In wireless repeater mode, can it repeat more that one network (multiple SSID)?

Yes, according to the Manual and specifications. Download the manual at http://www.tp-link.us/search/?categoryid=1047&keywords=901ND.

Yes it creates a new SSID with an RE extension. However you can clone your existing network to reflect the same name with -RE Eliminating confusion.

Yes, multiple SSID's and works great with VLAN's. You can also do a guest SSID if you don't use VLAN's and even customize a guest portal page.

There's a hard limit of 15 wireless devices connected at a time (http://www.amazon.com/gp/forum/cd/discussion.html/ref=cm_cd_al_tlc_cl?ie=UTF8&asi;n=B001FWYGJS&cdAnchor;=Mx1FVDUR7N0PCYX)

This one can use as repeater, so you can connect the other router through wifi to extend the coverage

Yes, in both AP and Repeater mode, the ports will connect a device to the network.

No, but not repeat the answers below, I bought the ea-n66u instead to add to my rt-ac66u running in repeater mode, works great ...also the ac router works so well, I get the same speeds on my repeater mode as I do on the ac router. I am waiting for 3 -9db extra long antennas and see what kind of reception I get. I have 68 DS even get 24 to 35 Meg's on my ipad 3 using this setup...not bad at all.

if its gonna be your main router than router mode, if you already have a wireless router and your wifi printer is to far away or doesnt work with it then repeater mode

No. But technically, the disk station won't be handling the wireless interface, that'd be your router which would be the bottleneck. http://www.synology.com/en-us/products/spec/DS1513+ lists the 4 ports on the DS are gigabit with link aggregation/redundancy Wikipedia lists 802.11 AC max speed is .866 Gbit and N at .150 Gbit Supposedly, max bit rate for 1080p is at 12 Mbit So all in all, I don't see any issue with that if link redundancy was setup to allow for multiple access with their own dedicated lines. What's clear is that wireless in general will be your biggest set back as that cap is reached before the gigabit cap. On top of that, depending on signal loss, you may have much lower speeds but not as low as 12 MBits/s I think; perhaps a wireless repeater to remedy that?

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

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.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

I don't think so. The repeater only picks up existing wireless and increases / repeats signal. I would have to recommend looking further into item description on website. good luck.

Yes - this router can act as a bridge. The manual refers to repeater with wireless client asociation, point to point bridge , multi point bridge modes. Start by shutting off it's DHCP server (only one should be active on your LAN).

Each device would give you a separate WiFi ID that you'd connect to, one at a time. No Sync, no rename. It works great for what it is though.

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.

Yes you can extend with this unit with the same SSID the setup in the UBNT unit is web based and very easy to follow if you wish to turn it in to a extender it will lock on your wireless and extend it the ssid and any security though it. I have not used the unit inside however only out doors in a point to point setup or extending to another outside building but as far as speed it will have no problems pushing 25mbs though the unit depending on signal strength
