Can I use this as a Wifi Range extender ??

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

As far as using as a wifi range extender, I did not see an option for this, I just got a range extender from the local electronic store for about 20 bucks.

HI, this is a power line adapter, IT does not have a wifi repeater or AP function. Your wireless signal will not be increased because this is a pure wired solution to extend your network range. If you want a power line solution to extend your wireless, I suggest something else.A powerline adapter that extends your wireless range, check out this kits on amazon: TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT ADVANCED 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, AV500 Powerline Edition. Search for that

M situation was different in that I installed it on a router with only one external antenna. I think it probably depends upon how your range extender is configured. If it simply has two antennas broadcasting identical signals, there probably wouldn't be a problem. If each antenna is dedicated to different frequencies, that may pose some issues. I guess what I would do is replace one antenna and then switch the configuration to the other and see if it works well for you in either. The other approach would simply be to replace both antennas with two Amped powered antennas, which may provide significant advantages. If it/they don't work out, you can simply return them for a refund. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Not unless you know his password. The extender instructions say that the extender needs to be near the wifi modem to get best signal. Mine was in another room and barely got any signal. I don't recommend buying this product for that. Don't be cheap just buy you some internet;-)

Yes you should, but it really depends on the construction of your home and how "WiFi unfriendly" it is. If you have standard wooden floors than it shouldn't be a problem, but if you have something like concrete (as an example), this is very bad for WiFi signals.

Yes, you can do this (configure it as a wifi client and it can re-broadcast a local wifi network). However, as it's very small, the antennas aren't great - you would be much better off using a purpose-built wifi range extender

I have not used it as a wi-fi repeater (retransmitting wifi signal to extend its range), and don't think it is capable. However, it works great using it to connect my old xbox 360 (wired connection only) to my wi-fi network. I did have to run the setup program twice, though. First time failed, second time worked perfect.

Hi there! Yes you can use multiple extenders for increased range - their main source of wireless connection would need to be the same.

I would look into getting a power over Ethernet setup, these wireless range extenders don't work very well

no. That's not the way DSL works. What you need is a range extender. I recommend the AMPED range extender: http://www.amazon.com/Amped-Wireless-Power-Extender-REA20/dp/B00EPGH86O%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00EPGH86O I've purchased this for clients and it is EXTREMELY reliable and certain/simple to set up. A bit dear in price, but you'll forget that after one month.

The short answer is no!!!!. It is a long range wifi adaptor capable of receiving the signal from a router or hotspot that can be up to 3000 ft away.

No I don't think it will. I had difficulty getting it to extend my Wifi. It's only as good as the signal it gets from the other router. I sent it back.

I don't believe so. I had to go about 20 feet but through an external wall and could not get a signal. I wound up just hard-wiring the Extender, running a cable from the source to the extender. The other thing to note here is that I'm not sure I agree that it's an "extender"... it simply started another network. So... with an ethernet cable and any wireless router, you could do the same thing.

This will not work as WIFI. It is like extending your hard wired cable without wires through your home wiring. It does however work amazingly well just like being connected at the source.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

Using an AP as repeater is not a very good idea as throughoutput will be limited. Unless it is absolutely impossible to get a cable where you need it, wire it to your network, use the same SSID and EXACTLY THE SAME security protocol of your other AP, and you'll have extended the coverage of your wifi.
