal clear as ever! Router brands make little difference!

no, it's compatible with 2.4GHz. But in usual, the router has 5GHz and also 2.4GHz.

Not 100% sure if you will be able to extend that far but what I can tell you is when extending the wifi signal you lose performance and internet speed the farther the extender is from the router and the farther your products that you will be using are from the extender hope this helps

You need a router which generates 5Ghz. The extender just extends the signal the router generates.

It is not compatible with a 2.4 GHz adapter. It is strictly 5 GHz. If you need 2.4 GHz, purchase an access point with that capability included.

the router is extender the signal but not speedup ,....i have to move the router possible near the original router is better signal to extender the netgear wn200rpt

I have two of these in use where I live. Both are in bridge mode. I bought them when I was still very limited in my networking knowledge, so any initial issues I had were simply due to my lack of experience. I do not remember ever having issues with hardware. If you are only having issues with 5 GHz, then perhaps you are pushing its range limits? While 5 GHz is awesome, it doesn't have as long of a range that 2.4 GHz does. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24246/~/what-is-the-difference-between-2.4-ghz-%26-5ghz%3F

No, it will only "extend" existing wireless network generated from your existing router. I purchased one of these but returned it. I have a router with both 2.4G and 5G but the extender only picked up the 2.4G so mind did not work as advertised.Some folk have good luck with these but many of the complaints on the wed describe my situation with the device -- Hope this helps

I don't believe so. I've had various problems with this 5 mhz thing. I have to use that on my wifi at home to get fast speeds, but then some of my handheld devices won't pick up the 5 mhz network. So the 2.4 on this is to my advantage. Anyway, I don't think it has that option.

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!

I'm pretty sure you can but I don't have an extender. I've owned the Airport Extreme for about 5 years now and it's been flawless. I've never had to reset it like other routers. I don't even know if you would need an extender with this router. I live in a 2000 sq ft home and get a signal even outside up to a couple of houses away. If you have a much larger house I guess extenders would help.
