do you need phone lines run to every extension / office or will wireless work? Also - how many total extension come with this package

Yes you have to run physical wire to each extension. Extensions depend on what you order - I think this unit comes out of the box with 8 phones and the capability to expand to 16

No. This is strictly a wired phone system. However, it works very well with a cordless phone and cordless phone systems. I have a base, repeater and a total of 10 cordless phone extensions and they work great with this system.

I needed an extender since the phone reception did not reach the barn and garden area in my yard. As W. Tobias stated, if you are not experiencing a problem when making phone calls with the base unit, you do not need an extender.

If I understand your question, if the base of the At&t; wireless phone system is connected to the old landline service, all the phones should work. In my case I have 3 wireless units including the base they all work perfectly. But, you will still need a landline service through some provider to have it work as discribed, for example my landline provider is Comcast/or it could be others such as Verizon.

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)

The base phone is about 6" x 6" and the extensions are about 2" x 6". The base needs a phone line and an electrical outlet. Each extension needs an electrical outlet. Hope this helps.

Currently Have three wireless laptops, one mac wireless, one desktop wired, one xbox 360 wired and wireless depending where in the house I am at, a VoiP phone connected via power brick. That is not including what I bring home from work. So totaled together 7 to 9 and still have plenty of speed to go around.

Thanks. That actually helps a lot. I don't need the extra stuff the extreme offers and I certainly don't need to spend the extra money. I have heard that the express is portable, but I am just now learning about wireless in general (yes, I know that I am behind the times). Is it really easy to set up wireless where ever I go? And, can it be "secured" when I use it in different places?Thanks so much for you help!Emily

Yes, you need two or more of these. These are especially good for house to house since they transmit and receive a relatively long distance. Regular so-called wireless intercoms depend on the house electrical wiring and do not often work if the units are in different houses. Remember, since these transmit over the air, your communication can be monitored by others who use the same channels within a few miles.

Yes, you can buy another set with main unit included, or just the handset. I have done both and it works fine either way. It's still cheaper to buy just the handset. In either case, you need to register the extra handset to the same main unit, so intercom calls would also work. If having two main units, you lose the intercom function and each main unit would take up an extra ethernet outlet from your wireless router.

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.

You can drive yourself crazy with this. Don't listen to anyone that says you can't use 2, and still have 6 phones. I called Panasonic, because I couldn't get my 2nd extender registered. After them telling me a few things, they said I couldn't have 5 phones and 2 extenders. A previous answer to this question said you could. So, I fooled around myself, and got the 2nd extended working (not following their instructions). So, I can say... 2 extenders work, even with 5 phones. Panasonic support was not helpful. I could not find a way to e-mail them, and waited forever for phone support. Last year, I only had one extender. The second one seems to make a clearer signal. You can drive yourself crazy with this.

If I understand your question correctly, yes. This unit would plug into the landline line either before or after the base station for your wireless phone. In this sense it just acts as a wired phone extension. If you have further questions please let me know, happy to help. Thanks, Mike

You need a printer switch.. and in that configuration you'll have 3 cables total... 1 from each PC to the switch and 1 from the switch to the printer.. but honestly, now a days, you're better off getting a wireless print server if it's compatible or set up file and printer sharing across the workgroup/network if this is being used in a small office or home environment.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!
