It appears that this extender does not connect to the latest model offered by AT&T, Cisco DPH154. Can anyone tell me if This is not correct?

You are correct... the DPH154 does not have a port available on the rear case surface for the antenna to hook to. The earlier versions, the DPH151 and DPH153 do have that port available. Supposedly on the circuit board of the DPH154 there is a port for this, but that is beneath the plastic case, and you cannot open these up without ruining them. Cisco/ATT has built in security jumpers that fall out and trigger failure codes if the case is tampered with.

Here is my personal view. CISCO routers are amongst the most difficult routers to configure and especially with Apple Devices. I had 02 and I gave up and bought an Apple Airport. Not only are the Routers (E2000 and the Wireless Extender) challenging to set up, they also keep crashing which requires constant work and setting up. So do yourself a favour and choose a different router. You can look at Apple (seamless integration) or ASUS or any other robust brand. I personally will never buy CISCO again.

Sorry but I haven't managed to make it work myself. I was just told that my ATT gateway needs to be set up so that it recognizes the IP number of the Netgear device; otherwise, it won't let it into the network. Good luck! Did you try to find instructions online?

In theory you should be able to do this; however, I'm not having much luck in keeping it stable. I can get the second extender configured and I can log on with my laptop/iPad/iPhone once, but when I disconnect I can't get it to re-connect. I've updated to the latest firmware. I have swapped the roles of the extenders and in a single extender environment they work fine, but when I try to add the second extender I can't get a reliable connection. I'm going to continue to work on this as I'm certain it should work; however, at this time I would have to say it does not work. Update: I got this working. My mistake was trying to name both extenders the same. Once I changed the names to be unique it works great.

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. 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. If that worked, 6 should work with one extender. 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.

Our extenders work with all standard Wi-Fi routers (IEEE and Wi-Fi certified). Unfortunately there are some rare cases where our extenders may not work with non-standard routers or routers with altered firmware such as those from 3rd party sources or proprietary firmware, such as those from certain ISPs. We would need to know the model of the modem. Please call our tech support line at 888-573-8820 and a technician can determine if the unit you have works.

Truly, I've not been able to get my new Amped Range extender to actually operate. I continue to have problems getting on line via the extender. This is the second one that I've tried to use. They sent this second unit when they pronounced my initial unit out of commish! I truly have not had the time to call and discuss the recent developments with the tech folks with Amped Wireless. Good Luck

I have a Zoom wifi as the main connection and a Linksys WRE54G as the Extender, but for some reason the Linksys is hindering the connection. When the extender is disconnected we have a stronger signal. Does anyone know why this would happen? I'm thinking the extender is just not working at all. We've been fighting to fix this for weeks...

I was not able to get the Extender to pair with the phones and thus vannot anzwer this question. I suggest that you check to see if the system limits the number of devices that can be paired.

Haha good luck with part. You need a VPN software from netgear or another third party vendor.. It is very very unreliable. It will work for 2-3 days and then all of sudden it will reset own it's own.. I am on latest firmware 3.28.. I recommend you going for a good branded hardware such as cisco.. I am sure you will not regret it.

Not sure. We have AT&T. You can call Wilson and they will answer any question you have. Extremely happy with the extender, when we set it up had questions and they were very helpful.

AirPort Extreme does not work with a non Apple product or router. I just had this same problem & called Apple. I am returning the AirPort Extreme and getting a dual band router with an extender that is the same make as the router. Then they will work together....I hope.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

No the network extender is proprietary for the Verizon network. You need to buy a different unit called a Microcell for AT&T; phones.

Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use. So the extender has to be placed in a straight line from your mom's modem for it to pick it up and as close as you can get the D-link in your house to your moms. I don't think it will work but ask For product support visit http://support.dlink.com I switched to Netgear available at Best Buy for around 70 dollars works much better because the support is in fan configuration instead of the D-link straight line. Hope I helped.

I am using a wi-fi extender that has an Ethernet port for connecting the R-N500. I had to move the extender a few feet to stop connection failures and it seems to work fine now.

Mine worked fine. Then it updated the firmware and after that it keeps saying cannot connect to the internet. My DHCP is already on..so don't know what else to fix. Will try to shut down and restart everything. Let me see if that works. Annoying. I heard complaints about network on Sony and decided to buy this. May be time to get Sony!
