Does this set up an additional wifi connection like a repeater, or does it simply expand the existing network?

It allows a wired connection anywhere it is plugged in. If plugged in to an Airport Express, then the Express would be an extended new WiFi connection. If plugged in the a portable laptop, then it would a much faster connection than a wireless connection expanding the existing network. So the answer to your question is that it can be both depending on what you connect to it.

It just expands your existing network using your electrical wiring in your house. Not the best method but it will help extend your wifi range depending on the wiring in your house.

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.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

The router only acts as an extension of your existing router. It should automatically connect exactly the same way it connects to your current router. It just extends the network with the same user name and password.

Allows for you to extends the range or set up wireless without a wireless modem

HI, this is a power line adapter, IT does not have a wifi repeater or AP function. Your wireless signal will not be increased because this is a pure wired solution to extend your network range. If you want a power line solution to extend your wireless, I suggest something else.A powerline adapter that extends your wireless range, check out this kits on amazon: TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT ADVANCED 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, AV500 Powerline Edition. Search for that

no, the device picks up you wifi signal from your router and retransmits it to extend your range. i have one and it works great

yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network

Yes you need to start over and set it up from the top. The first one of these extenders went bad. Then the second one did just what you're describing, I also had to clear the extender named network from my network choices and reassign but all is well now.

There is nothing in the instructions about repeater/extender. THis antenna increases he range of wifis you can receive on the computer. It uses a usb to connect. Maybe you can ask at the official web site: ccrane.com.

It did for me. I had intended to insert a signal using the Ethernet cable used to bring power to the repeater but in the process of doing setup and config it captured the wireless WiFi signal from across our parking lot. Its been working that way ever since. I mounted the repeater outside in the middle of three metal buildings. I stream videos and play Pandora all evening, no problem, using only the signal amplified by the repeater from across the parking lot.

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

The TP Link works as an extender to your [already] existing WiFi connection. In other words, you not only need the modem to generate the connection; you'll also need a router to disperse the connection wirelessly. Finally, the extender takes the wireless connection from your router, which in turn takes its connection from the modem, and moreover expands the WiFi in areas of your home that before weren't penetrable by the router's range alone.Hope that helps.

Detailed instructions will be included, but please keep in mind that this antenna will extend the range of your Network Extender inside your house and/or around your property. There are no other benefits besides extending the Network Extender range.

Yes. The result of using it to extend a network connection from a hub or switch is similar to establishing a direct connection.

You need to set it up as a repeater fpor your existing router, which is a feature of the unit that is not even mentioned on the box. Then put it midway to the point at which you want to extend the signal.

Yes - this has one LAN connection port you can use to attach a hub or switch and extend your network once this is connected to your existing Wifi network.
