Can this one be used as a WiFi extender? Thanks!

So i can place this thing in a different bedroom in the house with a not so good connection, and the signal overlap should give it a strong connection and signal, yes?

Yes. They call it bridging mode, you can use the default method of bridging under wireless settings or there are some youtube videos that show a slightly more advanced method. Also a bit of patience, for whatever reason it is slow to allow access to the web initially but works fine within half an hour or less.

Can this router be used to connected a wired device to the wireless network? I have e a tv that is only wired and I would to use this router as a bridge to pull down the wireless signal and transfer them to an Ethernet port. Thank you.

Yes. Here are the steps in the correct order to do this with the stock firmware. As other have said, internet access may take a while after setup is complete. 1) Plug in the router and turn on the wifi (there is a button on the router for this) 2) Connect to the the network being broadcast from the TP-link router (The password is on the bottom of the router) 3) Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar 4) Click on DHCP and disable it, then click "save" at the bottom 5) If you have more than one of these routers or your main routers IP address is 192.168.0.1, click on Network then LAN and change the IP address of the router to some different IP like 192.168.2 click save, reconnect to the TP-Link network and log back into the router by using the new IP address. 6) Click on Wireless then Security and change the password for the TP-link network to the same password as the network you are trying to extend. Click save, reconnect to the network with the new password and log in to the router again. 7) Click wireless again. 8) Change the SSID to the same SSID as the network you want to extend. 9) Click the Check box next to "enable WDS bridging" 10) Click on "survey" then select the network you want to extend 11) enter the password for that network toward the bottom of the page 12) Click save 13) click OK or agree to the error that will popup about the channel being set to auto. Agreeing to this will let the router set the channel to whatever channel the main router is using. 14) The router should disconnect you and you should reconnect to the network you wanted to extend but with better signal strength. It might take a minute for internet access or you might have to restart your laptop and other devices. This was from memory so it should be close but might not be perfect. The order of the steps does matter and is different than TP-Links FAQ answer.

Yes you can, it took me couple days and many hours to find that out, here is the video how to make it Bridge mode. Remember to connect it with the Ethernet cable while you are doing the set up. Be patient and enjoy this extender from an affordable Price. Good luck to you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA9QhjjTP2o&app;=desktop

I need wifi for my computer. Can this be used for getting my wifi? Iam new at a computer this is my first one. And I need all the help that I can get to use my computer.

Unfortunately, this is High Power Router not an extender. If you were looking for an extender, you may want to consider the SR10000.

No, because you would need access to the public wifi settings to set the extender up.

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.

Quite close yes. But you can get a signal booster dirt cheap. This will extend the wifi signal significantly.

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.

No, I don't think so. You must set up the extender using your home WiFi settings. It extends your home WiFi network. If you move the extender to another location you will need to set it up based on that location's WiFi settings. I'm not sure it remembers each location's settings. You would be better off contacting Amped Wireless tech support.

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;-)

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.

Yes. If the extender detects that it has an ethernet cable from the router, it will become an AP (access point).

Yes it can, but the blocking of the wifi exclusively with the use of the rest of the device would not

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

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.

No. It is not considered a range extender. I have more than one and once paired to your Z wave hub it has a range (unobstructed) of 100'. Reality is the strength of your homes Wi-Fi can influence this devices capacities greatly.

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.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

It can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.
