Does the extender serve DHCP or is it just an Access Point?

I'm not an IT expert, but I believe this acts just as an access point for extending an existing ethernet network using in-home coax.

No. The PLSK400 is not a WiFi extender. It's an Ethernet extension that uses electrical connection to connect Ethernet-enabled devices.

Confirm that the Apple device is a router. That it has DHCP server capability and an available LAN ethernet port. If so, it should work. Note: In order for the Network Extender to work, it has to be registered with Verizon, so don't purchase a used one since it will already be registered by someone else. Also note, the Network Extender needs to be located near a window so that it can acquire GPS satelites. It may come with a cable for remotely locating the GPS antenna.

As I understand it,for extending you need a USB port on the router.This specific router doesn't have one.

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

This unit is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network regardless of where you are as long as there is a good enough signal for the unit to connect. Keep in mind though that some public networks do not allow extender connections or some may have a splash page where login information like a username and password may be required to connect and the extender does not have that option so it will not work.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

If set up properly, the extender works well, extending the range and maintaining the same speed as the router. My problem has been IP conflicts between the router and extender. So long as my wi-fi devises connect to the extender and not the router, I am fine and speeds are maintained, including streaming video to devises far from the router through the extender.

No, our extenders do not have a MAC filtering capability. Only our routers and access points have that capability.

You need to decide how you'll use it, as an 'extender' or an Ethernet port. It will 'talk' to the router in both modes (no hard connection). As an extender, any device within range will detect and be able to use it.

No. At this moment on port 5 I have a PC on it with a DHCP lease and a working browser. And I can watch the mirrored packets from port 1 also.

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

It does not. But you can buy a Netgear wifi extender for under $20 and it works like a charm. Although the big problem with this computer is that the HMDI function failed to work for me after 3 days!! so I returned it and got a cheaper/faster computer (lenovo)

It uses the same network name. If you are closer to your main router and the signal is stronger there it will use the main router. If you wonder off across the country and the extender has a better signal to your router then it will switch to it. I have my extender out in my workshop 100' from my main router and I can carry my laptop from my house out to the workshop without loosing the signal. You use the same security code as you use for the main router. i have a Bi-quad antenna connected to one antenna pointed at my house and the antenna that came with it on the other. I get excellent signal strength and the same upload and download speeds as being connected to the main router.

I have not tried this but have had two extenders one after the other from the router. I would think that it would work fine. But call Hawking to be sure. Their tech support has been good for me. Henry blue ridge

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

It just extends the Ethernet over the power line, I connected the other end to a wireless access point, no problem.
