Can I use this to connect my wired/wireless home LAN to a cable modem 600 feet away (with lots of trees in between)? If so do I need to buy 1 or 2?

yes it will work, but I do suggest to make sure line of sight is clear of obstruction to get the best possible link. and yes you will be needing 2 of them to bridge 2 sites via wireless.

"with lots of trees in between" could be a problem. I use mine to connect to hot spots at RV sites and at my home from my RV, generally this is line of sight. You would not need a cable modem, the typical setup is a tp link hard wired directly to a Host (laptop, or pc something with a network connector) or to a router at the destination. The router can then provide wifi to the local destination area. Think of it this way: the tp-link boosts the reception and transmission capacity of your destination device, but it ain't magic. 600 feet across a big empty parking lot, no problem. Between two buildings with no obstructions, no problem. Ground level with trees, it might work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. With the situation as you describe it, you would only need one

Yes. We were successful connecting two sites, 700 ms apart, using two TP-LINKs from the LAN port of our router. Any obstruction is detrimental, but it depends on the magnitude of that obstruction. We are communicating thru palm trees, but we got the antennas as high as possible to minimize interference of tree trunks etc. There will be some loss of power through any obstruction, and I can't comment on your trees. Aiming, direct TP to TP is important two. Recommend you set them up on the ground, before mounting on posts or towers. We are not high speed users or high bandwidth users

You would only need one of these devices. Keep in mind that this is an older model and does employ the latest 802.11 AC standard with 3 antennas. The new AC standard is significantly faster and has significant more range using both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz frequencies. I understand that it can send and receive at the same time using multiple "channels" on the same frequency and hence throughput is much higher and latency significantly reduced. I use this model for our community pool (25 meters) and it has incredible range and easily covers the entire property, but it is very SLOW as it is 802.11 B and G (not N or AC). Get the newer model.

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

You need one of these on each end, unless you have a modem/router than has a built in output. The one we have from Uverse does, so we only need it on the far end. You should use RG-6 coax. Ours is in the house, so I can tell you anything about burial depth. The units simply act as a long ethernet cable, extending the range of your wired network.

I am using them to shoot an internet signal about 2 miles... through an old fiberglass garage door and some trees. It works wonderfully. It may be overkill for what you are doing though. I wish I could be of more help, I'm pretty green at the wireless stuff.

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

Nope, this is just a modem. Theere is one cable connect. That is INPUT to the modem. Your cable provider can provide a cable splitter or you can buy one at Home Depot. E.g., http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/178-8930864-6470929?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=cable+splitter

No, it won't. It is an alternative to WIFI or Ethernet. Instead of connecting an ethernet wire between two spots, this permits you to use a coaxial cable.

Hi Brian, you can use two extenders in one network, but you won't be able to "chain" two of them together to further extend the signal. If you're having trouble getting signal downstairs even with an extender, you might want to look into a Powerline setup!

William, it allows you to take one LAN RJ45 Ethernet cable run and turn it into two. Only requirement is that all 8 wires (4 Pairs) are terminated at each end of the jacks. I used these to split a customers VOIP and Data into two separate networks with two separate internet points. Hope this helps

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.

I'm using mine to extend my wireless network. I have a Verizon FIOS (CISCO) cable modem/wireless router. My AE1000 is plugged into a computer about 20 feet away from that router. Works great.

You can set this up as a WiFi access point and it has 4 RJ245 jacks you can use for the wired part of your network. You don't need two routers unless you have more than 4 wired connections.

I tried this but had no luck with it. I lost signal from one no matter what i tried.Let me know if you have any luck. I ended up running two cables to a switch inside the house and switch from one to the other. tljohson61@gmail.com

Yes. You can connect this to your cable modem and use it as a wired router to distribute your internet connection throughout your home or business. The key word is "wired" as this does not have wireless capability. Connections will require ethernet cables.

Yes, a small wire has to connect the two units. I'm using mine between our house and a garage 200 feet away. I'm using an existing pair of unused telephone wires to make the connection. If you don't have any easy way of routing a pair of wires between the units, I opt for a wireless unit.

I think you mean modem, or modem-router combination product. It's possible but not nearly as well. The cable provider is supposed to get an acceptable signal level to your premises then this booster should be put on the line at that point, before any further splits in the cable so that your signal to noise ratio stays high instead of just picking up the noise then amplifying it too. In other words this product is only meant for two specific situations, VERY long cable runs (&gt; hundreds of feet) or a high # of splitters on the line. If neither of these situations are present then you may just need the cable co to verify their signal strength is at an acceptable level and that your on-site cabling, connectors, and splitters are in good condition. Many used years ago were poor quality and some even pot metal casing ground that oxidizes and becomes a poor electrical connection, as well as bare copper conductor that oxidizes over time.
