What exactly is the product? Is it 7438APn or 7438RPn? The former one is only a access point device, as the later one is a repeater.

This is the 7438RPn, a "range extender" ... but not an access point. It simply repeats the original wifi signal.

Sorry I'm not sure. I've never used it as an access point. I only bought it to upgrade my desktop to 5g

For that purpose I have to use a repeater. Since I share my 4G Internet with this device through my LAN that´s the best use for this Device in my case.

Hi B Brown,I have tried holding it for a minute also and no luck. Now every time I plug the repeater into my mains outlet it completely disables any wifi communication I had in the house. I tried to return it to seller but guess I missed the deadline by about 5 hours and he won't take it back. It is a brick on the floor right now. I intend to contact Diamond multimedia but haven't yet. Not Happy in MN,MJ

You can use it as a client or access point. It can be set as a repeater via was. But that will only work with the m5 line of ubiquity equipment.

Clarification of terms:A wireless access point connects via ethernet cable to a router (or switch). The wireless capability of that router (if it has any) is not relevant. Your wifi devices then talk to the AP.A wireless repeater connects (via wifi, no wire) to an existing wireless network (such as provided by a wireless router) to extend the latter's range. Throughput is halved.This is an AP, not a repeater. Yes, you can set this up as an AP with the same SSID as the Asus RT-N66U. You'll have to run a cable between the two. It will not connect wirelessly to the router. Clarification of terms:A wireless access point connects via ethernet cable to a router (or switch).

I use my with the router that timewarner provides with its service. If I were you I'd Google to find out. Wish I could have been more help.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

I am not technical enough to answer this question with complete confidence, but once you set it up - I used the Option B - using the WPS (Wi-fi Protected mode), it creates a new "extender mode" - meaning that it renames to a new NetworkName_RPT for 2.4G and new NetworkName_RPT5G for the 5Ghz. You plug it in in the new location and set up the new network with the new names on the laptop you want to reach. So - if it is an extender or a repeater does not matter to me - it just works well - for now.

Hi Marc, maybe it is just the item model # but it is the same one I have that is the RNX-N300RT and paired it with the Rosewill Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 2T2R / 2x 5 dBi External Antenna (RNX-N250UBE) and they work great. This allows my wireless to be much faster since the router is about 12 feet away behind a wall. My IT guy recommended it and it is much faster than my Verizon FIOS 50/25.

It depends what type of setup you want?.. one AP needs qty1 nano device.. 1 AP and 1 station need 2 nano device.. and 1 AP and repearer need 2 or more device depending qty of repeater..

It's not going to work as access point but TP link has another small unit which has access point capability , signal enhancer and router all in one and cost wise is heap also and I am using that perfectly

Yes, this is a router an AP or access point. Make sure this is at the end of the network and set this as your AP.

As with every one of these Powerlink products, the question as to where is the single extender (needed for expansion to another device) available? Netgear? Not available at Amazon apparently. Linksys? Not available at Amazon and their own store says they've been discontinued. Medialink? Please, somebody post the link to where I could find one because like all the others, I only see "kits" for sale.

What are you using it for? Access Point, Universal repeater, Wireless client? You should have gotten a DVD or CD with it. I suggest that you read the documents that are on the CD.
