As a Range Extender/Repeater, 2 questions: 1. Can this Repeater "repeat" another Repeater?2. Can more than one device connect to this simultaneously?

1. I don't see why not. Just follow the instructions and connect to the other repeater (assume that the other repeater is the router in the instructions).2. Yes but why? Set the repeater with the same passcode as the router, all your devices still connect as before. You do not need to change anything on your devices.

2. Hardwire connections are only for setup, once you set it everything is wireless you use the repeater for more than one device like computer, tablet and .1. You probably could use one repeater to repeat an existing repeater signal, but not with the same IP address. You should than use the first repeater and not your WiFi router to setup your 2nd repeater.

I don't know if it can re-repeat. I've got it repeating from an access point. There is only one place to physically connect another device via cat 5 cable. Wireless, there should be no limit (except bandwidth).

I do not use a wifi repeater so I can speak intelligently about that. A direct connection has worked flawless so far. No issues with connectivity. And my wifi still works good all around the house and even works well when using on my laptop in my back yard so no issues with the extra cable connection.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

I have two strips connected together currently and they are working fine. I dont run them for very long periods though. Maybe and hour at most and have not had any issues. According to all info out there you are supposed to run a "repeater" to connect more than one strip. Also, you will need a "strip to strip" connector to join strips together. You can find alot of different types on this site.

You need one repeater in between any number of signal devices and your control center, not one per device or one per zone on the control center. For example, I placed the control center upstairs and found that two of the door/window sensors and the motion sensor downstairs did not always communicate with it successfully. We bought one signal repeater and plugged it in near the problem devices, and now they all communicate with the control center without any problems. Note that the door/window sensors and the motion sensor were assigned to different zones.

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

In theory you should be able to do this; however, I'm not having much luck in keeping it stable. I can get the second extender configured and I can log on with my laptop/iPad/iPhone once, but when I disconnect I can't get it to re-connect. I've updated to the latest firmware. I have swapped the roles of the extenders and in a single extender environment they work fine, but when I try to add the second extender I can't get a reliable connection. I'm going to continue to work on this as I'm certain it should work; however, at this time I would have to say it does not work. Update: I got this working. My mistake was trying to name both extenders the same. Once I changed the names to be unique it works great.

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot "chain" two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

I don't have Verizon Fios, but you have to understand the point of the repeater is extend your wireless signal. Assuming you are running a wireless network at home, the repeater will allow you to get or extend that wireless signal to places you don't already have it. If you're using Verizon just for wireless tv, you should check if you need Verizon hardware to access that signal. But if you're using Verizon for your wireless tablets or laptops, the repeater should work for extending that signal. Difficulty? If you can find your SSID and password for your wireless network, no problem. If you don't know what that is, have someone else do it.

I think you require an Ethernet connection to configure the repeater. I use one of my old laptops that has an Ethernet connetion to do it. So maybe you can borrow someone's old computer to do it. Another work around is to obtain a USB to Ethernet adapter.

There is nothing in the instructions about repeater/extender. THis antenna increases he range of wifis you can receive on the computer. It uses a usb to connect. Maybe you can ask at the official web site: ccrane.com.

Yes, but the extenders work off of your main router and not each other. You could not, for example, extend the range by putting multiple extenders in a series. We have put one in our basement and one on the second floor. Both pick up the signal of the main router and give us better coverage. You do, however, have to rename one of the SSIDs for one of the extenders. By default, the extender sends an SSID of MYWIFI_EXT. The second extender would have to be renamed. Instructions for this come with the extender.

The extender would pair with one wireless router. It won't be able to boost signal from 2 wireless routers.

If you connect them by wired you can use two or more. If you want to expand a Wirelles network you have to use one as a router or acces points and the other as a repeater.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!
