So if i connect this to my router, will it extend my wifi range outside a few hundred feet? Or does it need 2nd one on the other side?

Our company use these as a really long wireless network cable we use one at each end separated by hundreds of feet. I think it will work the way you want to use it but I have never used it that way

I had one on a barn go 500ft easy with a netgear wifi router in the house. Just one. I was impressed.

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

This is design for outdoor use and will extend the signal in your yard or to your out door pool/farm house , When setting up point in the direction/area you mainly need covered. I recommend it would do the job.

It is directional so it is more designed as a bridge. If you have one device, you'd be fine, but if you are expecting wide area coverage like an omnidirectional Wi-Fi router, you'll have trouble.

I have one at my home pointing to a hunting cabin about 250 feet away from where the unit is. I have a wireless camera at the cabin and I never lose my camera. The signal is a little weak but it works. There is also all woods between the unit and the cabin. So if you have a clear shot I think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps.

I am not using any extenders still I get 100 mbps about 50 feet away. It should support, If you not using everything together.

I am not sure what you are asking? You want to use this as an wireless extender? You want to use this to mirror your wireless? If you already have a wireless router, what do intend to do with a second?

I'm not sure it would help you much. Range extenders must get a good signal from a wireless router to work properly. If they receive a good signal from the router they rebroadcast it and thereby extend the range.

You need to set it up as a repeater fpor your existing router, which is a feature of the unit that is not even mentioned on the box. Then put it midway to the point at which you want to extend the signal.

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.

It is supposed to extend both 2.4 and 5GHz but mine would only see the 2.4GHz band. I ended up returning mine. Also I would not the range on these devices is not near that of a normal wireless router. It is not a bad little device but if you have big expectations for additional range you may be disappointed.

No, you should have a dual band router to let the extender deliver signal in both bands. It does'nt transform it, only amplyfies what you got

i added it to my wifi and got more range, How far the range is not sure. I have a 3 story house and added it to get the wifi from the 3rd floor to my first. It worked for that. So i'll say at least. 50-60 ft. more range for me. I'm guessing that if the signal had to go over a flat area it might cover a larger area.

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

Hi Robert, to get the best performance from the extender, we recommend that you place it halfway between the area you wish to cover, and the main router providing the signal. If you place it next to the desktop where the main router is located, it won't extend the connection any further than the main router. Whether it will reach the opposite end of your home, when set up correctly, depends on how big your home is :) However, this is one of our top of the line extenders and is designed to provide superior range and coverage,

I'm using mine with a new Linksys AC router. I wouldn't count on across the street. Just took my Ipad outside and got to the middle of the street where I lost the signal. Depends on how many walls the signal has to go thru. As far as inside the house, it amplifies the signal wonderfully. I get great streaming on my laptop and on my TV, especially on the 5GHz channel. Much better than the el cheapo Netgear range extender I replaced.

This will extend the range of your router in the direction is it facing. It is a directional antenna, not omni-directional.

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

Yep. In fact, that's the main reason I purchased this item.It all depends on the actual router whose signal your extending.

This device is meant to work in tandem with an existing wireless router. It does not replace the need for a separate WiFi router. This is not the solution for you.
