I have wireless acess, but it is very spotty and unreliable due to being shared by multiple users/devices. Will this enhance my connection?

This device can be used as a repeater and will enhance the signal strength in corners where the signal is patchy. But of your primary modem itself is sending out patchy signal, then this device will not be able to help you much.

No. It extends your wired network and has no effect on your wireless network. You could use it to connect another wireless access point to an area your wireless doesn't reach or to just create a wired connection anywhere else in the house.

No; improves connection speed and quality. Used to drop connection all the time at work, now my terminals' wireless connection is the most stable connection in the building.This particular device isn't like 2 wireless cards bridged, which I think is what you're getting at. It's a bit bulky though, which is my only complaint.

When you attached this device you will turn off your internal card, and rely solely in this to receive you're wireless connection. So the range should be consistent across all devices. It will not combine with your other wireless signal to boost that one. I don't remember the effective range of this one specifically, but when I was using every day with my MacBook Pro, it was far better than the internal card. I eventually upgraded to newer better versions, that are obviously more expensive, but I loved this adapter. I hope that helped.

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.

It's a good product either way, but your wireless network is most likely slower than your wired network and will thus be slower to access this device. Having said that, I have quite a few of these running with customers (and my home) and they work great either way.

I used a single unit, and to be honest with you I had problems with the 4 wireless units interfering with one another. I think it would be worth spending the extra money to buy something of higher quality. Hope this helped.

It might improve the signal a bit more just because the wireless adapter has a high gain antenna but is not the most recommended method to increase the signal since your laptop has a built in wireless circuit. Your best bet will be a wi-Fi range extender or a more powerful wireless router. Hope this helps...JR

Hi there! Yes you can use multiple extenders for increased range - their main source of wireless connection would need to be the same.

I have Verizon Quantum router. If you connect using Ethernet it will drop your range signal on anything that is wireless. It does work but we have a lot of laptops and tablets.

I have only used it wireless. Signal strength will always be stronger using an ether net cord.

I apologize I'm not sure. I'm using 802.11n which has a greater range and is also faster than 802.11g.

Yes it will do what you want only problem if you go to multiple locations you would always have to enter the web interface to change the wireless access information, other than that it is basically great for what you need it to do. I did email the developer to upgrade the firmware so that it could store multiple ssid to auto connect to whatever is in range so far no reply.

It depends on why you are getting the lag. If it is due to your internet providers slow level of service then...no. You didn't specify what X-BOX you have either so all the simple "yes" and "no" answers aren't going to answer you question anyway. If your box has "G" or "N" wireless built in with at least WPA security then the answer is certainly no. Your box is already capable of the best speed it can get from your end.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

If there is a significant difference in the wireless and the wired LAN speed, one potential problem is that you are getting interference from other wireless devices. There are only so many Wi-Fi channels, so in crowded places (like my apartment complex) you inevitably end up sharing the Wi-Fi space with your neighbors. I bought a Wi-Fi extender antenna to help improve my signal, and it helped out a lot. Check out this link to see what I mean -> Insten® 2 pack Wi-Fi Wireless Antenna / Router Signal Booster

My guess would be "yes," especially if, say, your router is in the middle of the house and the extenders are at opposite ends of the house. That way, your wireless devices would "see" only one extender and there would be no interference.
