I simply want to extend my existing outdoor range. Do I just plug and go? Do I have to buy other parts?

Depending on what operating system you have windows 8 installs the driver itself .But earlier operating systems you have to install it off the CD provided or from online .so with windows 8 you could just plug and go .

You just plug it in. Cd that comes with it is the needed program. The USB on the end of the cord plugs into your computer. There is also a pigtail with another USB plug that you can plug into another USB port to increase the range a little more. I never use that setup as the main connection works very well. I went from getting 0ne usable signal to two usable signals and a total of 7 that could be used if I only knew the passwords.

Just plug and go. Works fantastic. NOTE: This unit requires Two (2) USB ports for the extra power to function properly.

It ccomes with everything needed to install ....it boosted my signal by 4 bars...love it...easy to install

no other parts are necessary, but you do have to install the software on the CD that comes with it. It worked great For me.

There is nothing else attached to the unit...it's a completely stand alone device. The only exception is if you have something plugged into one or both of the USB ports (i.e. external hard drive, printer, etc.) or if you have a computer "hard wired" to one of the 5 gigaports on the back of it. None of the previously mentioned devices are required to extend the signal.

I am using the small utilitech led device. No extender needed. Of course it depends on what can you are using as well!

you can get an extension cable for it , i do not know the number for it though.

Yes, you need a 4-wire (TRRS) cable to extend. You would have to search for them on Amazon, but you seem to know that it's a TRRS cable, so you should be fine.

Nothing else needs to be done. Just set it up per the simple instructions. ..that's it. The effective range is only 10 to 30 ft so your neighbors will not benefit from it.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

I installed it on my laptop.It comes with soft ware to down load.Had hoped to get another 10 feet of range,but it did nothing for me.I think you need the device that plugs in to the electrical outlet instead.

I'm not sure. Only have one, but it extends my range pretty far out into the yard.

Yes, cause I run the same system. But you still need to get the male to male adapter? (I cant remember which type) to be able to extend your lines.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See http://amzn.com/B0066DV06I

You first need to set up a home network. That is done using a wired Ethernet connection through your modem & router. Once that's set up, then the extender can be configured using the correct router settings. Natalie, this unit is used only to extend your existing network range.

More than likely you will need an extension cord. How close you are to an outlet will determine its length. An all weather one is preferable.

No, you will need to extend the wire. I don't recall the exact length, but you'll need to add an extension.

I don't think you would but if you do add one you may get more channels that are out there. I have one on mine and I'm getting channels 65 miles away real good. I hope this helps.

I have not had to extend my system, but you should be able to buy another set and use as additional receiver for your current set. Just set to same channel. I did not see separate additional receivers for sale.

It all depends in how you setup the cables, you can alway buy an extensionIf you don't have enough
