Hi, I was hoping to extend my wifi to my detached garage where I spend a lot of my time. Would this product work well for this?

for that I recommend the one with the two antennas that gives you more power and signal coverage, if no great distance that is perfect as integrated antenna! regards

Yes it will, however signal strength de pens on the distance from the TP-LINK TL-WR720N to the garage. If you already have a wireless device the TP-LINK TL-WR720N may be used to extend the range of the existing device. Please note the stronger the security the shorter the range. If you require a stronger reception range use the TP-LINK TL-WN822N for even better results. ( the TP-LINK TL-WR720N only has two LAN ports)

I am using them to shoot an internet signal about 2 miles... through an old fiberglass garage door and some trees. It works wonderfully. It may be overkill for what you are doing though. I wish I could be of more help, I'm pretty green at the wireless stuff.

The Actiontec 500 Mbps is not a wireless extender by it self. However since you plugged one end of the Ethernet cable into the larger adapter you can plug the other end of the same Ethernet cable into a different wireless router (instead of the Ethernet port of a network device such as a PC or a ROKU) if you want to improve your WiFi performance. Like I stated I found the hard wired solution much superior than any improved WiFi solution can provide, unless you have more than four devices spread across in multiple rooms that Ethernet cable can not easily reach.

I am planning on putting two WiFi extenders in two different parts of the house. One part has its own separate wiring. Will this one still amplify the signal from the modem?

I have mixed result. If you have WiFi WPS extender in your house - it get to be very flaky. However, if your WiFi router is connected via hardwire or you have a rather strong WiFi connectivity - this device works great. The awesome aspect of it is - you can join an existing WiFi and your router becomes AirEnabled! I have used it in my car - and it works great there too.

Think of the Actiontek pwr214k01 as a base unit and a receiver. This sends your wifi signal to one unit and would work in most applications. But if you have a greater area to cover, i.e. larger house, garage area, or pool area, then you would want the additional two receivers of the Actiontek pwr211k01 to cover those areas.

That's a tough question, if the detached garage and house were built the same time and on the same fuse box (electrical) they should work. Its your best chance of having Internet in the garage on the cheap, the next best thing is to have someone drop a cat5e cable to garage. I say try it, if it doesn't work, you can always return it.

It depends on distance between house and garage. It needs a signal to work.

No, I don't think so. You must set up the extender using your home WiFi settings. It extends your home WiFi network. If you move the extender to another location you will need to set it up based on that location's WiFi settings. I'm not sure it remembers each location's settings. You would be better off contacting Amped Wireless tech support.

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!

Yes, this would be perfect for you! The Picostation has excellent range. One thing: if your garage has metal siding, that can impact the ability to "see" the network.

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

I'm using mine to extend my wireless network. I have a Verizon FIOS (CISCO) cable modem/wireless router. My AE1000 is plugged into a computer about 20 feet away from that router. Works great.

I'm not sure it would help you much. Range extenders must get a good signal from a wireless router to work properly. If they receive a good signal from the router they rebroadcast it and thereby extend the range.

Yes. I have used them to extend my wifi by placing a wireless access point and/or a wireless router at the remote end. Be aware, that these may sometimes have some issues and may need to be rebooted like other devices on the network.

Really depends on how far the RF signal needs to go to get into your Insteon network. I carried mine as far as I could away from any dual-mode switches and my controller, which was about 25 feet, and it still worked for me. If the RF reception occurred near your garage, I bet it would work. It is a nice little controller. The ability to recharge it with a MicroUSB cord instead of having to deal with swapping out batteries is really nice.

This will not work as WIFI. It is like extending your hard wired cable without wires through your home wiring. It does however work amazingly well just like being connected at the source.
