Will this interfere with wireless N network: I have a Linksys wireless N router and no problems inside my house........could I add this without interfering with wireless network instead of buying a bridge for devices that only come with ethernet ?

No this will not interfere with a wireless N network. It operates through your electrical wiring.

If you need an access point, then look for an access point. This is a wireless bridge, used to connect local devices that may not have wireless capability, to your access point. I was using it to connect several ethernet devices to my access point, but 7t was too hard to configure and maintain, so I returned this bridge.

Sometimes wireless devices can interfere with each other. I moved a Bluetooth speaker on my desk and the problem went away.

I wasn't able to get it to work with a Poe wireless bridge. But our network eng was setting up a vlan at the same time and we were having problems with that.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

Not an answer but another question :-). Does this device also have more ethernet ports (4) like my present router that I use along with my DSL?? I presently have a need for three with equip. adjacent, nearby my router??? TIA for any info.

No. It extends your wired network and has no effect on your wireless network. You could use it to connect another wireless access point to an area your wireless doesn't reach or to just create a wired connection anywhere else in the house.

That is exactly what I did. It sits up stairs in the middle of the house. Router is downstairs at one end of the house. I was having issues getting wifi upstairs to the opposite side of the house. Now I connect to this instead and have no issues having great wifi upstairs or downstairs. Can have issues if portable device is attached to upstairs(this device) and device is on opposite floor. This has not been an issue for my family of 5 or our devices. Works great!

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.

If your current Internet MODEM has wifi built into it no this is not a wireless bridge. This plugs into your modem with Ethernet and then creates a wifi zone in your home/office. This is a router with a wifi access point built in. If you need to extend the wifi that is built into your modem search for a wifi range extender. But don't expect the same performance. Extenders are effectively half the performance of the first wifi device.

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

I don't see any reason why you would have a problem. I have my WiFi router plugged into one. Be aware, though, that it will create a separate network from your other router so things may not automatically see each other.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

As an ether bridge yes, as a root or child AP probably not with n band (yes with b/g). What's the application? The bridge simply acts as a layer 2 bridge (switchport to switchport if you will, a line of sight ethernet cable). It operates in the g freq band but that is independent of your n band router as I'm assuming your n band is for appliances and access (computer/peripheral) access. I used this bridge with an n band router simply to extend service (internet) to another building and its been working well since install.

Depends on how to want to use it. As a wireless bridge it operates over your current wireless allowing you to hook up say a computer or gaming equipment in a location that doesn't have a direct cable to your router. As an access point I imagine it has to be connected directly to your router.

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.
