You can plug the wireless range extender into the powerline adapter with an ethernet cable to broadcast wifi.

This is not a wifi device, it is a bluetooth device. I have never heard of a range extender for bluetooth devices, but they may exist.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

The TP Link works as an extender to your [already] existing WiFi connection. In other words, you not only need the modem to generate the connection; you'll also need a router to disperse the connection wirelessly. Finally, the extender takes the wireless connection from your router, which in turn takes its connection from the modem, and moreover expands the WiFi in areas of your home that before weren't penetrable by the router's range alone.Hope that helps.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Let's see if I completely understand your question. The base powerline adapter is connected directly to your modem, all other remote powerline adapters are connected over your home powerlines to the base adapter. You could put your wireless router on a remote powerline adapter and it would be like you were hardwired to your modem. That is exactly what I have in my home. I put a wireless router upstairs for better coverage of the entire house. My incoming modem is in the basement. Is that what you would like to do?

I never try to connect my router to the power line adaptor but the principal is the same. This device is like an extension from your cable modem physical ports. You can connect anything on one of this devices if the other is connected to a modem my only concer is the lost of speed. This is not perfect. I got 50Mb services and i only get half os the speed on my TV, the distance and interferences has to do with this. Good luck.

I use wifi extender, to boost the range. Just set it up as you would as wireless adapter, then when it is done. Your wireless phone/devices will pick this one up when it is near.

Sorry but no it can not. This unit, as all of our extenders, will only connect to the network via a wireless signal. If you need to connect to the network via a LAN port than you need an access point like the AP300 or AP20000G.

Depends on the router. If your router is too far away, then you can always purchase a linksys plwk400 powerline wi-fi access point kit to extend wi-fi to area of home where the wemo and other wi-fi devices need better wi-fi signal. Here is link on amazon for the linksys plwk400 product pageLinksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

you would need access to the router, either to initially set up this range extender by using the wps buttons on the router (if available) and the range extender, or else have the password to light in to the router's network, but the latter is a lengthier process than the former and doesn't seem to work as reliably.

No. This product is not a range extender. It is used to convert a computer without the AC protocol to AC. The problem is probably with your router

Yes, you need what we call the base unit like (TP-LINK TL-PA211 AV200 Mini Powerline Adapter) . the base unit is the one you plug in the electricity outlet near your router and you connect it with the router by a RJ cable . after that you can plug the WPA281 (the one you already have it) in any electricity outlet in your home and you will have both Wifi signal plus a cable connection option.

This not a modem this is an AP. But what you are intending would work if you connect this to your modem through a LAN cable and use the wireless SSID from netgear. I believe that you will still have to use your modem and are talking about the "weak" wireless connection through your modem. So in this case your modem is acting as modem + wireless router. Also check other high strength routers or may be amplifiers if you just want that. There should be a comparison for strengths of routers somewhere. I use this in my apt so cannot comment on the range.

Yes that is right, you can just plugin in to an outlet but the extender needs to within range of the router to extend the signal ever further. You will need to install the cd to a wireless computer to activate the extender.

It must be powered from the POE and connected to the router via cat5/6. It sounds like you may be looking for a range extender, but the throughputon those will be much lower due to their nature (having to receive/transmit radio signals simultaneously).

I honestly don't know. But I do know it did the trick. We had awful wifi throughout the house - even after Comcast boosting signal. We got this - a few TP-LINK N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WA850RE) - and the signal is strong throughout the entire house - all 3 floors.
