I am living in a building with Password Protected Wifi, can I connect to this? Will it work with PC games like League of Legends?

You can use the Linksys AE1000 adapter will allow your computer to connect wireless to your network. Yes, it will work with PC games.

Yes, you can connect to any WiFi network with this, if you have the right credentials. Games: yeah, it works, but mine usually disconnected at least once a day or more and had to be reset. I eventually just hardwired my PC to the network, as I got really sick of the disconnects.

No, but that depends. It will connect to any WIFI router close to you, Like in a WIFI caf. But, not all of the time. I use mine at home and I do use my own wireless router. If there is an open / un-password protected WIFI router near where you are, it will work just fine.

No this is a firewall and VPN device. You would need to add an access point for WIFI.

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;-)

As long as they do not have crazy high complex authentications like Enterprise WPA2 PEAP you should be fine. My complex had such authentication requiring a username and password so this did not work (nor could I find any WISP router that works). Did work though to allow me to use someones Comcast WiFi without my wireless devices riding on his WiFi connection, only used his bandwidth for web use, not things like file transfers or WiFi printing.

yes it can pick up wifi signals....some places have passwords but restaurants and such allow access...

I connected it to a Windows XP PC and it worked without using the setup disk. Are you sure it's not asking for a wireless access point password. Sorry not much help. JB

Once you have connected and configured the device, you will be able to see all active Wi-Fi accounts within the range of the device. Hopefully, your neighbor has his or her Wi-Fi password protected to prevent people from getting free wi-fi. If you have an agreement with the neighbor to use his or her Wi-Fi, they will provide you a password to use to connect.

I connect in tower, it works great. My tower is not set up for wireless, so just plug into USB on computer.

honestly I am not sure. I use a wired connection. but you can purchase a wifi signal booster that plugs into usb, these usually have software built right in that works with windows to let u connect to any wireless signal within range.

Basically, yes. I have my unit in a retail location. It's plugged in to my switch which is connected to the firewall. I have it locked down with WPA2

I have used this unit in client mode before but only to make a PC wifi capable. The included instruction indicates that it can be used in this mode with smart TV's, media devices and game consoles to make them wifi capable but I have not tried it. You will need to configure the unit to client mode on a PC before you can connect it to the device.

You always have a connection to the internet unless you turn the computer off or go to hibernation, sleep mode is still connected and will still do updates and such. I am connected within 1 minute after entering my password. I guess I never paid that much attention to that though, and I'll just say that I cant tell that its a wireless connection. It connects just as fast as my gaming rig with a direct connection.never had a problem, and its been a year.

Yes it can. However, you will need to have a data plan with your provider to allow for such. With 8.1, you can use it to share a password protected signal without having to share the wi-fi password (such as you might have at your house).

It works perfectly in any wireless network, you just have to configure in settings the wifi you intend to connect and the repective password. Also works with Wifi networks at restaurants, Greyhound bus, hotels or where ever are free Wifi access.

Yes. Wifi would work. Considering its a strong dedicated signal, it should work well. Good luck.

I'm glad you contacted me because you should know that the N-50 doesn't work with wifi routers that require security passwords. You should be ok if you have an older router that doesn't require passwords, or if you are going to use a LAN hard wired connection. I had to send my unit back for a refund. As for your question I don't know, but one reviewer said the two sound very similar. Hope this helps. Phil
