can i hook this up to my router, point it out the window, to my workshop 300ft away and have wifi in that workshop?

No with the default antennas, those are omnidireccional. They will loose the adequate signal around 100ft. You need to invest on some extra directional antennas to make it work on 300ft.

If your workshop has walls (like any indoor space does), then probably not. If you feel comfortably making a directional wifi antenna then that might be worth a try. (http://www.instructables.com/id/10--WIFI-16dBi-Super-Antenna-Pictorial/?ALLSTEPS)

If you get at least a weak wifi inside your garage, this device might help you. My garage gets a very weak wifi signal from the router in our home. I tried what you wanted to do, placing this unit in a window facing the garage. It did not strengthen the wifi signal in the garage. I then moved the TP-LINK TL-WA901ND from the house to the garage, and there it worked great, picking up and repeating the in-home wifi.

Not sure, the wifi was so bad that I gave up trying to make it work. I had it 5 feet from my router. :-(

The only way to do this is with 2 units. One on each building with the one on the barn feeding into a regular router via ethernet. Then you can connect to the router inside the barn either wirelessly or with ethernet.

Yes, but you need special software to do it. Do not buy this the range is awful. I could not get this to connect unless it right next to my computer. Sent it back to amazon

You probably could but the reception will not be very good i had one in the basement about 50 feet from my router returned it to costco, I would try a powerlink adapter set if your garage is wired to the house....

It will mostly depend on your landlord's router. With a good one it should just reach. For anything that far though, I recommend setting up a wireless repeater.

You would have to be within range of router. there is an initial setup that is easy but requires you to plug it into the router.

Range as in how far it goes wirelessly? Its not wireless. You would have to put a router.

Sorry but no it can not. This unit, as all of our extenders, will only connect to the network via a wireless signal. If you need to connect to the network via a LAN port than you need an access point like the AP300 or AP20000G.

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....

Yes, you sure can. This is exactly the case I'm using it now: A Powerine 500 WiFi AP pair to extend the internet access from the router in my IT center to a home office with cable and wireless connectivity, and a Powerline 200 to get the internet access to another room with ethernet calbe connection.

Possibly, If your router is linux and has dial up support, you can plug this modem into the USB port of your router and the router can bridge the dial up connection to the wifi lan of your router. Check out this one.. http://www.greatarbor.com/products.html#GAC-252

It depends on distance....I don't know where 30 ft. came from mine is working great at much farther then that. But the outlet you use in the Garage has to be on the same fuse box as your router. The speed decreases as your distance increases. I am getting about 55Mbps at almost 90 ft. on my sons Xbox.

It can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.

Most likely. I use it as far as 8 miles, but it is pretty much line of sight. If you can't see your target, it probably won't work. Check the Ubiquiti Wiki for set up instructions on using it as a simple wifi access device. That is pretty much its out of the box defaults.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

I imagine you could, i use mine as a weather station 'forwarder' if you will, and it sends the weather station data to my main router. You will have to fiddle with the settings or flash a different firmware to it. I'ts pretty cheap, and worth experimenting with. good luck
