Are these used to EXTEND range, or provide ADDITIONAL rooms for cleaning? Some reviews indicates use as extenders, others indicate additional rooms.

If you a large open space they can extend range Otherwise you can place each cube in a seprate room

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

They told me that too, but I am using it. It works so good, I do not need my extender anymore. Very nice. Got mine at Target for just over $200. Easy install, easy to get other items to into your network.

No. It is not considered a range extender. I have more than one and once paired to your Z wave hub it has a range (unobstructed) of 100'. Reality is the strength of your homes Wi-Fi can influence this devices capacities greatly.

Paul, you would want the range extender if you want your cordless phone to reach farther from the base station than it presently does. Product details may tell how much it extends the range. In my case it greatly improved operation of the phone in the barn.

These longer antennas gave me a stronger signal in my Master Bedroom than before. I can now stream movies on my TV in my bedroom. They did not get a give me a longer range to reach my work shop. I wound up getting a Wi-Fi range extender.

The short answer is "No." The extender is to be placed at the outer limit of the coverage range of the wireless router. The link between the two is more easily completed if they are close together during the setup, but then in order to extend the range, they must be placed at an effective distance from each other and still be connected wirelessly.

You can use it for either. If you use it as a 'repeater' it shows up the exact same way as it would if you were hooking up to your existing WiFi network. If you use it as a 'bridge' it uses your existing WiFi to create a new WiFi network. Both ways work fine.

*If* you have hardwired ethernet in the area with weak wireless, you can use this device to set up a separate wireless network in that area of your apartment. I think however, a standard wireless router would serve you better. This device will not work as a wireless repeater to extend an existing wireless network.

We have two of these... one for each of our conference rooms. They work very well, even at extended ranges. However, ClearOne makes an extender if you feel you need better coverage.

Yes, I believe this is what it was intended for. It did not fit my needs, unfortunately, but an extension cord for a refrigerator or a range is probably it's intended use.

To the best of my knowledge it is only intended as a range extender and not designed to provide the services of a router. I have a very large ranch style, single story home, and router in my office is over 100 feet from the opposite end of the house. This unit significantly improved my signal strength, ending dropped connections from wireless devices in use on the other end of the house, and the guest house on the property.

According to the documentation, yes. You can use more than one to extend in a big house/building. Just place your router somewhere where the signal can be picked up by the extender.

Yes, you need two or more of these. These are especially good for house to house since they transmit and receive a relatively long distance. Regular so-called wireless intercoms depend on the house electrical wiring and do not often work if the units are in different houses. Remember, since these transmit over the air, your communication can be monitored by others who use the same channels within a few miles.

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

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

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful
