No this will not interfere with a wireless N network. It operates through your electrical wiring.

I don't know about your router, but, when this device is engaged, I lose control of my wireless mouse and keyboard.

The device did not work well in my house. Sometimes I could get online but most of the time, I couldn't. HP and HughesNet both finally suggested that I have an Ethernet cable installed. Now I connect my laptop to the internet whenever I want. The device may work perfectly in another house. We were told that there is something in the construction of our house that was blocking the signal because of the soundproofing in our bedroom/living room wall.

It doesn't make any difference who the wireless carrier is, what you want is a signal that is wireless {N} compatible. Also the distance and obstructions must be considered. What I did was email the support group at NETGEAR. Just go to their website at www.netgear.com. They really helped me. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Yes, a repeater or a AP/Bridge "should" solve your problem but it depends on how you connect the devices.You would have to use the repeater to bridge the Linksys Router using WiFI then connect the bridge using the CAT5 cable to you NetGear.That being said... I wouldn't use the $200 repeater where I could use a $100 WiFi Bridge.Or you could just use the repeater as a repeater and do away with one of your WiFi Routers

You must connect at least one Sonos component to your network router. It will then set-up its own wireless network to communicate between the various components. If you have only one component near your router then you won't need a bridge. If you can't plug right into your router then you'll need a bridge to serve in that role. I have one bridge plugged into my Apple TimeCapsule and then have Sonos devices in my kitchen, living room, and bed room all communicating with the bridge. Sonos periodically runs specials where they give you a free bridge with purchase of a device.

you definitley could experience interference from other RF signals. I did research online and read that people had problems from other component remotes or neighbor's garage door openers. I did not have luck with an RF remote. We bought a logitech remote and had to run a wire to extend the base unit to the eye ball that sits on top of your tv. The wire was extremely cheap from amazon ($2 for 25 feet). I had my contractor who worked on my kitchen run the wire through the wall for me. My setup was a little more complicated. TV was hung on a wall in the family room and all components were in a laundry room close by but the two rooms did not share a wall. Good luck.

Quick question; I continue to buy wireless components and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wireless devices that can connect to this router? I have, computers, playstation, printers, DirectV boxes for several rooms, etc. that are all wireless and I would like to know the limtations of this device. Thanks in advance. ~ Gunner

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

Each sonos component has it's own range that is independent of your wifi network. I thought I read the range somewhere but I don't remember the exact numbers. How your house is built will impact range too, just like a traditional wifi network.

I have a WiFi N network and I've had this product for the past 4-5 weeks and it hasn't interfered thus far. Are you experiencing interference issues?

Here is my personal view. CISCO routers are amongst the most difficult routers to configure and especially with Apple Devices. I had 02 and I gave up and bought an Apple Airport. Not only are the Routers (E2000 and the Wireless Extender) challenging to set up, they also keep crashing which requires constant work and setting up. So do yourself a favour and choose a different router. You can look at Apple (seamless integration) or ASUS or any other robust brand. I personally will never buy CISCO again.

I don't have this particular product, but I have another microsoft wireless keyboard. As far as interfering with your wireless network, I wouldn't worry. This is not a high bandwidth device, so even if it did interfere with your wireless transmission, you are not likely to notice any significant changes. You are more likely to notice it in the other direction -- that is, wireless network interfering with your keyboard. That being said, Microsoft has a pretty solid lock on stable wireless technology. Xbox 360 controllers and their wireless keyboards and mice are pretty resilient to interference. They must have some kind of buffering built into the devices themselves and some way to verify transmitted data like the Transmission Control Protocol does on the internet. Whatever it is, it works. And this is coming from a guy who sees interference in my Logitech mouse from my wireless network. Not with my Microsoft keyboard though.

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.

We have a wireless router for our laptops, but our desktop PCs are still wired into the router too ...in another room. So what do you suggest? I wonder if two routers in one home would work. Our Wii is in the room with the tv that we would like to install the player, so then we have to wonder about how this would effect it's wireless capabilities too.

This wireless adapter works in conjunction with a Belkin Wi-Fi Router. There are different models, and I have owned a couple. I actually use the Belkin N750, which covers the whole house and the yard, with no interference. I suggest that the router power be disconnected at night, first to avoid others to use your signal for free (if they can break into the security), and second, so you don't have those waves in your house while you sleep. Belkin is very good in customer and technical services, so I've been covered very well in all aspects. Besides, when you purchase through Amazon, you are assured that returns and exchanges are very smooth. Be safe and be blessed.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.
