You can plug the wireless range extender into the powerline adapter with an ethernet cable to broadcast wifi.

i use the power line adapter with that range extender(TL-WA850RE) and it works very well. No problems at all.

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.

This is not a wifi device, it is a bluetooth device. I have never heard of a range extender for bluetooth devices, but they may exist.

Depends on what you mean by "Wifi extender". Think of this device (it takes two of them) as replacing a piece of cat-5 or cat-6 cable, using the power line as a way to create a data link. There is only an RJ-45 (network cable connecter) on each unit. Plug one in the wall at one place and connect your internet source, i.e. router to it. Plug a second unit into a wall outlet somewhere else in your house or office and connect your PC or printer to the RJ-45 on that unit. Go through the simple sync procedure and that's it. There is no other intelligence in these.

Are you trying to use this as a repeater to extend the range of your existing AP? If so you need to set the operation mode to "bridge". Then go to wireless>basic and choose use Universal repeater box at the bottom. Then you need to type in the extended SSID "WAP-2" or something similar.

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

Hi Bob. IF you are going to use the TR-Link device as an Access Point then yes, connect it to your wireless router using a regular RJ45 (straight-through) Cat5 cable. Regarding the power, the device came with a power supply which sends power to the TP-Link over a Cat5 cable. Hope that helped!

Yes, it will work just fine with a wireless adapter. I use an Iogear adapter with wps setup. It works just fine and is unobtrusive.

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

What I would recommend is to plug your modem into a router that has at least WPA2 security options then plug the TP-Link to the router. Why you may ask? You should never connect your computer through the modem without a router, its like going to war without weapons. By having the modem connected to a router then the tp-link you have a line of defense for internet threats. If you do not already have a router, please do yourself a favor and buy one, it will save you in the longrun they are currently fairly cheap.

Yes, you need what we call the base unit like (TP-LINK TL-PA211 AV200 Mini Powerline Adapter) . the base unit is the one you plug in the electricity outlet near your router and you connect it with the router by a RJ cable . after that you can plug the WPA281 (the one you already have it) in any electricity outlet in your home and you will have both Wifi signal plus a cable connection option.

The SR300 can go either way. I initially set mine up, out of the box, as a Wi-Fi extender (repeater). After some problems, and with the excellent help of the Amped technical staff, I changed it to a wireless access point via a firmware change. This is one of the few (maybe only) device that can do that.

No, it is designed to be used with a wired router. I use the TP-LINK wired router.

No. This product is not a range extender. It is used to convert a computer without the AC protocol to AC. The problem is probably with your router

All Amped routers can be converted to acting as just wireless access points. It will work with your setup in AT mode not router mode. A range extender is when yo do not have an ethernet cable connected to the device, an access point is when you do have an ethernet cable connected coming form your gateway/router.

I would not buy this one. I replaced mine with a TP-Link router and it is a way better router and really easy to connect to. I left feed back on the one I bought to.Have a nice dayTed
