At the destination location, can I connect a wireless repeater to that antenna or must I first run it to an Access Point and then to the repeater?

The EZ Bridge is an all inclusive unit that is POE. So the network access comes right out of the network connection. So guess you could connect it directly to a repeater. Hope this helps?

I have plugged the antennae directly into a computer, into a hub, a wi-fi access point. I can't say for sure, but I think you could do that.

You will run your CAT5 with RJ45 connector from the EZ-Bridge Antenna to the Booster / Power supply provided by E-Z Bridge with your antennas and then plug it's RJ45 connecter into the Internet port on your repeater / router. May need to change IP address on your router. Just FYI :)

By default this set of antennas is in bridge mode. So the subnet is the same at the source as the destination. I don't see a problem to connect a repeater directly. I connected a switch and a wireless access point at the destination given the fact that my dhcp setup is handled at the source.

Hi Bob. IF you are going to use the TR-Link device as an Access Point then yes, connect it to your wireless router using a regular RJ45 (straight-through) Cat5 cable. Regarding the power, the device came with a power supply which sends power to the TP-Link over a Cat5 cable. Hope that helped!

You can only use this as a repeater if you already have an Ubiquity access point that is wired. Then you can add another as a repeater (up to 4 wireless). This will NOT work to extend (repeat) from another brand of wireless router or access point. It will only repeat another Ubiquity access point signal. On a brighter note this has such amazing coverage you may not need a repeater anymore. If you do I would recommend that you buy 2 of these plug one into your wired network then use the second one to repeat the signal (its called wireless uplink).

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

2. Hardwire connections are only for setup, once you set it everything is wireless you use the repeater for more than one device like computer, tablet and .1. You probably could use one repeater to repeat an existing repeater signal, but not with the same IP address. You should than use the first repeater and not your WiFi router to setup your 2nd repeater.

Hi Eduardo, are you referring to setting it up with separate wireless extenders or repeaters? If so, then the setup is actually done in the extender or repeater device, and it should be compatible with no issues.

You first connect the repeater to a computer with the Ethernet cable they give you already and connect to your Wi-Fi signal. then you can plug the repeater into your wall and it will work just like your normal Wi-Fi.

You need a radio repeater at this distance this radio repeat only 1 miles aprox

I am not sure..I have a windstream wireless router and connects to the engenius to extend my wireless. I live in a mobile home with an add on and the windstream does not go around the corner or through the metal siding. So, I needed to add the repeater.

yes you can. internet cable from router. and broadcast as repeater wireless.

Well ultimately it depends where you are and how far the closest repeater. I'm in the High Desert in California and I'm hitting the repeater 54 miles away with a simple magnetic car trunk antenna using a "cookie sheet" as a ground..lol. So any 2 meter ground should suffice..

You can use it as a client or access point. It can be set as a repeater via was. But that will only work with the m5 line of ubiquity equipment.

My Hawking antenna is connected to a wireless adapter card that is plugged into my computer. This card has two stick antennas sticking out of the back, and I unscrewed one to connect a 20-foot cable that also connects to the Hawking. The Hawking transmits to and from a wireless-N repeater that lives in the nearest end of the main house, and this repeater in turn retransmits and amplifies the wireless signal from the Linksys wireless-N router at the far end of the house. The router and the repeater both have built-in antennas, nothing to which to connect a cable/external antenna. Most wireless routers these days seem to have built-in antennas without connectors for external cables or antennas, but some are still available with external antennas. Go to www.microcenter.com or to www.tigerdirect.com, search for "wireless router N", and scan the pictures to look for those routers having "stick" antennas on their backs. Those antennas unscrew, exposing a connector to which you can instead attach a cable leading to your Hawking antenna. That said, I have no experience with any of those specific routers, so cannot recommend a particular one. I do recommend wireless-N rather than the obsolescent and slower wireless-B or -G, and also sticking with a major name brand rather than some less-expensive and less-supported "no-name" brand with poorer software and pseudo-English instructions. I hope this helps and that you get your system up and running with no difficulty.

yes as long as the provider you use for your phone service is on the frequencies this repeater uses ....850mhz and 1900mhz ... We are using ours with verizon ..A higher gain outside antennae would be good though .

I bought one but cannot get it to set up as a wireless repeater on an existing wireless network. Can anyone point me to success?

I was told by tech support on the phone to locate the unit close to the PC you'll be doing the unit setup on, and setup the unit. Once it is setup, you can relocate it to the place of your choice and run the initial part of the setup (the part where it detects wireless sources) and see what signal strength your relocated unit is broadcasting. If it is greater than 70% than you should be ok. My wireless source is located at one end of the house, and my amped repeater is about the mid-point of my house and I get excellent signal strength at the far end of the house. If you have trouble setting it up, by all means call their tech support number...the tech who helped me was GREAT!

I dont know, i thought i was ordering a wifi repeater but got an access point and i did not see a place to hook the external antenna to the unit.
