How easy the setup is? Can I connect the extender to the router with Ethernet cable and then good to go?

Designed to connect to existing wifi router and extend wifi range. There is no need to connect to router with Ethernet cable. Connect to computer with Ethernet cable away from router and follow the installation instructions to setup the wifi connection to your existing wifi router.

Easy to set up, all u need is ur router password. Since it is wireless, you do not use a cable. I set mine up at a mid point between my router and the "dead zone", works great.

Theres pretty easy directions (to follow). I imagine if you're using it wired, you wont have some of the problems that other people (including myself) are having with its wireless properties. I'm going to retire mine and buy a wifi access point instead. So, basically, USED EDIMAX -7228APn for sale! From what you explained, however, all you really need is a switch http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SF1005D-5-port-100Mbps-Desktop/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393451147&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+switch for $10.

It just extends the Ethernet over the power line, I connected the other end to a wireless access point, no problem.

Am a little technically challenged but I think first choice would be to run cat-5 cable, second would be the adapter (as long as the room holding the adapter is on the same electrical panel and third would be the extender.

Depends on what you mean by "Wifi extender". Think of this device (it takes two of them) as replacing a piece of cat-5 or cat-6 cable, using the power line as a way to create a data link. There is only an RJ-45 (network cable connecter) on each unit. Plug one in the wall at one place and connect your internet source, i.e. router to it. Plug a second unit into a wall outlet somewhere else in your house or office and connect your PC or printer to the RJ-45 on that unit. Go through the simple sync procedure and that's it. There is no other intelligence in these.

Hi Betty, I am not clear on exactly you are asking I guess. You should be able to take this router, connect it to your cable modem with the supplied cat5 cable and then run the setup with no problems. This is about as universal as you can get and will worth the price. Super impressed with the router so far. Hope that helps.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

Are you asking exending the extender? Not sure. But the way you set it up you may be able to. But you just wanted to use in one part of your home and another in another part of your both extending off your router I would say yes.

The extenders are to connect 2 HDMI devices eg. Your computer HDMI port to your TV. You require 2 cat5 or Cat 6 cables to do this but at no moment do you connect any of these cables to your router or an ethernet switch. The cable are independant from any ethernet network

We are running this router on a DSL line. We did this configuration some time ago, but I remember you needed a computer with wired access via an Ethernet port to configure it. I had to borrow someone's laptop to do it as my laptop did not have the necessary port. The instructions were in the manual that did not come with my device, but I was able to find them online. It was a relatively easy setup as I remember.

I don't have that setup but I imagine it would work. If you connect it to your router in one room and then the 2nd unit in another room, you get an ethernet jack which is now direct to your router connected via your home wiring. The question would be how you would connect or split the cable ethernet to existing sevice and to where you want to add service. I hope this helps.

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.

I would look into getting a power over Ethernet setup, these wireless range extenders don't work very well

My Cisco Linksys Factory Refurbished RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender works great. You have to set it up with ethernet first, but for some reason, the wireless computers I have in that side of the house simply work with it. It really extends the wireless connection. I went from one to two bars to four bars on all devices. With one non wireless computer, I had to plug the Wireless-N Range Extender to the computer's ethernet. The computer detected it, but it dids not detect the main router (I use a linksys N900). I disconnect the RE100 from the ethernet, took it to near the N900 router, pressed went back to my computer, pressed the little button on the USB wireless device, ran to the router and pressed the reset on the router, and the connection was established. I didn't have a hard time with the other devices connected to the internet. The ER1000 seems to work with them without me doing anything.

My extender is linked with Netgear router. I do have a linksys router in another location that I use with a linksys extender and that is very good as well. I made the choice to match router and extender to the same brand and I am pleased with the results.

Sorry, I don't know. I had a problem with the router on first floor and my Tv in the basement where the signal strength was poor. I used the D-Link wireless extender to get a better strength on the signal. However I do not think you can do a serial extender setup.

As Atul and Thomas just said, you need to attach it to your router with an ethernet cable. And by the way, once you have done that, set-up is simple. And reliable: I have been using this device to manage a usb disk just like a NAS (network attached storage) and it has been working without any problem. Over the past two years with the computers of my network (windows XP and windows 7) sharing the disk through the home network.
