Can I use a second wireless router in the same area without interference? Already have a Cisco WRT120N connected to wired system as access point.

Yes, I would just make sure you use different channels, preferably 3 or more channels apart, to avoid in band interference.

Use channels 1, 6, or 12 to avoid overlap on the wireless-G 2.4 Ghz range. Most devices still don't utilize the wireless-a 5 GHz range. I am a network engineer BTW.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

Hi, West. Yes, you can set two seperate networks with this router. If you need assistance, just click here: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app;=vw&vw;=1&login;=1&json;=1&docid;=3b75609b0a90465db6229e7b2fb3942b_21449.xml.

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.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

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

Yes, there is the option in the router console to set it up as a wireless repeater, though I don't have personal experience with using it in that capacity.

It can interfere with other devices on the 2.4 ghz range. Make sure your wireless router is not in the same room as the device as it'll certainly cause issues. Dual-band routers that utilize the 5.0 ghz range won't have the same issue.

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.

Question is not construct well. If you want to add only another wifi receiver you can with ease. ~ Mark Tahiliani

FYI - a cheaper solution is to buy a cheap used wireless router and set it up as a wireless bridge. I purchased one used for $29.99 . I now have my bd-p1600 hardwired to the bridge and it works great.. I am using dd-wrt on both..

You can create a WAN with the two routers. It is not straight forward to set up but we have done it.

You should dump all your other AP and use the UniFi as the primary unit connected to your main router. It comes with excellent wireless controller software that is very full featured and one unit per floor should cover an average home. The units load balance and self update automatically.

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.

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.
