Can This router be use as a repeater?

I do not believe so but either way do not recommend using this router at all. A repeater will cut the bandwidth in half so expect slower speeds on the devices connected to the repeater. There is another model Netgear 300 that is a repeater by design, works well but bandwidth and speed are cut in half. I recommend using Power Line Adapters. I use the Actiontec 500. Love them.

Yes, there is the option in the router console to set it up as a wireless repeater, though I don't have personal experience with using it in that capacity.

I use it as a wired access point Call Netgear and have them walk you through the set up

Yes, but buyer beware, I connected this as a repeater and it gave me barely usable speeds regardless of my range, I contacted Sabrent and the shipped me a replacement immediately (great customer service) but unfortunately the replacement unit yielded the same results.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

Yes, but keep in mind every repeater you add will degrade your wireless bandwidth.

No this definitely wouldn't be powerful enough for that on its own.... You'd need to add a high gain antenna and a signal booster... However that's cheaper than a higher grade repeater

I'm not sure - all I can tell you is that the repeater appears as a separate router with a different login and password. Hope it helps.

I presume that what you are asking is if this can work as an access point or as a repeater. If that is your question, that yes it can be configured that way. If I missed what you really want to know, please ask it again.

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

Really, these repeaters work best if they are halfway between the original wireless router/access-point and the client device.If you put it in the workshop, it may not pick up the router any better than your PC.If you put it in your house, it may not be any stronger than the original router.My 2c would be to install it in/very close to a window facing your workshop.That way, it will hve a strong signal from the router, and will present the best possible signal toward the workshop.

Yes the device can work as an extender. I can't verify how good it works but I have tested that ability. I got a few hundred feed from the repeating device and it was working/allowing network access.

Yes it works but like all Repeaters, additional overhead is introduced so the maximum thruput can only be approx 80-85% of the primary communication rate. I have never had a problem mixing brands in this type of application. Although keeping with like model would be best.

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

You can use this as a repeater to extend an already established network but there are cheaper and easier ways to do this and unfortunately, this will cut your bandwidth in half. You can use it as a bridge which is how I am using an R6250. It connects wirelessly over the 5GHz band to an R6300 and provides ethernet hook ups for three computers without effecting bandwidth since it is not providing wireless connections.

In repeater mode it is just extending the network you already have so it is pretty straight forward. It is a good idea to access the setup to make sure it is properly configured however.

Unfortunately, this is High Power Router not an extender. If you were looking for an extender, you may want to consider the SR10000.

FYI - I was using mine as a repeater and ended up returning it due to constant loss of connection with my main router. Every day I had to reboot it, and by the following morning one section of the house was offline. after a week of that BS I sent it back for a refund.

I believe you can. There are at least 4 ways it can work. Repeater mode in my opinion is easiest requiring no setup except a password. And hey, for 25$ you ought to try one out. I bought 2, one to extend range in house via wifi repeater. And one to act as a wireless modem in my shop via a cat5 wire. both set up very easily in repeater mode. The wizards work well.
