does this work for d-link routers only, or bossts any wifi signal

This connects to any wireless modem all you need is the password if it is a locked network. The reason I like this USB based device is that it works as plug and play with Linux, or most linux distros. Some info on routers; Range booster is a marketing phrase by D-Link. Any wireless router will if set up correctly allow a user to have wireless connections to a modem. A lot of info can be learned about routers as well as best routers to modify via firmware; http://www.dd-wrt.com

It is my understanding that it works for any. If it fits into the slot, it will work. Free wifi is available in many places though! ;-)

You can connect this to any router or wifi hot spot. I have 2 of these and use them to get N access on the 5ghz range on my dual band router at home. They are small and easy to use.

I am not sure. I have as a main modem (802.11n wireless). I only use the D-Link extender for the remote areas of my home on a Tablet. I do not notice any difference viewing movies for example, if that helps. 5ghz ? you are over my head sir.

Yes it Will Create Wifi Signal for any device with WIfi PC, Tablet, Cel Phone, Laptop, etc.

Can't help you with that one. I use it to simple send a stronger signal to a router in another building and it works good.

Sorry for previous answer...wrong product... Same idea, but can connect to any wifi signal it can reach, provided you have credentials to connect. Device connects directly to what you want to bring the signal to via USB

It doesn't make any difference who the wireless carrier is, what you want is a signal that is wireless {N} compatible. Also the distance and obstructions must be considered. What I did was email the support group at NETGEAR. Just go to their website at www.netgear.com. They really helped me. HOPE THIS HELPS!

I have a Gateway PC. All I did was plug my little adapter in and it recieved wi fi from 2 dfferent wi fi modems, mine and my sons next door. If you have to password for the modem, it works. I didn't even use the cd. And they are differet name brand modems.

No, this is only a router. The dual band refers to the frequency of the wifi signal.

I have a Cisco Linksys wireless router. It works great.. Everyone I know is easily connected when they come to my house with their ipads, etc...

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

No, it will pick up the WiFi signal, amplify it and resend it. However, I am not satisfied with this product. It did not solve my weak signal problem and then I couldn't get it to make a connection at all. Both Netgear support and my router mfg. support said it is the others problem. I now have it disconnected and remain with very poor and weak WiFi signal 80 feet away from the router.

Yes, it does work, range is poor both because of the 5Ghz propagation characteristic and the relatively low power output of the design. Be sure you have only one DHCP server in your network.

I have Verizon Quantum router. If you connect using Ethernet it will drop your range signal on anything that is wireless. It does work but we have a lot of laptops and tablets.

I don't recommend to buy anything from Linksys (it is not stable at all even you do upgrade firmware, wifi connection is terrible as well). You definitely should reconsider and check something from D-Link (for example D-Link DIR-655).

I have a different model of router as well, but it is an Actiontec from Verizon and the signal booster works with it. Just screw off the stick antenna On the router and replace it with the cable from the signal booster,

Yea I believe any router will work with this. Once you connect it to a router by Ethernet cord the wifi should start running after you set it up
