does this system use bandwidth within my home wifi system?

...this is a question for the manufacturer. Sorry I can't help, and this is something I would like to know. charles

Yes! This system operates within the 2.4GHz band - and, from my own personal experience, it uses nearly ALL of the 2.4GHz band. It completely walked all over my router and wireless connections.

It has it's on bandwidth. When you hook the monitor up to your computer you call log in remotely to view the cameras. I am not sure if it can patch into the house wifi...

No it doesn't tie into any wifi or broadband network. Its a standalone system that independently transmits/receives on its own, much like a wireless phone, wireless headphones, wireless monitors, etc.

A qualifying "Yes". First you need your own WiFi Router. From your WiFi Router you need to set up what I call the receiver-TP-LINK end (the unit on the left in the photograph on Amazon) and, following the instructions the kit provides, you sync your WiFi Router signal and password into the receiver-TP-LINK The receiver-TP_LINK sends the WiFi signal through the electrical wiring of your house to the what I call transmitter (the unit on the right in the photo). The transmitter sends both WiFi from it and can also be hard wired via 10_BaseT cables acting as a regular router. But remember the system goes into sleep mode when any receiving units like your computer, Apple TV, Roku, BluRay, iPhone, etc., are not in use causing a time delay in connecting to the internet. Second to note is so far all I can get is the 2GB band, no 5GB. Thus, the signal speed is slower and could be an issue with gamers. Third and very important is the whole system will not work through any wall circuits in the house connected to GFCI aka GFI. (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) These circuits are usually restricted to bathrooms but can be found elsewhere in newer homes and apartments. These comments are from my experience.

I have wifi in my home plus my laptop senses the networks of my neighbors. With the 5.8 ghz audio/video sender installed I do not have any interference from any internet source and sound and picture quality does not degrade. It will definitely pay for you to upgrade to 5.8 ghz plus you will have a choice of 4 channel to tweak if needed with this system. Good luck.

I am not sure if this is the info you are looking for but here is how my router is setup. I have broadband connection that I have a normal wireless router hooked to. Across my house where my desktop is located I have the 843ND. It picks up the wireless signal and turns it into a hardwired system that my desktop and VOIP phone hook into. This has worked flawless for about 6 months now.

Yes, it does. Also, based on use of the bandwidth, it switch automatically to either of the two bandwidth as necessary.

I apparently only use the lower bandwidths with my cell service and that works well. The unit is supposed to handle the higher as well and the antenna I got with the set indicates it does also.

No. It is my understanding that it only uses the ethernet cable's copper to transmit the HDMI signal. It does not use any networking protocols. A router would not know what to do with this traffic, and would probably freak out or even damage your equipment.

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

It's been reported that there can be bandwidth degradation due to the way the extender utilizes the network (frequency/channels) between itself and the main WiFi router. In my case, with a 10Mgbps DSL line in a tech shield roofed 2500+ sq. ft home, this unit works just fine. My main router is in the front office and the extender is at the farthest point in the back of the home, so that they overlap in coverage. Online Speed tests from the extender were fine while testing from phones, tablets, and laptops. I am in IT, so I understand the limitations of this type of unit, it's not a Business class AP. Those will autoswitch the device to the strongest AP, where these wont. I think some peoples problems are that they think they are connected to the extender when in fact, they are still connected to the main router. The SSID will show the same for both units, but the MAC addresses are different, so I watch the signal strength indicator on the device I am using. You can test this. Connect to the main WiFi router, then walk to where you have the extender. You should see your signal drop on your device (tablet/phone). Find the "dead" spot, turn off your WiFi (phone/tablet)and then back on. If the extender is working, you will then have a stronger signal than before. I will typically switch to the strongest signal depending on where I am in the home. This unit can still reach the front of the house though. It's not as difficult as it sounds to monitor, you just have to be conscience. For the money, it was well worth it IMO.

No, you should have a dual band router to let the extender deliver signal in both bands. It does'nt transform it, only amplyfies what you got

Thank you! I appreciate the info. We'll be using our home wireless router (N).

I would not recommend this wifi Access Point for home use, it requires a controller to be installed on one pc in order to configure and manage the AP. This is not a router though.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

I am not sure. I have as a main modem (802.11n wireless). I only use the D-Link extender for the remote areas of my home on a Tablet. I do not notice any difference viewing movies for example, if that helps. 5ghz ? you are over my head sir.

I have 35Mbps and it works fine. I was able to use it with a split Ethernet cable connection to my router also without any problems. I would advise against using a wireless connection based on my experience though.

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

This system wifi only works with the unit it is synchronized with. It has nothing to do with your internet.
