Will this work with an Airport Extreme router? Not sure if I have a defective unit or if they do not work together.

Yes but I needed to call Yamaha support who were very helpful. Too confusing to figure out yourself.

I really don't know if it will work but, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I really love mine but, never thought about connecting it to my router. I might give that a shot!

From where I was at, it didn't work for me. You should go on the Comcast website and take a look at the router compatibilities. Be careful out there because they don't work in some areas. Good luck!

I have connected this device as a repeater, and the wired ports work fine along the wifi. This device also works as a wifi router, maybe you have misconfigured it?

If your router has a port for USB storage devices I think it should work. I do not have such a router to test with.

Yes, many routers have problems with ext. storage via USB, esp. USB 3.0 & large volume drives. I also had a problem with attaching USB 3.0 drive to AC1450. First you have to check it via USB 2.0. Or you have to attach a small USB drive and test it. Maybe resetting the router could help. Then you can try ddwrt firmware. The general problem, I think, is USB 3.0 interface in routers. 'Cause it fails to provide enough power to USB port. R8000, the latest model of Netgear routers, works great with ext. drives as per my recent tests. Just for your info.

Maryanne, I haven't used it yet, just got it a few weeks ago and haven't used it. I picked it up for small router not sure yet. When I do I will post..

I have another router set up on a table so I don't know which table would work best for this kit. I'm sure that you know this already but which ever table you decide to buy make sure that it has a universal adapter so that your router will fit properly to the table.

I have a fairly large house and my wifi signal tended to drop off in certain areas, so I added a second AirPort Extreme to extend my network. But, that actually "cuts the signal in half" in that configuration. Sorry, only a closet tech person so I am sure I just butchered this explanation. To get around this, I used the powerline kit. I plugged one in by my main airport and the other by my second airport. Ran Ethernet to each from the airport. Also made sure these were the only thing plugged into the outlet. On the second airport, rather than extend my network, I set it up as stand alone with the same netiwork name and password. It is setup as a roaming network. The primary airport provides the dhcp services and the second is setup in bridge mode. Google "two AirPort Extreme on same network" and there is a good apple support article about this. My network performance improved by a huge amount after I set this up.

Will this work if the circuit the router is plugged into is completely different that the one where I would want to plug in the repeater/extender?

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

it all has to do with your router compatibility and what type of connection it take. look at your book that came with your router and it will tell you what kind can be hook up with yours.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

Any USB wifi device works with airport extreme. Your only difficulty can be the computer system you use. If you still have an old system like Windows XP and you set up airport extreme to secure your network with a WPA2 password, it can be very difficult for any USB wifi device to work, and then keep working after you think you have it set up correctly. But all newer systems use any Netgear USB wifi device very easily - pretty much plug and play.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

Working Good with my Airport Extreme, I did have to up the Multicast mode to High on the Airport to stream 1080p mkv files over the wireless. Been working great ever since I did that.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.
