does router support access point mode so i could use it in conjunction with my main router as a wifi signal extender, connected over ethernet not wifi

I am not 100% sure but I think it does, I does a lot, I use a belkin as my range extender with this as my primary one I am quite happy with it. I has been restarted once! in the last 6 weeks!

I believe so. I have no wifi but using this provides wifi in conjunction with hard wired internet.

It does have an access point mode, but it requires that you run a cable from the WAN port into one of the LAN ports. I don't want to give up a LAN port, so I just leave it in router mode, assign a static IP address, and turn off DHCP. It generates an internal notification that it can't connect to the Internet, but it otherwise works as you would expect, providing a second wireless access point on your network.

what exactly do you want to do? If you mean like an access point. No it does not work like that. Buy a regular router instead. Buy this one instead D-Link Wireless N 300 Mbps Home Cloud App-Enabled Broadband Router (DIR-605L)

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

If your current Internet MODEM has wifi built into it no this is not a wireless bridge. This plugs into your modem with Ethernet and then creates a wifi zone in your home/office. This is a router with a wifi access point built in. If you need to extend the wifi that is built into your modem search for a wifi range extender. But don't expect the same performance. Extenders are effectively half the performance of the first wifi device.

Short answer: no. Read on for the long answer. xaric, you are a bit harsh. Mode 1 is documented in the manual. An AP doesn't typically do NAT, they just pass data to the router, and the router does the NAT. Over here:

Yes, depending on your configuration, you may have to configure this DSL as a bridge and use your wireless router as a router or leave the DSL modem as a router and configure your wireless router as a WIFI access point. you have flexibility with two configuration choices.

If I remember right there was a selection for bridged mode in the setup wizard. The other thing I changed was I turned off NAT and let my WIFI router handle NAT. The only other concern is that the modem will still use 192.168.1.1 as a LAN port address. You want a different address range for your WIFI router that the modem.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

If you need an access point, then look for an access point. This is a wireless bridge, used to connect local devices that may not have wireless capability, to your access point. I was using it to connect several ethernet devices to my access point, but 7t was too hard to configure and maintain, so I returned this bridge.

Yes, that is possible. From the manual: "5.1.2.2 Enable Universal Repeater Mode The router can act as Station and AP at the same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage."

As I understand it,for extending you need a USB port on the router.This specific router doesn't have one.

Sorry I'm not sure. I've never used it as an access point. I only bought it to upgrade my desktop to 5g

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

Yes. You can use them with a standalone router. It just needs to be able to see the DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point. You only need to have the controller running if you use the guest services portal. Otherwise it is really a configuration utility not a controller. Hope that answers your questions!!

Not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish. Does the router that it's sync-ing with have wireless capability? I would assume the router doesn't have wireless thus the need for this AP and connecting it to the router via an Ethernet. HOWEVER, the basic answer is that this device will use the Ethernet port to connect to the Router.

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.
