Im looking for a 15 Km distance in bridge mode , this wil work ? i have a TP link acces point , i need to use a wifi boster or something ?

We use the TP-LINK over distances up to 25 km with good signal levels and path fade margins

9 miles, no never. boosters wont help. you would need a different technology.

If You have line of sight and 2 of the 5 GHZ 30 decibel dish antennas with one at each location, you can bridge the 15 km distance. You must have line of sight. This will mean that you will have to have a clear path with no trees or buildings or hills blocking the signal path.

Yes, it will work if you have a TP-Link ant5830 5ghz antenna at Both ends. the antenna beam width is very narrow so alignment is critical and your Fresnel path should be very clear. Transmit power on each end should be in the range of 25 to 36dbm.

I'm finding that these devices truly need line-of-sight between stations to operate properly. The biggest variable will most likely be attenuation due to trees (and other foliage) as well as man-made obstacles (roofs of houses, etc.). A good calculator tool is available at the Ubiquiti web site. The link: http://airlink.ubnt.com/ You can plug in the coordinates of your two stations and see if the terrain will permit proper link performance.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See http://amzn.com/B0066DV06I

I don't know what the distance limitation is, but I have always had it less than 15' from the source. In fact, since I wrote the review, I have used it rarely, because it will not make a bluetooth connection with my sources. Not happy with the product or the support.

Are you trying to use this as a repeater to extend the range of your existing AP? If so you need to set the operation mode to "bridge". Then go to wireless>basic and choose use Universal repeater box at the bottom. Then you need to type in the extended SSID "WAP-2" or something similar.

As long as the TP link has a reverse SMA connector it should work. We have found that the increase in gain is useful in reaching the back of our property

800' probably exceeds the limits of the IP Networking and power (PoE) provided. More importantly, the vendor has discontinued this product, so support is extremely limited. If you can return it if it doesn't work, great. If it works, buy a backup while you can.

I will be looking to solve the same problem in about 6 months, and so have considered the alternatives. The GL-iNet might work, but its range might be limited because it has no external antenna. I am more inclined to try the TP-LINK TL-WR940N or WR841ND. I am comfortable working with the open source router software, openWrt, and would set the router up to link to the campground AP and then provide a local AP for my wireless devices as well as a connection for a set-top box of some sort (Roku or Chromecast or other).

I am not impressed with this product...the distance quoted just is not true. Personally, I would look for a different device.

have you tested at different distances from your router? which card do you have (there are two).

Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use. So the extender has to be placed in a straight line from your mom's modem for it to pick it up and as close as you can get the D-link in your house to your moms. I don't think it will work but ask For product support visit http://support.dlink.com I switched to Netgear available at Best Buy for around 70 dollars works much better because the support is in fan configuration instead of the D-link straight line. Hope I helped.

I have mine connected in my bedroom... there is a wall and approx 4 feet from the router. It works at full strength so I think it is not necessary to have it very close. Based on what I have heard from friends (who own similar devices), these devices will work well up to a distance of 10 meters beyond which it is not totally reliable.

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

I too live in a semi rural area, closest neighbor is about 150 yards away, I can get full signal on his wireless router. If you run Linux you can increase the power and it will go even further.

Are you close enough? The tablet is really picky about wifi connections(It really hates being more then 15 ft. away from the router really). If you have connected to a network but it says "Obtaining IP address" restart the wifi setting and restart the router. Those seem to work for me.
