I'm trying to use this as an wifi extender for my backyard. My Wifi router is a Apple AirPort Express. Will I be able to connect theses two?

The short answer is yes. The long answer, you will need to have a working knowledge of ip addresses, access points, and your router in order to get it working. The instructions that come with it are suitable for someone with some network knowledge. It will not be plug and play. And since you are using apple products that might be a challenge.... Ha ha.

This is a bridge. You would be able to connect multiple Ethernet devices to this bridge if you wanted. You're still using your WiFi. If you have a buffer problem this unit, or any other you purchase would not likely remedy that problem.

Tim , I reread your question , apologies . if your extending your wifi , this is not the item . This bridge can extend your wired lan , but its a bridge and upstream are wired connections , downstream is your router on wifi .

I'm pretty sure you can but I don't have an extender. I've owned the Airport Extreme for about 5 years now and it's been flawless. I've never had to reset it like other routers. I don't even know if you would need an extender with this router. I live in a 2000 sq ft home and get a signal even outside up to a couple of houses away. If you have a much larger house I guess extenders would help.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

The extender would pair with one wireless router. It won't be able to boost signal from 2 wireless routers.

AirPort Extreme does not work with a non Apple product or router. I just had this same problem & called Apple. I am returning the AirPort Extreme and getting a dual band router with an extender that is the same make as the router. Then they will work together....I hope.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

I am not sure what you are asking? You want to use this as an wireless extender? You want to use this to mirror your wireless? If you already have a wireless router, what do intend to do with a second?

yes, it will work as an access point, meaning you connect to its own SSID (WiFi Broadcast Name) and use Airplay.

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.

Yes, you can. I have two of these units on my Airplay set up, one in the living room and one on my back porch. I also have my Apple TV on the same network. They work great for me. The wireless receiver range on these units is somewhat limited. My house is large, so I use wireless extenders for proper network signal strength (Netgear sells units for &lt;$50).

I believe it could, but didn't get the chance to try that feature out. I returned it since it kept dropping signal. I kept my old N300 router instead. I think if I got another one it would be the Apple Airport Extreme

Worked for me. I have a router splitter as well to have more ports. Nancy.velasquez@icloud.com

I'm not really proficient with this network wireless stuff. My configuration is a Macbook with 802.11a,b,g,n and and Air Express which works like your router so I suspect it is a fit, but I think I looked it up on the Asus site to confirm it myself. Bad habit not to write down notes on these system upgrades.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

The ONLY router I use is the Airport Express and I use it with my iMac and my wife's Acer laptop. On my iMac, plugged and play. On my wife's laptop I did use the built-in WIFI setup in Windows Vista and connected right away. I've been using this configuration for the past 4 years with no problem. The range on my setup is about 50-70 feet, with the Airport in my living room. It covers all rooms in my home (1200 sq ft) and extends outside.
