Mine was refurbished when purchased. Signal a little stronger but you get what you pay for....

No, this is a WiFi extender/router. If you cannot get a signal, then your just out of luck. You are thinking of a 4G LTE signal booster, which can only boost an already strong 4G or 3G signal for indoor use. It's not a very portable thing either.

I have this unit, and my understanding of this unit is that it will repeat the signal it receives, extending the coverage area of the signal. If the signal from the router is weak, the extended signal will also be weak. If this range extender could be placed on a higher floor, in an area of the building where there is a strong signal, it could then give you a better signal in the basement.

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set.You may not even need an extender.

Yes, but you may have to configure it differently if it's not the main router on your network.

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

I am not sure how to answer your question because it plugged in easily to my router, but the antenna was useless. I was told by my internet provider that a longer antenna would help with the internet reception in parts of my house that were not near the router, but it had no effect. I eventually had a booster router installed at several hundred dollars' cost for the unit and installation, and that works fine.

Yup I never had an issue with mine. I live in a two story apartment, router upstairs and pc downstairs. I get 4-5 bars of signal strength all the time

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!

it will improve if configured correctly. My modem and the repeater shared the same home web address so it was awkward to configure following directions but it seems to be working now that I added it to my trendnet wi-fi routers page.

I honestly don't know. But I do know it did the trick. We had awful wifi throughout the house - even after Comcast boosting signal. We got this - a few TP-LINK N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WA850RE) - and the signal is strong throughout the entire house - all 3 floors.

We use this router in conjunction with a Roku to watch streamed shows and movies. There seems to be a buffer, and once in a while a show will pause if the streaming is slow. I assume that is a problem with the signal entering our house from iur Internet provider, and not the router.

I am not sure if this is the info you are looking for but here is how my router is setup. I have broadband connection that I have a normal wireless router hooked to. Across my house where my desktop is located I have the 843ND. It picks up the wireless signal and turns it into a hardwired system that my desktop and VOIP phone hook into. This has worked flawless for about 6 months now.

From what I understand this is an Extender, not a replacement for the router. I bought mine because I needed to reach across 200ft and my regular wireless did not reach. This only improved the signal a little. After I complained to AT&T; they actually came out and installed a data line direct from the panel to the router, and that helped a lot. The signal to the remote office was about the same from the router or from the REA20. The tech suggested that I return the REA20 but I kept it. Though it is not quite as effective as they make it sound, occasionally it is stronger signal and I like having it as an alternative connection.

No this router will not do that. I don't know of any home routers that will unless that is a new feature from some new recent model. You can always put software on someone's computer get detailed results on where they have been.

Your router needs to have a detachable antenna. That is the place where the Hawking signal booster hooks in. If it has this it should work. This is a wifi signal booster .
