correct, you bought the wrong product! you should search for "wifi booster" GOOD LUCK

It's not a booster. it uses your electrical outlets as wiring to connect computers in other rooms.

I really think you should consider another bland product. I've been having such a difficult time with this one I had to change back to my old one.It does not keep the WiFi connection very long. So it's basically useless....

It's a good product either way, but your wireless network is most likely slower than your wired network and will thus be slower to access this device. Having said that, I have quite a few of these running with customers (and my home) and they work great either way.

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

is your computer compatible with the usb wireless adapter? are you running windows 7? I got this to extend my wifi so i could have internet downstairs and it didn't work. to much metal in the building. Depending on how much you paid I would throw it in the trash like I did. I went to Best buy and got one that worked and for a good price.

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.

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I only use it to extend the wifi signal in vacation homes we rent. So to answer your question I don't know, sorry.

My opinion, yes. Purchased it to utilize speed of N-wireless router. Made a huge difference on connectivity and consistency. Changed memory cards at the same time (doubled capacity) so could exaggerate results....

When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

there are better options, I know this could be cheap, but it's not a good option. If you could, try to move the router closer to the place that you want, if can't, maybe could look for a better wifi repeater.

My cable plug would not fit, and when using it, no more of a help then my notebooks wifi. I thought it was going to boost my wifi, it did not.

Unfortunately I bought this as a gift and cannot verify that information. I believe this works off your home wifi connection, so it shouldn't matter where you live. I'm thinking this product would be best tested under a dual band router, that way you can use the 2.4ghz band or the 5ghz.

in theory Yes! it's called WiFi for a reason.I have not personally tried it but others have with success

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.

I think I have ordered the wrong item I wanted a wifi sender to work through my existing wiring, can I send I back for a refund and buy another itemand you give your phone no. to get in touch thank you

This is the wrong product for that. This device takes the network connection from the router and allows you to port it to any other location in your house. This has noting to do with wifi.
