How does this compare to the Verizon Network Extender?

Verizon works off your internet connection; this has an external antenna that captures the signal

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

For the original setup, I found it easier to configure with a connection to my computer. You should be able to do all your configurations this way and then you will be connected to your router via your wifi network. Overall, I didn't really like this Extender. There are better and easier ones to configure (Netgear).

Not sure on Verizon but has all protocols for DSL connections and security too. Setup is as easy as putting in disk and answering a few questions. Hope this helps! Its a great modem/router!

No the network extender is proprietary for the Verizon network. You need to buy a different unit called a Microcell for AT&T; phones. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_9?url=search-alias%3Dmobile&field-keywords;=microcell&sprefix;=Microcell%2Caps%2C275

I don't think so.. My experience with Verizon has been that they will sell you the $300.00 Network Extender, but you will need two bars or more outside your house, in order to get 4 or 5 Bars strength boost inside your house.. and if the Extender Breaks down after one year warranty, no return, you will need to Buy a new Un-used Network Extender..

Goto the smallnetbuilder website, they have all of the statistics you could ever want to compare between these adapters. As of today, this particular one (the TP-Link AV600) is the best for the price (close in speed to the most expensive and newest ones out there) adapter you can get.

Maybe - My extender works well but for something like Netflix I think I would try something like on of the Linksys Powerline Network Adapter Kits or something similar. I have not tried Netflix on my extender but I think that the Powerline option might offer better bandwidth & throughput.

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.

Yes. I've got both dual band networks that show up in the wi-fi list from the extender.

I have a fairly large house and my wifi signal tended to drop off in certain areas, so I added a second AirPort Extreme to extend my network. But, that actually "cuts the signal in half" in that configuration. Sorry, only a closet tech person so I am sure I just butchered this explanation. To get around this, I used the powerline kit. I plugged one in by my main airport and the other by my second airport. Ran Ethernet to each from the airport. Also made sure these were the only thing plugged into the outlet. On the second airport, rather than extend my network, I set it up as stand alone with the same netiwork name and password. It is setup as a roaming network. The primary airport provides the dhcp services and the second is setup in bridge mode. Google "two AirPort Extreme on same network" and there is a good apple support article about this. My network performance improved by a huge amount after I set this up.

I was asking myself the same question as I am also an AT&T Uverse user considering the purchase of this extender. On reading through the reviews posted on Amazon, I found the following.............. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender (Personal Computers) Finally!! An extender that just plugs in and works perfectly! If you have a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, get this extender, because it will work, and work great. I first bought the Hawking HWREN1 extender, and after spending hours trying to get it to work, it would repeatedly disconnect. After calling customer service, I was told that it won't work with 2Wire products. So frustrating! Next, I bought the Engenius ERB9250 extender, and that wouldn't work either. Their customer service was atrocious. I couldn't connect to anyone for technical support; despite calling back repeatedly, all I got was a voicemail message. I would never buy another product from them. All I did with this extender is plug it in, push the WPS button on my router and on the extender, and it connects. Then, you just connect to the new address, which is your SSID + EXT. And that's it. I'm very happy with the product.

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 router has worked great for me. I currently use Charter cable internet and have no problems. Prior to that I had AT&T DSL and it worked fine also. Unsure about Verizon DSL. Hope this helps.

wireless feature works well for our small network. Don't know the difference between to two models though.

AT&T; does use a Motorola SBG6580 model that has issues with extenders. If you have that model the extender may experience connection issues. Also, with what you have described with the metal foil insulation, an extender may not be a good idea as it depends on the WIFI signal of the router. If you have the option, running Ethernet cable and installing an access point would be a better solution.

I had no trouble setting up the unit with Verizon. They just need your cell number, address and a few other bits of info. The extender as worked fine for me.
