I have a WPN824v3 router attached to my PC. I need an access point to extend the range of wireless signal into my house. Will WN802T do this?

Almost certainly. The trick will be getting the settings right. I gave up on mine after several days of trying. You are in a better position since you have the same brand of router, I did not.

I'm afraid that I'm not certain of the answer. The WN802T is only an access point, and not really a range extender. I don't find the range much better than my old WAP. But since you already have a WAP in your WPN824v3, I don't know that the additonal WAP will give you any benefit.

Sorry, I can't answer your specific question. Mine is connected to a Verizon FIOS Actiontec Wireless Router. It works great for extending my wifi signal to the second floor of my home.

Depends on the router. If your router is too far away, then you can always purchase a linksys plwk400 powerline wi-fi access point kit to extend wi-fi to area of home where the wemo and other wi-fi devices need better wi-fi signal. Here is link on amazon for the linksys plwk400 product pageLinksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

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

The Engenius EAP9550 is an access point or repeater device that allows the user to extend the range of the WiFi signal from the main router. So the answer is yes if you are using any wireless router (in router mode only) to extend the range of your WiFi signal from the main router.Also the device used to extend the WiFi signal must be physically attached to the main router.

It needs to be set up by plugging it directly into a computer. After that, it can be a free standing wireless hub that extends the wireless signal. Mine works perfectly. My wireless network devices at this end of the house now tap into the new router, while devices near the main router get signal from it. Locate the Medialink somewhere between your main router and the upstairs bedroom.

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 do not know. Would NOT recommend this product to extend WIFI range. Would definitely recommend LINKSYS AC1200 MAX WIFI Range Extender. Initially plug it in next to your router. Enter the username and password of your router into your Smart Phone or I-Pad. Then plug the LINKSYS WIFI Extender in a convenient area about 40-80 feet from the router. Your WIFI range will now be extended to approx 80-160 feet.

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

Sure if you want to. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/convert_wifi_router_to_access_point.htm

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

you would need access to the router, either to initially set up this range extender by using the wps buttons on the router (if available) and the range extender, or else have the password to light in to the router's network, but the latter is a lengthier process than the former and doesn't seem to work as reliably.

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/

I bought this device to extend my wireless router range in the house. I run multiple wireless computers through it, so I assume a wireless TV hook-up will work as well, but the TV should run off your existing router if it has the range/power. I have not attempted to hook up my TV yet (already have too much TV content).

Sorry but no it can not. This unit, as all of our extenders, will only connect to the network via a wireless signal. If you need to connect to the network via a LAN port than you need an access point like the AP300 or AP20000G.

All Amped routers can be converted to acting as just wireless access points. It will work with your setup in AT mode not router mode. A range extender is when yo do not have an ethernet cable connected to the device, an access point is when you do have an ethernet cable connected coming form your gateway/router.
