I have wireless internet inside a metal building that I would like to extend to a RV that is 40 ft away. Will this work? Will I need 2 of them?

You could use 2 of these, assuming you have an ethernet jack near the one in the building to make the bridge, however 40 feet isn't much you may be able to use 1 on the wall nearest the rv and get enough signal as an ap

It will work, as long as you have a clear shot through a window or something (I broadcast hundreds of feet away without a problem). Trying to go through walls impedes it's abilities greatly. You only need one. By the way, the higher you have it, the better.

Yes it will work fine. Just plug er in and use it as a wireless switch. I've put several of these in and set them up that way. This thing works way better then the dumb router that my ISP makes me pay a monthly rental fee on.

Yes, one will probably do the job. I was prepared to double up but it wasn't necessary. The signal was strong enough at the remote location (300 feet) without having to add equipment there.

Paul, I was trying to get full wifi out to my backyard which is only about 50' away, but my problem is I have steel siding on my house instead of wood or vinyl .So I positioned the extender at the nearest wall socket to my sliding glass door to to the back yard as to reflect thru the glass and not my siding. This worked, I didn't have all bars showing but I had the wifi ok. Your standard wifi router (N) should get you at least that far without the extender, standard structure house wood of vinyl siding of course

It probably will. Best would be to inquire at Trendnet Tech Support, which will also be able to adjust the settings in your computer to make it more compatible.It's not a bad unit- does reach 100' from one building to another, though it ceases to load pages efficiently after 50 ft. Inside the first building it's superb. Am using an Actiontec wireless modem.

M situation was different in that I installed it on a router with only one external antenna. I think it probably depends upon how your range extender is configured. If it simply has two antennas broadcasting identical signals, there probably wouldn't be a problem. If each antenna is dedicated to different frequencies, that may pose some issues. I guess what I would do is replace one antenna and then switch the configuration to the other and see if it works well for you in either. The other approach would simply be to replace both antennas with two Amped powered antennas, which may provide significant advantages. If it/they don't work out, you can simply return them for a refund. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Yes, you can make the entire system wireless by purchasing a wireless repeater to extend internet to your barn. Basically the repeater will grab your existing wifi, and extend it around your barn area. Now, the benefit that you are looking for would be the repeaters that have an ethernet port to allow LAN connections. Like this one for instance. TP-LINK N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WA850RE)

it works for me in my RV. I purchased an external mount antenna that bolts to my roof ladder and doesn't require a ground plane. I works just fine. I actually use it with a MiFi and get my internet that way.

"with lots of trees in between" could be a problem. I use mine to connect to hot spots at RV sites and at my home from my RV, generally this is line of sight. You would not need a cable modem, the typical setup is a tp link hard wired directly to a Host (laptop, or pc something with a network connector) or to a router at the destination. The router can then provide wifi to the local destination area. Think of it this way: the tp-link boosts the reception and transmission capacity of your destination device, but it ain't magic. 600 feet across a big empty parking lot, no problem. Between two buildings with no obstructions, no problem. Ground level with trees, it might work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. With the situation as you describe it, you would only need one

You will need 2 units, unless you already have a wireless client on one end. You will need to mount the antenna on the outside of the building where you have line of sight to your endpoint. You will have to run CAT 5E (I would use the Ubiquiti Tough Cable & use the shield if you are mounting outside).

If your Verizon modem has an Ethernet port, yes. You would run the Ethernet cable from your modem to this module, then plug in the remote module in another location within the house. Mind you, you will have two wireless networks. I name mine MyAddress and MyAddress-Extended

This Amped Wireless High Power Router is not a repeater, for the distance you have I am highly recommend the Amped Wireless High Power Extender to strengthen the WIFI signal from your router.

You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.

According to the documentation, yes. You can use more than one to extend in a big house/building. Just place your router somewhere where the signal can be picked up by the extender.

It depends on your scenario. If the guest cottage is far away then you need two of these and another router like the airport. If the cottage is not too far then this can act as an access point.

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/
