My Comcast router is too far away from my smart Samsung TV to connect. Samsung recommended a wifi extender. Will this work and what settings on the GEEYA do I select?

Yes, I recommend this product, Geeya R303. I had that problem with my router, and the problem was solved.

I just received and installed a Nighthawk X6 last night for my home. All is working well, but should Smart Connect be enabled or disabled? It seems like a pretty simple question on what will work best. We have 4 smart TV's, 2-3 people in the house, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the Smart TV's and normal cell phone, computer and IPad connections. I will say that so far, this router seems to be working great, I am just wondering what settings to tweak or not to tweak.

Success!! After reading all three forums google found for me and trying out a few ideas, I finally got the thing to work. I own the 1600, am using a Motorola modem, and am connecting via a router (no wireless). I tried all DNS settings (both manual and auto), but was getting hung up on the gateway ping setting. So, here's what worked for me...... I unplugged the power to the modem, unplugged the ethernet cable to the 1600, turned off the power to the 1600. Then, (and I think the order you do this might have a lot to do with it but not sure if I'm recalling this correctly so play around with combos) I turned the 1600 back on and did a reset (hold down the FF button until the LED flashes 'reset'. Now connect the modem to power and then connect ethernet cable from modem to 1600. I was immediately asked if I wanted to upgrade firmware and even though someone else had a bad experience with that, I decided I had nothing to lose so I agreed. Updating takes about 10-15 minutes. After that the 1600 resets itself and --- somehow--- it worked. Shame on Samsung for putting so many customers thru this mess. I won't recommend this 1600 to anyone, perhaps the wireless is better but the customer service must be awful for so many people to rely on forums. Normally I'd call Samsung but it was after hours so I went to the forums and now I hopefully giving back. Good luck!!

Regular Lan adaptor won't work. You have to buy one from Samsung, and it costs more that the blu Ray player. Like Sony stuff...it's propriatory!

I had the same issue with an off brand (tenda) router. The Belkin box could connect with my friends router, and my phones hot spot, but not this one. I ended up getting a new router (linksys) , dual band to take advantage of the belkins speed. Connected up with no problem

You need to set it up as a repeater fpor your existing router, which is a feature of the unit that is not even mentioned on the box. Then put it midway to the point at which you want to extend the signal.

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm sorry I can not help you. I had the same problem with wifi. I would get it to connect for a short time and then it wouldn't. I ended up putting it in a bedroom near router and not bothering with it. Bought a LG bluray player that has no problems connecting. I also put an wifi extender in the living room

No need. Smart TV most likely has wireless capability. It should connect wirelessly to your network via your extender.

Sorry I don't have Samsung wifi, I have something else, try googling your question

If I remember correctly you need to use the Ethernet port on the back of the TV and connect to your router directly. Not many people have this close to their TV though.... then sign up for amazon. The few movies I watched were decent. If it was wireless it would be easier.....

I managed to connect with wifi-n. The problem is the TV is very slow and it's preferable to add a third party streamer.

My understanding is that all of the 'smart' TVs put out by Samsung are wifi ready -- but you'd have to check the specs of the model because they produce so many variations with small features included / excluded on what seems an arbitrary basis. Note, the model of TV in this post is NOT a Smart TV.

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

Yes, this device will solve your problem if you set it up according to the directions and make sureto locateit centered between your wireless router and the TV. I have a setup like yours and have no problems.

If your TV is not close enough to your Linksys to use a cable then you need to use WiFi. I have heard good things about the Roku - Roku Player. It is a WiFi device that can stream a variety of services including Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand. Very reasonably priced at $99.

As I recall just plug it in. Hold the on button and another one I think. Go online for this model and the set-up is quite simple. There may be a software download needed. During the set-up the extender will identify itself, or create an alternate WiFi access point. This will be your current home WiFi modem name, but with _EXT. Anytime you are near the extender go to WiFi connections and connect to the _EXT WiFi to improve your signal. It is an easy setup and an excellent product.
