I have two Cisco WAP561AK9 APs and am wondering if I use this RV220W router, if the APs will extend as one wireless network?

I'm not sure if it will "extend" the network, I've never tried extending a network with two AP's. I do know that the RV220W is single radio. I hope your weren't considering to use it a "base" router. If you have any non-Wireless-N nics, e.g., 802.11/b/g in the building your bandwidth will depreciate. If I were you I'd look for another alternative.

I have wireless access points out in my warehouse plugged in to our switch via CAT5 cables. As the cpowb said, we set each one with a dedicated IP once- that way you know where it is if you need to make admin changes. Haven't had to maintain that part of the network since setup. Each radio in each access point has a unique name so we can tell which one a device is connected to.

You may have to set the slave to a unique IP 192.168.60.1 and 192.68.60.3. ..the 60 is to prevent collisions with public network s if you want to share databases remotely via the VPN functions.

I configured my EA-N66 as Wireless Access Point mode and wire connected to a switch. My router also wire connected to the same switch. This way my network can accept multiple devices through both wire and wireless connection.

TLDR: Yes.I have 2 separate family member households that I have installed a 2nd WAP. For both I used power-line adapters to bridge the original router to the WAP. For me, assigning a static IP to the WAP (ie... main router is 192.168.1.1, on the router I have DCHP range starting at 192.168.1.100, and assign 192.168.1.2 for the WAP. This way its easy for me to locate and log into the WAP's configuration page once everything is setup.) I found that my older tablet doesn't like to hand off from one access point to the other very nicely, so in my case I created a different SSID on the WAP so that I can keep the tablet attached to one network.

Are you trying to use this as a repeater to extend the range of your existing AP? If so you need to set the operation mode to "bridge". Then go to wireless&gt;basic and choose use Universal repeater box at the bottom. Then you need to type in the extended SSID "WAP-2" or something similar.

As far as I know the main difference is the number of simultaneous VPN tunnels. But both these routers shouldn't be an option as they're both EOL. The WRVS4400N has been replaced by the RV180W and the RV220W is being replace by the RV320W but IMHO the support for these small business routers is crap. There are still a lot of known bugs not solved for the RV220W....

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.

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

Well! Mine came with below software version, generally it supports 5 APs, I would check on cisco's release notes to confirm the same(esp. With 3620).

My Cisco Linksys Factory Refurbished RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender works great. You have to set it up with ethernet first, but for some reason, the wireless computers I have in that side of the house simply work with it. It really extends the wireless connection. I went from one to two bars to four bars on all devices. With one non wireless computer, I had to plug the Wireless-N Range Extender to the computer's ethernet. The computer detected it, but it dids not detect the main router (I use a linksys N900). I disconnect the RE100 from the ethernet, took it to near the N900 router, pressed went back to my computer, pressed the little button on the USB wireless device, ran to the router and pressed the reset on the router, and the connection was established. I didn't have a hard time with the other devices connected to the internet. The ER1000 seems to work with them without me doing anything.

Negative. This wireless nic has ap mode but not repeater mode. Tplink makes a.wireless repeater that does.whT your asking for

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

The Engenius EAP9550 is an access point or repeater device that allows the user to extend the range of the WiFi signal from the main router. So the answer is yes if you are using any wireless router (in router mode only) to extend the range of your WiFi signal from the main router.Also the device used to extend the WiFi signal must be physically attached to the main router.

Controller only needs to be running during configuration - after that they're more than happy to be left alone. Just like any other AP, as long as you've got the same SSID and WPA2 PSK (and different channels, ideally) you can bounce back and forth without any problems. Ideally they work best by themselves, as they'll auto-configure channels to optimize coverage and AP load.

The Ubiquiti WAP/WLAN set up will allow you to dictate the SSID and PSK. I would think it would be seemless. We do not use mixed equipment WLANs so I cannot speak as an authority on that complete question. I can tell you that the Ubiquiti WAPs provide a seamless WLANThe Ubiquiti Unifi is a very simple WAP set up and the controller resides on the network

I was able to get two working at once. Have not triedto get 3 acessing my router at once, but understand it can be done.

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.
