will this increase the range of a asus rt-n66u or similar routers connecting to 802.11g devices?

Yes, definitely. I own the Asus RT-N66U Dual Band router (often called the "Dark Knight") and this is what I've attached to mine. Stronger WiFi signal strength and much greater range was immediately noticed. Previously, I couldn't effectively use my downstairs Sony Blu-Ray DVD WiFi features before I installed them. With these 3 online, my Living room TV is now a happy streaming movie theater.

I have noticed an increase in range for g devices. I'll admit the increase for all devices were not dramatic by any means... but it was there.

They should be compatible check the gain of the installed antennae (measured in dbi) the higher the number the better.

The RT-N53 has two modes of operation where it could be considered a bridge, access point and repeater. If you connect the RT-N53 by wire to the other Asus router, then it can act as an access point for that other router. It can also be a repeater for the other router if you want to extend the range of a pre-existing wireless network.

Correct. In combination with ASUS RT-AC66U (and other Asus routers I would suppose), the setup can be done wirelessly, too.

Yes. "N" adapters are almost always downward compatible with a, b & g signals. You shouldn't have any problem. And, when you eventually upgrade to an "N" or even "AC" (pending new standard) wireless router, it will send/receive at much faster bit rates.

To get an accurate answer you'll need to provide specifics regarding your 802.11 factory device. Ultimately, the speed of your communication flow will be limited by your service connection speed.

probably. this router is junk, imo. look into the asus or netgear as alternatives

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

The USB-N53 is a great wireless adapter. My wife uses it on her laptop to connect to our ASUS RT-N56U on the 5 ghz band. She gets great speed and reliable connection all the time. The only thing you should be aware of is that the USB-N53 does not support the upcoming AC standard like your AC68U does. I don't know if ASUS has any AC-ready adapters as of yet. 30-35 feet is not significant unless you have walls in between you and the router. 5ghz does not go through walls as well as 2.4ghz so take that into consideration when planning things out.

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

Yes it will, however signal strength de pens on the distance from the TP-LINK TL-WR720N to the garage. If you already have a wireless device the TP-LINK TL-WR720N may be used to extend the range of the existing device. Please note the stronger the security the shorter the range. If you require a stronger reception range use the TP-LINK TL-WN822N for even better results. ( the TP-LINK TL-WR720N only has two LAN ports)

Maybe, but I doubt that it would do you much good. One problem is that instead of "amplifying" your current network, this device creates a new network called "Wireless-Repeater," which requires a separate login and can create overlap conflicts with your existing wireless router network. So I suppose two of these things could overlap with each other. The unit never worked for me. I solved my range problems by upgrading to an 802.11ac (DOCSIS 3.0) wireless router. In any case, there must be better wireless range extenders from Amazon as well.

it is about same be aware I run ddwrt most of time or merlinwrt which is a slightly modified asuswrt factory firmware dont try to raise the transmit power big nono the chipset is amplified after the transmiter chip so increasing transmit power will do nothing but fry the booster / amplifier causing wireless to no longer function. Best option for increasing range is to get better antennas and to use good cables preferably LMR400 low loss and like 15dbi outside antennas 3 of each to be exact and keep cable length to a minimum to get less signal loss. Cheap antennas found on amazon / ebay tend to be garbage and are often 90% no better than the oems and often worse. it is about same be aware I run ddwrt most of time or merlinwrt which is a slightly modified asuswrt factory firmware dont try to raise the transmit power big nono the chipset is amplified after the transmiter chip so increasing transmit power will do nothing but fry the booster / amplifier causing wireless to no longer function.

Asus Laptops do not only connect to Asus routers. If your Laptops WiFi support's 802.11(b,g, or n) and the router does too, then yes! If your laptop and any router have WiFi and are fairly new then the chances are very good. they should be compatible, whatever the Brand.

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

That really depends on your wifi setup. If you have a setup that is set to use low power, and you have many walls/floors between the two points, you may experience difficulty reaching the wireless controller from your router. One way to test is to take your laptop/tablet/smartphone to the controller location and see if you can locate your router wifi connection. If you can reach the signal that way, you should have no problem with the 828LM connecting.

It did with my AC68U. I was able to get a usable signal outside my house whereas before these as could not.You'll see improvement with 2.4Ghz but not so much with 5Ghz.
