All the network items like routers that I've bought from Amazon are the most current versions. No guarantees of course, but they move so much inventory I can't imagine they would still have old versions lying about.

Does anyone know if the v3 is what is being sold on Amazon? I have two and need a third and, thanks to a Christmas GC, I'd like to use Amazon but can't seem to see any description that helps me to make that call.

Eh, when I purchased a WPN824 from Amazon in April 09, I got a v2 instead of a v3. Didn't realize it at the time, but that means no QoS and no repeating. Very frustrated now, too late to return it, don't make the same mistake!

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...

What you want is the version 3 of the WPN824NA If it says WPN824v3 it will repeat.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people.What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

I bought this router from Costco and after having lots of problems with it for several weeks, returned it to Costco for a Refund and went back to my old router. Routers seem to be the electronic device that seems to be operating in a last century mode. I still want to buy a new one, but am wary about Netgear models. I personally would NOT recommend this model.

I am having trouble connecting my netgear 900 router in replace of my white tenda wireless router, any suggestions? It always shows no connectivity when I finish plugging in all the cables.

Netgear claims that you can add additional devices, but when I tried to add 2 more they didn't work. I'm going to try with TP-Link and see if I can get additional devices to work. Some people report getting devices from different manufacturers to work together, but Netgear won't even work with their own devices.

I would suggest a similar setup like the one I have.It's doing what you want.There is an option for the repeater to either use the incoming signal for WiFi or Ethernet.In my situation I went with Ethernet but you can set WiFi.See my review. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH7JFVDQHJWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00HQ883QW

This is Mini Pocket Router for wireless internet. The function is the same as internet router. You have to have wifi adapter for your device (computer or game player), if needed.

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.

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?

HI, this is a power line adapter, IT does not have a wifi repeater or AP function. Your wireless signal will not be increased because this is a pure wired solution to extend your network range. If you want a power line solution to extend your wireless, I suggest something else.A powerline adapter that extends your wireless range, check out this kits on amazon: TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT ADVANCED 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, AV500 Powerline Edition.

Are you hooking up to DSL or Cable? Do you have a modem from your provider for your service? If you already have a modem, then all you need is the router that you purchased, plugged into the network jack on that modem. If you do not have a modem, you need to either contact your provider and find out what modems they recommend. In this case, you have the choice of renting a modem from your provider, or purchasing one of the modems that is on the list of their supported devices. The Motorola 2247-N8 Wireless DSL Modem works with my AT&T service and acts as BOTH the Modem and the Router. With this device, your Netgear wireless router becomes redundant and unnecessary. I hope that this has answered your question about your need of a modem. Simply, if you do not have a modem, you need one. Check with your service provider for a list of supported devices, or to rent one of theirs.

well ..for me it didn't worked at all. I couldn't setup that damn thing at all and couldn't get support from ubiquity either.came bricked. But from specs i don't think it's designed to be used this way (repeater). If you wire-daisy-ching with another router it shouldn't be a problem having the same SSID. For complete wireless repeating purposes i've used Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L (with dd-wrt)

I have had Belkin, Netgear, and Linksys (linux software) routers and by far the Linksys is the most stable. Both Netgear routers died after a year or two and went to electronic recycling. Their (non)support was non-existent and I will never buy another Netgear product. The Belkin seems to work but with limited range. Linksys is a workhorse! Easy to setup and program. It does occasionally loose sync, but will run for months unattended. I suspect it loses sync when wireless devices (I have 5) wake from sleep and require an ip address but I'm not sure. It's just a matter of unplugging the power, waiting 5 seconds and replugging. Always does the trick. I've bought a second (used, non VxWorks) for a relative.

Simply plug it into a wall socket. Then on your laptop, desktop or whatever your using open a web browser. Then click on your network icon and select Geeya_R303. Then in the address bar type in the following: http://192.168.10.1 That will take you to the configuration page for the mini router. There are 4 modes to choose from: Router, Repeater,AP and WISP. Also supports WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA/WPA2 security encryption. Hope this helps. I am using mine as a repeater and it's working just fine.

No. It works as a wireless router and has no feature to work as a wireless repeater.

This has wireless built in. If you're looking for a repeater, I would recommend Amped Wireless. Remember that if you're repeating wirelessly, you lose 50% of the speed on each jump.

Not very familiar with a repeater, sorry. But the NETGEAR AC1600 that I have has been flawless. I have a 1600 sq ft. (on the first level) and I have the router in the basement and I have full bars all throughout the house, it has been the best router I have had so far.
