will this repeat a public wifi signal?

Yes, I use it exactly for that in my RV. I can connect to the campground WiFi and have my own private network inside the RV. I have used it to connect to public hotspots like Lowes, Panera, McDonalds, and similar while traveling. You need to add the USB access point to it and may need to upgrade the antenna on the access point depending on the distance from the hotspot. I use a Yagi for maximum range. I have been able to pick up good signals from over 300 yards away.

I had this system but upgraded to a Rouge Wave system. The software required for the Alfa systems is a a pain.

Adding a second one should have no issues, since it just (like the first one) would pass along the signal using the same SSID and connection password of your original access point.

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.

Not as long as your signal is not broadcast off of your own property. If you erect an antenna that allows access by the general public you will need a public airwaves license, regardless of the wattage.

in any case I can think of, that is what it is supposed to do-it is a repeater and it will repeat the signal of any device it on your network and anyone else you let in and anyone else that guesses the password-use a good password

No and no. This a repeater it repeats your wifi connection stronger in your house. This is not a portable booster for wireless it is a reaper.

Can't help you with that one. I use it to simple send a stronger signal to a router in another building and it works good.

Yes. I run two APs on my network, with wired connections. Each is configured for the same SSID with WPA-PSK encryption. Hand off between the two APs is transparent to Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android client devices. I don't run RADIUS on my network, but I don't see why it would be a problem.

It did for me. I had intended to insert a signal using the Ethernet cable used to bring power to the repeater but in the process of doing setup and config it captured the wireless WiFi signal from across our parking lot. Its been working that way ever since. I mounted the repeater outside in the middle of three metal buildings. I stream videos and play Pandora all evening, no problem, using only the signal amplified by the repeater from across the parking lot.

No. The SR20000 will only repeat the 2.4 signal. If your network only has a 2.4GHz signal to repeat, the 5.0Ghz will also repeat the same 2.4Ghz signal from your router.

Yes. Per the specs found on another site: "Repeats Z-Wave commands to other devices."

Not likely! This only amplifies the signal that you already have available.

Most powered devices will repeat the signal. As I recall even the motion sensor will act as a repeater if powered externally. I have phillips hues bulbs everywhere in my home and it's extended the range to about 100 feet outside of my home, my home is an 1800sq ft home.

No, because you would need access to the public wifi settings to set the extender up.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

Absolutely, you can mimic the original signal or even the first repeated signal. Just follow the directions like you did the first one.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.
