is this extender universal with any programs such as Windows 8. I understand that all are not compatible.

Our extenders are stand alone network devices just like routers and are transparent to the operating system of the connecting client. All WIFI enabled devices should connect regardless of the operating system.

You should have no trouble in Windows 8 with this. At present I'm using it with my Dish Network DVR and it works great and has great range.

Windows 8 I do not know, but I would assume it would not be compatible. Reviews are a funny thing, many people just want something to work right out of the box. Maybe they are just using the product wrong. product quality control is lacking, some work some do not. This is definitely not a product to take a chance on.

Based on customer review, it looks like it does not work with DWE7491. I just bought DWE7491 and cannot figure out how this extension can be installed. Please remove DWE7491 from the "bought together" list. If I had not read all the customer reviews, I would have mistakenly bought this.

Yes, it works with Windows 8. I have been using it on Windows 8 for almost a year and have not had any issues with compatibility.

It works with Window 7. Therefore, Windows 8 should not be much different....I have windows 8, on my other laptop, but haven't hooked it up to that computer.

Yes, this is a universal extender and will work with virtually any wireless router! (Note however that this is not a cable modem/router; it is a signal extender)

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

It is only compatible up to Windows 8, and will NOT work with 8.1. I verified this with Belkin customer support.

Im pretty sure its compatible with Windows 8 because its just a device and not a program. I also have tested it on all Usb ports which is Usb, Usb 2.0 and Usb 3.0 and all 3 work for me. It will work with any computer if it is running Windows, It doesn't matter about the computer type it is.

Carlos,I connected this device to a Windows 7 computer. Don't have an answer for your Windows 8 question. Sorry for not being able to help.BTW, the device works perfectly with my machine. Could not be happier.

I don't know if it works with Windows 8, as I have windows 7. If it doesn't they will probably upgrade it soon. It is a great program. You can go to their website (www.ikmultimedia.com) and check it out. They have a free version (Amplitube Custom Shop) that has 4 amps and some effects to try out.

I have used it with Windows 7. I do not see why it should not be compatible with Windows 8.

I don't know. The info sheet that came with the extender said to email help@getextenders.com to get answers to any questions.

No, this will not work with other systems. In fact it works only with a handful of panasonic models. Just as you can't mix and match handsets and bases between different brands, the extender is a panasonic only device and has to be registered to a compatible panasonic system to function.

I do not believe so as the extender has a USB plug that goes into a USB port on your computer.

Don't know if their software is Win8 compatible. Their CD did not contain the advertised software. When I inquired about it, they sent me on a wild goose chase over the internet for generic software. I got fed up and returned the item. I purchased another equivalent from Neewer.
