Can I connect this ENH500 to A routers Ethernet port than send the signal 400 feet away to another ENH500 to share A friends connection to my house.

From your question, I am assuming that your friend has internet and you do not and that you want to share your friend's connection. If that is the case, then yes, you can connect the two. Your friend's ENH500 would be the access point and your ENH500 would be the bridge. The Ethernet connection at your friend's ENH500 would be plugged into their modem or router and your Ethernet connection would be plugged into your Internet connection on your computer or on your router (to give you WiFi).

Yes you can. I would recommend WDS Mode for transmission in a point to point fashion. You will need a small switch at the far end for connectivity.

That is what I did and it works well. The one you plug the ethernet cable into will send a signal to the other 3.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

Did you consider a range extender such as: Linksys - Wireless-N Range Extender with Ethernet Port, approx $60 or less? That may do the job.

In order to share the signal with other devices, you would need a NIC with an RJ45 jack in the PC with the AWUS036NH connected, then in Windows Control panel network section you would need to bridge the AWUS036NH connection with the wired NIC RJ45 ethernet connection, then connect the NIC RJ45 as the input to the wireless router. This should work although you might need to configure the wireless router as a repeater so that the router will not assign IP addresses.

This device isn't a splitter so you cannot use it that way. It is required to have one on each end of the ethernet run. To split an ethernet signal you would need a switch.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

Short answer is YES. Set the SSID of the access point to the same as the SSID of your existing router. Then as you move about the house with whatever PC you're using you should automatically connect to the one with the best signal.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.

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.

Yes, but the extenders work off of your main router and not each other. You could not, for example, extend the range by putting multiple extenders in a series. We have put one in our basement and one on the second floor. Both pick up the signal of the main router and give us better coverage. You do, however, have to rename one of the SSIDs for one of the extenders. By default, the extender sends an SSID of MYWIFI_EXT. The second extender would have to be renamed. Instructions for this come with the extender.

It can be done, but the best results would be if the main router is in the middle of the house and you use an extender halfway towards each end of the house from the middle. That way, the extenders wouldn't likely be picking up on the other extender's signal, but instead extending the original router signal.

Yes you can , but you need to buy separate wireless ethernet bridge adapter, they are available at amazon.

Sorry I can't help. This device did not meet my need. I can't remember now what I wanted it to do. I am doubtful that it would do much ethernet connecting. But please don't take that as fact
