Alright. I had someone tell me this is an AP, and someone else told me it's a repeater. What is this little guy for? Thanks

The Ubiqiti Nanostation was designed as an AP. Ubiqiti is known for the quality of their antennas and that is the whole point of this "little guy," it can pick up signals from much further away than most wifi antennas. It can also be configured as a router. I have not tried to configure it as a repeater, but it might be possible.

Only with a wired connection, which actually makes it an AP rather than a bridge or repeater. It doesn't support that function natively. Also, the third-party firmware dd-wrt that would allow that function does not support this router. There may be another third party firmware that could allow it to work the way you want, but you're looking at some work getting it done. You would need good knowledge of networking most likely. If you require that feature then you would be better off looking into something that already has it built in, or that is supported by dd-wrt firmware.

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.

This device is not a wireless repeater. It only operates as a wireless router.

I saw no speed drop (and my son IS a gamer). I set the repeater up with a different name so I would know which I was hooking to. I often link inside and then walk to a more distant spot and I want to make my initial hookup be to the spot I know will be stronger where I will be doing most of my work. In specific, in my living room, both signals are equally strong. If I walk to my back yard, I can get both, but the original modem is very weak and the repeater strong. However, my computer won't change to the stronger signal automatically. I will thus set the repeater up as my network of choice. A new name makes it easier. My kids requested both passwords be the same. I saw no speed drop (and my son IS a gamer). I set the repeater up with a different name so I would know which I was hooking to.

For that purpose I have to use a repeater. Since I share my 4G Internet with this device through my LAN that´s the best use for this Device in my case.

Look I'm not a expert. But this is an extender which extends the signal from your access point.You better call Amped Wireless, they are friendly and professional.

The repeater needs its own power supply (and it was not included with mine) its function is to pass forward the RGB signal from the previous string so that your strings stay in sync while providing power for the second string.

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.

Clarification of terms:A wireless access point connects via ethernet cable to a router (or switch). The wireless capability of that router (if it has any) is not relevant. Your wifi devices then talk to the AP.A wireless repeater connects (via wifi, no wire) to an existing wireless network (such as provided by a wireless router) to extend the latter's range. Throughput is halved.This is an AP, not a repeater. Yes, you can set this up as an AP with the same SSID as the Asus RT-N66U. You'll have to run a cable between the two. It will not connect wirelessly to the router. Clarification of terms:A wireless access point connects via ethernet cable to a router (or switch).

I'm not an advanced techie to totally know what your talking about, but my guess is it's an extender. It is tied to existing WiFi network with its password but I also give it it's own net name and password.

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've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

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.

It has the ability to be setup as a repeater, but that isn't the best use. In the best case scenario, it is a radio only. They sell a nanostation that can receive a wifi network and create an Ethernet port

No and no. This a repeater it repeats your wifi connection stronger in your house. This is not a portable booster for wireless it is a reaper.

You can use it for either. If you use it as a 'repeater' it shows up the exact same way as it would if you were hooking up to your existing WiFi network. If you use it as a 'bridge' it uses your existing WiFi to create a new WiFi network. Both ways work fine.
