My ZyXEL extender is located about 30 feet from my centurylink router/modem and performs perfectly.

No you can put it far away from the router it just has to pick up the signal.

In my experience it isn't any different from most other routers - decent signal at 50-70 feet. Beyond that it goes down. You might want to think about a Powerline network to get high bandwidth to the farther parts of your home. An example would be Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

It should work just fine but be sure to call Century Link to make sure they are using ADSL 2/2+ and not VDSL. This will NOT work with VSDL.

Yes you do. I am not tech savvy, but there is a yellow cord from the unit to our wireless router. The two other lines connected to the modem are the power and the phone. This is the same unit that Centurylink used many years ago. Just make sure that it is compatible with whatever phone service you have.

There certainly is no one-mile limit. I hit repeaters several miles away from my basement, and further if I take the HT upstairs.

Actually I am not quite sure. Ours is about 6 meters from the router, around a corner and it works just fine.

Absolutely not, it did not work even after being on the phone with tech for CenturyLink and the router. I ended up purchasing the device from CenturyLink

Yes, including 1 yr. service. Device is incompatible with CenturyLink routers. If you use another company for Internet, shouldn't be a problem.

Does not have to be to be close. My router is downstairs and I have it connected on the second story bedroom. You could always try using a wifi repeater if you are getting interference.

My Linksys router is located in our office upstairs and my wife listens to her Infinite Radio in the kitchen on the first floor. It works great - no problems! 30 feet should be no problem at all....

You shouldn't have to. I turn mine off daily and it stays configured. A couple of times I have had to redo it, but mine is almost 300 ft. from the router.

We are having the same problem with our wireless as well. Went from speeds of 14mbs to 1mbs. Wired fluctuates between 10-20mbs. Century Link will check the lines, but research is showing that an AP is suggested.

You can turn it off on the router setup page. There is a check box to turn it off.

Not exactly sure, but probably not far. I would recommend just spending the extra 50-100 bucks to invest in a solid linksys/Cisco router

I doubt it I have added a Belkin range extender, mine is no more than 50ft from the end of house bedroom, admittedy the main router signal goes through some thick timber, but its in the middle of the house in the basement, and only sometimes gets a signal at the end of house bedroom upstairs.
