Wifi is provided by my landlord, I have the password for the wifi . Can I use this to boost the signal?

technically it's not a range extender. and to add i was disappointed in it's reliability to stay connected to my Hawking Range extender...better choices out there.

hmmm.... I am not too sure what you mean by an app, but the wifi is built in, and all that is needed is to enter a password for a router for it to work. Of course, if the signal is unlocked then you won't need a password.

Why do you need an app for the wifi? Just go to settings tturn on wifi and choose your network then enter your password

you have to connect tothe wifi in your home by using your wifi passcode i found this item unable to connect strongly to my wifi so I gave it away

if you have a bad signal it will just boost the bad signal. it does not give you more signal strength

No -- this needs to attach by a cable to a network connection, and then this device provides wi-fi access. You can make it secure by requiring people to log onto this wi-fi with a password, but it does not receive wi-fi from another source.

Yes, you can connection the MYQ-G0201to a secured WiFi, in fact mine is hook up that way and I wouldn't have it any other way.

wifi isnt free, if you paid for it you would know :) ok if it really is yours then its your WEP key or your WPA key that you setup

The instructions are short, but it was very simple for me. First use the ethernet cable to connect and set it up, then set up the wifi. You will need your wifi password.

It just boosts the signal. It has nothing to do with passwords. That's handled by your computer.

I would think if you have the password you should be good but you would need to get your extender in a spot were signals are good so I would have to say that might not be a good idea

If you get at least a weak wifi inside your garage, this device might help you. My garage gets a very weak wifi signal from the router in our home. I tried what you wanted to do, placing this unit in a window facing the garage. It did not strengthen the wifi signal in the garage. I then moved the TP-LINK TL-WA901ND from the house to the garage, and there it worked great, picking up and repeating the in-home wifi.

Clarifying, this will only transmit the internet speed that you have, it will not boost it, but as far as your signal reliability it's much reliable then wi-fi meaning you will have internet connection in areas where wi-fi does not reach. Hope this helps

This boosts the wireless signal from your router (cable/DSL). It has nothing to do with which version of Windows you are using.

Agree with everyone else. This will successfully boost your wifi signal (if you need help, check out the review I posted for this product), and increase potential range of any wireless device you own (regardless of the operating system on your devices).

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password.there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

No what this does is boost the WiFi signal in your area. It comes with an install disk. I had some problems installing it in my Windows 8.1, but since then I have worked out the bugs. It really does pick up all the WiFi signals in your area. Without this powerlink, I was only able to pick up 4-5 signals, but with powerlink I now can pick up 20+. It can help you find the unsecured networks in your area if they are further away. It will not help you connect with secure networks if you do not have the password. I hope this helps answer your question.
