Using Netgear N-600 dual band gigabyte wireless router (WNDR3700). Question - I need to extend the signal outdoors - is this compatible, plug/play?

Just need to run a cat 5 cable from your router to the AP and install the controller on your PC. No outlet needed outside because of the POE feature. Will not work as a wireless bridge from your Netgear. There are however several companies that have wireless repeaters and they work pretty well.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

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.

I put the Netgear N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender away from router, but within range of the router signal. You may need to adjust the range to get the best signal out to the rest of the house. This device works great in my house.

As I understand it,for extending you need a USB port on the router.This specific router doesn't have one.

As others have pointed out, this device requires drivers from Netgear, so I think this is not product to solve your problem. Have you considered moving your existing router to improve signal strength or adding a second router, I added a second wireless router and my dead zones were gone.

No, it will only "extend" existing wireless network generated from your existing router. I purchased one of these but returned it. I have a router with both 2.4G and 5G but the extender only picked up the 2.4G so mind did not work as advertised.Some folk have good luck with these but many of the complaints on the wed describe my situation with the device -- Hope this helps

Yes, definitely you will get great signal. Your speeds will be very similar as if you had your wireless needing device next to the router. Hopes this helps

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

My Netgear N600 proved to be inadequate for the purpose for which I was trying use. Probably because for the high density of the walls in our home. Good Luck

Your router needs to have a detachable antenna. That is the place where the Hawking signal booster hooks in. If it has this it should work. This is a wifi signal booster .

I don,t use routers. It will work but only at 300 baud. I would go for the 600b extender.

Yes, that is what it is for. However, you have to download the driver from a computer with internet connectivity FIRST for it to work. You can find the driver on Netgears website. Download the driver onto a SD card or USB stick. The simply install it on the computer you need wifi on, then hook up the netgear unit. Driver can be found here. http://support.netgear.com/product/WNA3100. Its easy breezy.

I'm using mine with a new Linksys AC router. I wouldn't count on across the street. Just took my Ipad outside and got to the middle of the street where I lost the signal. Depends on how many walls the signal has to go thru. As far as inside the house, it amplifies the signal wonderfully. I get great streaming on my laptop and on my TV, especially on the 5GHz channel. Much better than the el cheapo Netgear range extender I replaced.

I am not sure how to answer your question because it plugged in easily to my router, but the antenna was useless. I was told by my internet provider that a longer antenna would help with the internet reception in parts of my house that were not near the router, but it had no effect. I eventually had a booster router installed at several hundred dollars' cost for the unit and installation, and that works fine.

If you use wireless b/g and have a friend that can access the internet plus a clear line of sight between your location and your friends you could try TWO of these antennas (one at each location): http://www.amazon.com/2-4GHz-Square-Parabolic-Antenna-24dBi/dp/B000V0ONTI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1319236671&sr=1-2 Your friend would attach a cable from his wireless router's antenna connection to the antenna and aim it carefully at your antenna and you would run a cable from your wireless card to your antenna. If you want to broadcast the signal around your house then you would use a router that is capable of becoming a wireless repeater. You might also need a signal booster on each end like these: http://www.amazon.com/Hawking-HSB2-HiGain-Signal-Booster/dp/B0009MYSHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319237406&sr=8-1 Of course, you will probably need cable and poles to attach these antennas to. Keep in mind that the antennas have to be precisely pointed at each other, have to be outside (possibly on the roof) and there can be nothing blocking the view. Trees, hills, buildings all will block the signal. Good luck.

I have not changed the antenna on the unit. Why would you? Attempting to get broader coverage? Suggest experimenting with location of the Hawking Extender and the base router. Perhaps you need a more powerful router. You can add an additional Hawking Extender to increase the coverage. I have tried several extenders and this Hawking unit is the best I found for the price.
