would this item work to extemd the range of an Apple Airport?

The Range Extender uses your electrical outlets as its transmission line. Wherever the Apple Airport is plugged in becomes a transmitter to the extender which is connected to the PC or other device by an Ethernet cable. When I plugged this unit into the outlet and connected to the PC I had a good signal and the PC works great. Set up was a little tricky. I downloaded the manual online and that made the set-up quite simple. The extender that I purchased was a refurbished model but has worked flawlessly. I love this product.

I can't answer specific to the Apple Airport Extreme; however I can answer that the unit is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0 and will work on a computer that has USB 2.0 only.

I had a WiFi access point and one of those on the back of a Foscam Wifi cam and I was approx a mile down the road with no problem. The range can be farther but it is line of site so if there a lot of trees or buildings in the way the distance will be shorter.

Yes! Range works with any combination of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that is running iOS 5.1 or newer. Connect Range to one device and you'll get alerts on all the rest.

No. This is not a Wifi adapter. It is an adapter for a wired or network cable connection. Your Apple computer will continue to use the Wifi adapter it already has along with this adapter.

Quite close yes. But you can get a signal booster dirt cheap. This will extend the wifi signal significantly.

Yes, it works. I use this on my wifi-only ipad for off-road use and it works fantastic.

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.

The adapter doesn't really determine range, the access point does. If the access point has a strong enough signal, set to the optimal frequency and channel, the adaptor will pick it up from a good distance away. If you're dealing with multiple access points, then beacons may factor in, but this device should suit most applications just fine.

It is possible if you have very few things in the way. You may need a 1/2 watt or 1 watt power booster. If you have to Hawking antennas aimed at each other it should increase your range. Be sure to check on speed to make sure the connection works correctly. Sometimes you can have a good link and no speed.

This product could do what you want. As others have noted, it really depends on having a line of sight connection with no trees in the way. The antenna distance above ground will also make a difference, higher = better. Also note you will need a Wi-Fi hub to provide Wi-Fi services at the distant end.

The short answer is no!!!!. It is a long range wifi adaptor capable of receiving the signal from a router or hotspot that can be up to 3000 ft away.

Maybe, but I doubt that it would do you much good. One problem is that instead of "amplifying" your current network, this device creates a new network called "Wireless-Repeater," which requires a separate login and can create overlap conflicts with your existing wireless router network. So I suppose two of these things could overlap with each other. The unit never worked for me. I solved my range problems by upgrading to an 802.11ac (DOCSIS 3.0) wireless router. In any case, there must be better wireless range extenders from Amazon as well.

It works over wifi, very simple setup procedure. Takes around 2 minutes. It however needs to be connected via Ethernet into your modem. I use an Apple AirPort Extreme.

I meant no, it won't work with airport/airport express. I think I said airplay.

You will need to have an app by apple called AirPort Utility you can get in the google play store. I hope you can get it working , these base stations by Apple are truly before their time and simple to setup . Good luck

It all depends on your router. I had to go to the APPLE Airport Extreme because my home is three stories.
