I have a Cisco 802.11ac router and a WD 4 port ac bridge. Will this be a viable range extender for the router if I need it?

As I understand it,for extending you need a USB port on the router.This specific router doesn't have one.

Yes - this router can act as a bridge. The manual refers to repeater with wireless client asociation, point to point bridge , multi point bridge modes. Start by shutting off it's DHCP server (only one should be active on your LAN).

Yes. I ultimately bought a router with the correct connector because I needed to extend the range of my wireless network, but before I purchased a different router, I connected the signal amplifier to my PCI wifi adapter on my desktop and saw a significant increase in the number of available networks as well as a major boost in the signal from my own network.

NO.!! Suggest spending more $$ and purchase Linksys AC1200 MAX WIFI Range Extender.

This Amped Wireless High Power Router is not a repeater, for the distance you have I am highly recommend the Amped Wireless High Power Extender to strengthen the WIFI signal from your router.

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

Yes, this is a normal network adapter supporting the a/b/g/n bands as well as the new ac band of the 802.11 standard. As long as you're accessing a wireless network which supports these bands as well has know their passwords (if any), then it should work without issue.

As long as the equipment that is handling the Wifi signal complies with 802.11 and IEEE standards, yes the extender should connect.

Should work...I use it to extend a Cisco valet plus wireless router and it works pretty good. It does drop te signal every once in a while but is easily reset by turning off and then back on.

To the best of my knowledge it is only intended as a range extender and not designed to provide the services of a router. I have a very large ranch style, single story home, and router in my office is over 100 feet from the opposite end of the house. This unit significantly improved my signal strength, ending dropped connections from wireless devices in use on the other end of the house, and the guest house on the property.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

Since the extender depends on the signal from the router, most likely this unit will not connect at 1000 feet. For that distance you would need to use the Pro Series devices and establish a wireless bridge between both locations.

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

Yes. If the extender detects that it has an ethernet cable from the router, it will become an AP (access point).

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

The router has no feature to be configured as a wireless bridge. You might want to consider the WRT1900AC router which has the Wireless Bridge feature.

Yes. In fact, D-link recommends it if your router is on a different floor in a big house. I have 1 but could probably use 2 extenders to cover the entire house. The product truly works as described. I had to manually set up the extender but it was easy using the directions.
