I would like to extend my wifi network to other areas of the house that currently have a weak wifi connection. How do I accomplish that with this kit?

A power line connection system will allow you to connect via wired connection anywhere in your house that has an electrical plug in. You can use this in conjunction with a wireless access point by connecting the current router with a power line connector, then connecting the wireless access point with the other side of the power line connector in the weak area of your house.

I have a fairly large house and my wifi signal tended to drop off in certain areas, so I added a second AirPort Extreme to extend my network. But, that actually "cuts the signal in half" in that configuration. Sorry, only a closet tech person so I am sure I just butchered this explanation. To get around this, I used the powerline kit. I plugged one in by my main airport and the other by my second airport. Ran Ethernet to each from the airport. Also made sure these were the only thing plugged into the outlet. On the second airport, rather than extend my network, I set it up as stand alone with the same netiwork name and password. It is setup as a roaming network. The primary airport provides the dhcp services and the second is setup in bridge mode. Google "two AirPort Extreme on same network" and there is a good apple support article about this. My network performance improved by a huge amount after I set this up.

Hi, you can see the diagram here:http://store.linksys.com/powerline/linksys-powerline-PLEK500-homeplug-av2-gigabit-adatper-kit_stcVVproductId154355174VVcatId554690VVviewprod.htmThanks, PCrush

Our router is upstairs in a back bedRoom. We setup the Amped Wireless booster downstairs under the stairwell and it worked to boost the signal throughout the whole house. In fact, I get a stronger signal from the Amped booster than I do from the router two rooms way.

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

Yes, you can. I have a wireless router/switch on the end of mine, extends my wireless network for me.

I don't believe so. I had to go about 20 feet but through an external wall and could not get a signal. I wound up just hard-wiring the Extender, running a cable from the source to the extender. The other thing to note here is that I'm not sure I agree that it's an "extender"... it simply started another network. So... with an ethernet cable and any wireless router, you could do the same thing.

In theory, yes, but it was rather a PITA for me to get it to work as an extender on my network. It worked after much configuration though, so you should be able to extend the network of the TriFi network (just another Wifi network), just as if it were another router.

It does not extend your range at all. It must be within, and is subject to, your existing wifi network.

The short answer is "No." The extender is to be placed at the outer limit of the coverage range of the wireless router. The link between the two is more easily completed if they are close together during the setup, but then in order to extend the range, they must be placed at an effective distance from each other and still be connected wirelessly.

This device is strickly a range extender. Once tied to you network it broadcasts the same network name (SSID). For example, I have a shop that sits 400 ft from my home. When inside of the shop I only receive 25% wireless signal. I setup the extender at my residence, then unplugged it and move it to the shop. The extender only sees 25 % wireless but boosts the signal in my shop to 100%. This is a great product for 2 story homes or anywhere wireless signal is weak. Just follow the easy setup instructions and it works in less that 3 minutes.

You need a router which generates 5Ghz. The extender just extends the signal the router generates.

If you get at least a weak wifi inside your garage, this device might help you. My garage gets a very weak wifi signal from the router in our home. I tried what you wanted to do, placing this unit in a window facing the garage. It did not strengthen the wifi signal in the garage. I then moved the TP-LINK TL-WA901ND from the house to the garage, and there it worked great, picking up and repeating the in-home wifi.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

In order to setup this device, you will have to be able to connect to the router's signal your are trying to extend. If you cannot see the signal of the router in the basement, then unfortunately you will be unable to properly setup the device.

i want to extend the range of my airport above the garage into the attached housepresently i can only get a wireless connection in a room close to the garagewill the airport express do this for me and is it easy to install

No, I don't think so. You must set up the extender using your home WiFi settings. It extends your home WiFi network. If you move the extender to another location you will need to set it up based on that location's WiFi settings. I'm not sure it remembers each location's settings. You would be better off contacting Amped Wireless tech support.

This unit is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network regardless of where you are as long as there is a good enough signal for the unit to connect. Keep in mind though that some public networks do not allow extender connections or some may have a splash page where login information like a username and password may be required to connect and the extender does not have that option so it will not work.

Yes, you can extend your network between buildings with the M5. Miles, my setup is a short haul at 0.6 of a mile, but if you have line of site believe the specs.
