The extender appears to extend the range, but why would the speed drop from 35mps to 10mps?

My router and extender are in 2 different buildings roughly 150' apart. I can stream video without buffering and internet speed is very good. Been using this unit for about 5 years now. Setup can be a little confusing. Just check and recheck that extender settings match with routers settings. The smallest of adjustments make all the difference. Don't just use the quick settings. Use the manual settings to check.

If set up properly, the extender works well, extending the range and maintaining the same speed as the router. My problem has been IP conflicts between the router and extender. So long as my wi-fi devises connect to the extender and not the router, I am fine and speeds are maintained, including streaming video to devises far from the router through the extender.

Seriously, don't waste your money on this. I just finally trashed mine after years of frustration.

Hi Robert, to get the best performance from the extender, we recommend that you place it halfway between the area you wish to cover, and the main router providing the signal. If you place it next to the desktop where the main router is located, it won't extend the connection any further than the main router. Whether it will reach the opposite end of your home, when set up correctly, depends on how big your home is :) However, this is one of our top of the line extenders and is designed to provide superior range and coverage,

To be totally honest...have no idea. Wish I could have been more helpful. But I'm def going to be buying a more powerful one as the netgear one that I have isn't doing the job as I have way tooooo many wireless "things" working off that one router, even with the extender, still no good. Not sure which one I'm getting. Good luck

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

I don't believe so. I had to go about 20 feet but through an external wall and could not get a signal. I wound up just hard-wiring the Extender, running a cable from the source to the extender. The other thing to note here is that I'm not sure I agree that it's an "extender"... it simply started another network. So... with an ethernet cable and any wireless router, you could do the same thing.

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!

You first need to set up a home network. That is done using a wired Ethernet connection through your modem & router. Once that's set up, then the extender can be configured using the correct router settings. Natalie, this unit is used only to extend your existing network range.

I noticed the closer to the router the speed was faster. You might want to consider moving the router closer to the location you are watching the streaming.

I have an earlier model of this kind of netgear router and the issue could also be the mode its broadcasting in. I have a 50mbps(which i get went physically hooked in) plan and my wireless was capping out at 15(depending on the mode i could get up to 30), so when i checked there were modes of broadcasting to how fast it would transmit.

Without getting too technical, can someone explain why it does not work with the 9000 series? Is there an extender available for those (I own KX-TG9392T)? Alternatively, is there a 2 line system that does work with a range extender?Finally, is there an alternate solution to getting broader coverage? Thanks.

I bought one and the hawkings route showed no signal at all!!!!!!!you want to buy it from and try? let me know, cheapso i bought a hawkings extender dish HAO14SDP , working over 400 ft. though brick house, strength varies from 7-40 % all the time, must have router with signal strength to be able to point the antenna It will drive you nuts not knowing strength of signal, PC doesnt show extender router strength, shows that it is connected but can be at low level and not connect. hope this helps.glenn

It is supposed to extend both 2.4 and 5GHz but mine would only see the 2.4GHz band. I ended up returning mine. Also I would not the range on these devices is not near that of a normal wireless router. It is not a bad little device but if you have big expectations for additional range you may be disappointed.

Move it back to your original location and see if you have connectivity. Another method to troubleshoot is to leave it where it is, bring your computer within close proximity, scan and see if you see the SSID of the extender, (you should have named it something other than the SSID of your router, ex: ssidname-ex). If you don't see it when scanning for available networks, then you probably have a bad/failed extender. If you do see it, connect to it, possibly with the default password if your established password doesn't work. Hope this helps.

Hello Stanley, I am not using extenders fro 3D, but I can say every J-Tech product I've purchased has worked as advertised. And still works:-)

The specific range is not stated in the owner's manual, but a You Tube video contained speed test results at 25, 50, and 75 feet. The owner of the router determined that speed dropped off at 75 feet, which in his case was outdoors and through several walls of the house. There are separate range extenders available for ranges up to 10,000 feet, but the prices are fairly high, (almost $400.). My person experience with the Belkin N150 router is that it works perfectly throughout my 3-story house and in my back yard. Hope this was helpful.

I am not using any extenders still I get 100 mbps about 50 feet away. It should support, If you not using everything together.

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
