Can I plug this into my NETGEAR WiFi range extenders I have in my garage which is away from my house so I can have better cell phone signal

I would think so as long as it is receiving the wifi signal. We like ours a lot. We have two homes and take it back and forth.

You also have to have a caveat on the rang extender to recurve an Ethernet connection

Yes. I've had very good luck using a powerline-type wi-fi extender. The unit just needs an Ethernet jack to connect to.

Yes it will, however signal strength de pens on the distance from the TP-LINK TL-WR720N to the garage. If you already have a wireless device the TP-LINK TL-WR720N may be used to extend the range of the existing device. Please note the stronger the security the shorter the range. If you require a stronger reception range use the TP-LINK TL-WN822N for even better results. ( the TP-LINK TL-WR720N only has two LAN ports)

I'm not sure I understand but if you mean in your yard, then yes. I have unplugged it from one area of our house and plugged it in an outlet out back and we still had wifi on our iphones. Your extender just has to be near enough to your original source of wifi to pick it up. Your other devices have to be near enough to your extender. I don't think this is for driving around in a car though. You have to plug the extender somewhere where it can still pick up your original signal.

Yes, but the extenders work off of your main router and not each other. You could not, for example, extend the range by putting multiple extenders in a series. We have put one in our basement and one on the second floor. Both pick up the signal of the main router and give us better coverage. You do, however, have to rename one of the SSIDs for one of the extenders. By default, the extender sends an SSID of MYWIFI_EXT. The second extender would have to be renamed. Instructions for this come with the extender.

I have a garage about 30 feet detached from the house. This router would not reach with a usable signal very well.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

I'm not aware of a range extender. I had the same thought as given in the previous answer, install the base unit on the first floor. Or, try moving the base unit to a different place in the basement.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

No it is power line communications only. If have problems with communication in your garage then install an extender which has both RF and power line communications. If you have any light switches in your garage or other insteon devices and they are dual band then you shouldn't need an extender.

Yes you should, but it really depends on the construction of your home and how "WiFi unfriendly" it is. If you have standard wooden floors than it shouldn't be a problem, but if you have something like concrete (as an example), this is very bad for WiFi signals.

The short answer is "No." The extender is to be placed at the outer limit of the coverage range of the wireless router. The link between the two is more easily completed if they are close together during the setup, but then in order to extend the range, they must be placed at an effective distance from each other and still be connected wirelessly.

Nope however you can get a separate range extender and do it that way. I've purchased 3 of the netgear range extenders (refurbished) off of amazon and connect everywhere on my property. That is your best fix and you won't brake the bank, at around $30 I highly recommend getting the refurbished Netgear range extender it is a must. Don't be fooled by the BS clams of people trying to sell an antenna that won't do anything but waste of time and money. If you have any questions you can email me at Preston_owens@msn.com hope this helps.

It can be done, but the best results would be if the main router is in the middle of the house and you use an extender halfway towards each end of the house from the middle. That way, the extenders wouldn't likely be picking up on the other extender's signal, but instead extending the original router signal.

Yes, you can. I purchased this item and I can access my wi-fi signal in the parking lot... (I live on a second floor.) Customer Service helped me with the set-up. They were great.

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

That's a tough question, if the detached garage and house were built the same time and on the same fuse box (electrical) they should work. Its your best chance of having Internet in the garage on the cheap, the next best thing is to have someone drop a cat5e cable to garage. I say try it, if it doesn't work, you can always return it.

Not sure how much range you're looking for -- it's not that far -- I have a Netgear Router as well and it works well with that== range up to 50 feet and through several walls and a garage
