Can I purchase and use a wifi range extender and extend or leapfrog its signal any further? If so what type or brand should I buy?

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are in different radio bands. So you can not extend Bluetooth range with Wi-Fi equipment

This is not a wifi device, it is a bluetooth device. I have never heard of a range extender for bluetooth devices, but they may exist.

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful

HI, this is a power line adapter, IT does not have a wifi repeater or AP function. Your wireless signal will not be increased because this is a pure wired solution to extend your network range. If you want a power line solution to extend your wireless, I suggest something else. A powerline adapter that extends your wireless range, check out this kits on amazon: TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT ADVANCED 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, AV500 Powerline Edition. Search for that

The Engenius EAP9550 is an access point or repeater device that allows the user to extend the range of the WiFi signal from the main router. So the answer is yes if you are using any wireless router (in router mode only) to extend the range of your WiFi signal from the main router.Also the device used to extend the WiFi signal must be physically attached to the main router.

Yes, but the extenders work off of your main router and not each other. You could not, for example, extend the range by putting multiple extenders in a series. We have put one in our basement and one on the second floor. Both pick up the signal of the main router and give us better coverage. You do, however, have to rename one of the SSIDs for one of the extenders. By default, the extender sends an SSID of MYWIFI_EXT. The second extender would have to be renamed. Instructions for this come with the extender.

there are things called wireless repeaters, but i found a better solution, albeit, expensive.i bought a powerline adapter and a wireless access point to extend my range. ended up costingme over 200 bucks, but i now have a reliable signal.

Where do you have your WiFi extender hooked up to now? Your first question doesn't specify

Ya you have to get the Signal Booster by Wilson. It's about $120 and comes with a smaller antenna. This is a replacement antenna for better range. I work in the middle of the desert where there is no cell or WiFi signal anywhere but after getting the Wilson Signal Booster I get a signal which is great in case of Emergencies. It was worth the money

No. It is not considered a range extender. I have more than one and once paired to your Z wave hub it has a range (unobstructed) of 100'. Reality is the strength of your homes Wi-Fi can influence this devices capacities greatly.

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

To be totally honest...have no idea. Wish I could have been more helpful. But I'm def going to be buying a more powerful one as the netgear one that I have isn't doing the job as I have way tooooo many wireless "things" working off that one router, even with the extender, still no good. Not sure which one I'm getting. Good luck

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

The range extender did work, but it's a little tricky because it uses different wifi chanels to link between the router and the extender and the extender and the end user device. This often created a less dependable connection and occasional difficulty connecting. Nevertheless the range is effectively extended as promissed. However, I had a better user experience upgrading to a better router touted as "high power" and not needing to use the range extender. It is the asus rt-ac66u. The 5ghz ac feature won't help you (low range), but the b/g/n is great.

You need a router which generates 5Ghz. The extender just extends the signal the router generates.

From what I've read the extenders just give you a stronger signal for longer distances. Other then that I think you are asking if you need to either buy another unit for three units or if it just gives you a stronger and longer distance control???Don't quite understand the question and am not familiar with the extenders. Maybe a Tech at Amazon can help........
