Does this create a new wifi network to connect to, or does it extend the range of the same network?

It creates another wifi network to connect to using the same source of internet.

It creates a new wifi network for you to connect to with an enhanced signal within your home.

It creates another network. I returned it because it stopped working in 2 days.

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

I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict. Each of the range extenders would have to have its own network name (SSID). Even using only one range extender, the Wifi receiver on my laptop detects both my router's SSID and the network Extender's different SSID (with strength of each depending on proximity to the respective sender unit). Either can be selected and connected depending on its strength. I suspect a second range extender would just be seen as a third WiFi signal with a different name by the wireless radio of the laptop. However, I'm not a LAN expert and could be wrong about this. I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict.

No, it does not effect my wifi. We also have a wifi extension because our wifi only go so far. This device does not effect the wifi extension either.

You can only extend the range of your network with an AirPort or AirPort Extreme, unless you connect it with a cable to your router. Still needs to be closer to where you sit than the wireless router.

In repeater mode it is just extending the network you already have so it is pretty straight forward. It is a good idea to access the setup to make sure it is properly configured however.

I'm not an advanced techie to totally know what your talking about, but my guess is it's an extender. It is tied to existing WiFi network with its password but I also give it it's own net name and password.

In theory, yes, but it was rather a PITA for me to get it to work as an extender on my network. It worked after much configuration though, so you should be able to extend the network of the TriFi network (just another Wifi network), just as if it were another router.

It uses the same network name. If you are closer to your main router and the signal is stronger there it will use the main router. If you wonder off across the country and the extender has a better signal to your router then it will switch to it. I have my extender out in my workshop 100' from my main router and I can carry my laptop from my house out to the workshop without loosing the signal. You use the same security code as you use for the main router. i have a Bi-quad antenna connected to one antenna pointed at my house and the antenna that came with it on the other. I get excellent signal strength and the same upload and download speeds as being connected to the main router.

yes it does. it creates a hotspot for any device that has wifi capabilities.

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.

If you are asking if it extends your wi-fi range- No. But you can get higher gain antennas which will.

Yes, the WifiSD creates it's own private SSID and doesn't require connecting to an existing wireless network. (Although it is possible to tell the WifiSD to connect to an existing wifi network so that you could access it from your device while continuing to have Internet access as well. I've never quite gotten that feature working for me but it wasn't a primary use case for me so I didn't try very hard.

The router only acts as an extension of your existing router. It should automatically connect exactly the same way it connects to your current router. It just extends the network with the same user name and password.

if your computer can communicate IP over WiFi, then you should have no problem. This is the same as connecting to a home router. All it does is extend the range of your current router, you don't need to do anything to your computer, just connect to the internet through your router as you did before, using the same SSID and password ( if necessary). This device will allow you to do this further away from your router than you used to do.

it is a wireless router, which should provide you with wifi for a reasonable distance,depending on the terrain and/or construction of your premises. for extended range there is a seperate product, called appropriately a wifi range extender

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.
