If I were to set my router to operate only at 5 GHz & connect this bridge to a device that can only handle 2.4 GHz (e.g. PS4), would the device work?

Hi Robby. If you plug in the Linksys WES610N to your PS4's Ethernet port, the bridge will act as the wireless adapter. It will only see the 5 GHz network of the wireless router.

It's just a mistype. It is designed for and works in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges like normal.

Yes it can - my router has 5GHZ Frequency and 2.4GHZ, I can use either one.

The specs say as long as you can connect ur device via Ethernet and the bridge is connected to ur network it should work. I have my bluray connected and it works great.

no, it's compatible with 2.4GHz. But in usual, the router has 5GHz and also 2.4GHz.

The extender needs a 5Ghz signal to extend. If you only have a 2.4ghz then you will be able to skip extending a 5Gz signal.

If your router doesn't have Moca then you will need 2 of these. One at your router and another to your ps4 then it will work fine

I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

No, your router have internal antenas I recomend to you to use the ASUS (EA-N66) Dual Band N450 Ultra-Fast Wireless 3-In-1 (AP, Repeater, Ethernet Adapter) Adapter With High-Power and you can use it as a repeter. I love the product, if you are goin to buy it read the instructions from asus website.

Because the frequency is 2.4Ghz, it is same with the router. Please try to switch the channel from 1,2 3,4 behind the item. Wish it will help.

the nano-bridge M5 cannot work with the rocketm2 2.4ghz you will need to get a multipoint m5 or a m5 that is compatible with the nanobridge

Hi. You do need two devices. Since it is a Nano Bridge 5, it works on the 5 mghz frequency. The normal WiFi networks operate in the 2.4 mghz range.

Sure but the bridge will not pass data at gigabit speed. I think it will only pass 11 mbps which for us is not an issue since we only have 6 mbps internet. The bridge replaces a wire but will be limited in it's bandwidth but will not affect anything on the main router. I always add a switch and a WAP after the bridge to expand the system.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

It works perfectly as an access point provided the device that is trying to connect to it is a 5GHz device, i.e., iPads will connect. iPhones 5 and above will connect. iPhones 4s and prior will not. A 2.4Ghz device will not connect. A 5Ghz device will.

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

Hello Molly, No, It's a wireless router. The 5 GHz band has a shorter range compared to a 2.4 GHz band because in radio frequencies, the higher the frequency the shorter its range. In other words, if you are using a lower frequency like the 2.4 GHz, the distance it will cover will be greater than the 5 GHz band. If you want to "extend" and\or increase weak signal within an area, than you will need to invest in a wireless range extender. I hope I was able to understand your question?
