If I have an Airport Extreme, and want to have wifi in my guest cottage how many of these do i need?

You need 2 of them one to send and one to receive. They behave like piece of wire. They can also behave like an Access point at both ends allowing devices to connect to each unit.

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.

As many wireless devices as you want. As long as they are within range, shouldn't be a problem.

Hi there! Yes you can use multiple extenders for increased range - their main source of wireless connection would need to be the same.

It would depend on how many addresses you give it. A class-c subnet, the default (255.255.255.0) would be around 254 devices. There are 4 wired ports as well, but they get their IP's from that same pool. You could have more, but the bandwidth is shared among the wifi clients. 802.11n give you a 100Mbs and sometimes higher rate. The latency and throughput depend on distance, congestion, line of sight, and load. If your checking your email, not much BandWidth is used, if your watching videos or downloading files, then more BW is used by that client. I can stream dvd quality (2-4Mbs streams) to 2 or 3 televisions at the same time with no lag or issues now that I use this wifi.

I used a single unit, and to be honest with you I had problems with the 4 wireless units interfering with one another. I think it would be worth spending the extra money to buy something of higher quality. Hope this helped.

You only need one per home unless a second internet account exists. If there's no wiring upstairs for connecting a computer, get yourself a wireless access point.

Yes that is exactly what you can do. Actually Access Points are designed just for this purpose vs. Wireless repeaters. Hope it works for you the 2 I bought worked great and have a "guest" account you can enable as well.

You do not need a second one. Put this out at the site you want it and connect it to your existing wifi. Will go 250 ft line of site

I tried this myself and ended up very frustrated. The when I checked the owner's manual under troubleshooting I found "The G-17 will not work on an N only wireless network, nor on a guest network with limited access. My current 3rd Generation AirPort Extreme is 802.11n.

I live in a 2100 square-feet home, I receive 4bars Wi-Fi throughout my home. I can get 1 bar WIFI signal on my cell phone when I am about 100 yards away from the nighthawk router.

We use these for patient wifi in a doctor's office using the Tomato firmware. They routinely hold 50-60 concurrent devices.

It will depend a lot on how clear of a path you have to the Airport Extreme. Also 5ghz will not travel as far as the 2.4ghz channel. I would guess that it will not connect at that distance or it will be a very weak connection. If you are looking to connect two buildings at that distance I would look at setting up a true wireless bridge with a pair of Nano Station M5's. Wire 1 to the Airport Extreme and then point it at the second with the best line of sight possible. Then wire the second M5 to the UniFi AC and that will bridge the two and give you a stable connection and the best throughput.

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

If your cabins are within 1500 feet of the hub2n you can get wifi off of it. If they are farther or have metal paneling you would need a receiver. see manufactures website for exact details. Overall they work really good

I think for that computer you need an Airport Extreme card - the one that came out after this one.. Your router should not matter.

The Hub2N is all you need IF the cabins aren't too far away AND/OR wifi has a hard time getting through the walls. Otherwise you will need a receiver at each cabin along with a bridge or access point. Good luck!

As many as you can afford. It's unlimited as far as I can see.i bought six extensions and they all work well.
