Does this unit take signals from router and then expand the signal? I have a 22 unit hotel with free wifi through a centralized router.

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

Basically, yes. I have my unit in a retail location. It's plugged in to my switch which is connected to the firewall. I have it locked down with WPA2

Yes...it depends on the type of connection you are using. My husband is staying in a long term hotel and using the free WiFi and he has troubles keeping a connection. However, at home, connecting to our router, he has no problems at all. Keep looking for a stronger connection.

Well if you are talking about your old router just replace it, or have the 2 of them hook together, but then you will have 2 different wifi signals and I see no point in doing so hope this answers your question

Unfortunately the extender requires a signal strength of at least 70% from the source in order to function correctly. If the signal from the hotels WIFI is too low than the unit will not connect. Also, please keep in mind that some public WIFI networks, for reasons of security, do not allow extenders to connect.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

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?

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.

I wouldn't know as I have only one of them, but I assume that there would be no conflict. The device simply locks onto the nearest wifi signal and amplifies it accordingly. That's its sole purpose, and I don't imagine there would be any issue with transmission or reception of such a signal, since it uses the electrical wiring in your home to connect to the router, but again, I only have one device, so I can't say with any real certainty what the effects are.

As others have pointed out, this device requires drivers from Netgear, so I think this is not product to solve your problem. Have you considered moving your existing router to improve signal strength or adding a second router, I added a second wireless router and my dead zones were gone.

I ordered one and returned it. It didnt work for me as a stand alone umit(wifi booster) i missread add or they added more info. Looks know like this unit is supposed to hook up to router then send you wifi signal. I wish i had called seller to ask why it didnt work before returning it. If it works it is one of the only ways to get a mobil network with wifi router in a mobil vehicle like my rv.

After initiallizing your wifi repeater, you can hide your SSID from broadcasting. I personally found out in my unit when I did this, it would emit a weaker signal. I also recommend changing your router channel to 1 or 6 or 11 for a more stable setup.

It depends of the software of the router whether it wants to use which radio to connect to a device. But if just the AD14EX is the only antenna it will only pick up the signal in the direction it is pointing at.

Great, depending on your router. But I have no problems at all with signal.

Doesn't repeat the signal. However it is a fantastic Ethernet bridge. I use it to deliver video services (Amazon Prime Video, etc.) to my receiver in HD over 5ghz. Highly recommended for that. I recommend staying away from range extenders, as the typically don't perform as advertised, and cut the throughput in half as a function of signal repeating. If signal strength is what you need, the go with a higher powered wifi router, such as Asus.

Yes. You just need a splitter. A signal booster is recomended when you split the signal.

My need was to push a signal to an out building 250ft downhill from my residence. I placed the extender at the peak of the roof in the attic, (at the end of the house, closest to the out building). Plug the unit into a power outlet and presto I had a 3 bar signal to the out building. No additional connections or any other add-ons of any sort. Also, I'm using the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router (R7000).

Yes it creates another SSID that you have to switch to. Most devices are configurable to use the strongest signal so if you can configure your device for the strongest, it should not be an issue.
