Can this device be hooked to your wireless router to extend its range?

Only if your using windows os. You connect to your WiFi the way you normally do and then use the utility provided with the Alfa to set the device to share your connection. I believe it has two modes "virtual ap" will pickup your WiFi and share it under another ssid all using the Alfa and access point mode will let you bridge another network card to the Alfa to broadcast wirelessly

Are you asking exending the extender? Not sure. But the way you set it up you may be able to. But you just wanted to use in one part of your home and another in another part of your both extending off your router I would say yes.

Sorry but no it can not. This unit, as all of our extenders, will only connect to the network via a wireless signal. If you need to connect to the network via a LAN port than you need an access point like the AP300 or AP20000G.

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

No, it will only "extend" existing wireless network generated from your existing router. I purchased one of these but returned it. I have a router with both 2.4G and 5G but the extender only picked up the 2.4G so mind did not work as advertised.Some folk have good luck with these but many of the complaints on the wed describe my situation with the device -- Hope this helps

No I don't think it will. I had difficulty getting it to extend my Wifi. It's only as good as the signal it gets from the other router. I sent it back.

Not unless you have a router with an extra port on it you can plug this into.

No, you can't. The wireless device uses Bluetooth and I don't think a router uses that. Any device that uses Bluetooth can stream to this gadget.

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

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 can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.

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.

This is no longer true, you can extend your network as long as your wireless router supports wds, see this link http://lifehacker.com/400235/

it would depend on what the signal is going through. But lets just say this device is stronger than your normal wifi router by 2X. You wont be disappointed!

The extender would pair with one wireless router. It won't be able to boost signal from 2 wireless routers.

I would think it would work fine. Shouldn't matter what kind of router or IP address. It should have the ability to extend the signal.
