Does this create a second wireless network you need to switch to when you go to dead zones or does it use the same existing network name?

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. It uses the same network name.

This device is strickly a range extender. Once tied to you network it broadcasts the same network name (SSID). For example, I have a shop that sits 400 ft from my home. When inside of the shop I only receive 25% wireless signal. I setup the extender at my residence, then unplugged it and move it to the shop. The extender only sees 25 % wireless but boosts the signal in my shop to 100%. This is a great product for 2 story homes or anywhere wireless signal is weak. Just follow the easy setup instructions and it works in less that 3 minutes.

It uses the same SSID as your router, But they show up as separate networks.

this creates an additional signal named "Wireless-N" that extends your main signal. Devices can still access the main signal though

wireless feature works well for our small network. Don't know the difference between to two models though.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

Sorry I have no experience with integrating ONelink with another wireless system. What you are getting at does intrigue me.

yes. That's exactly how mine is set up, as an access point plugged into my main router via an Ethernet cable. One of the choices in the setup menu is "access point". I then use my same radio SSID and password in the D-link as my main wireless router. When I move away from the main router toward the D-link, the wifi locks into the D-link and I get full strength bars. It works great.

No it does not. You'll need Dynamic Link Aggregation which can be found in Netgear GS716Tv3.

In repeater mode it is just extending the network you already have so it is pretty straight forward. It is a good idea to access the setup to make sure it is properly configured however.

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

should be fine just turn off dhcp and if you have to... point most of the ips towards youf router(dns,dhcp,gateway). You'll still need a seperate wifi "id" I think.

It creates another wifi network to connect to using the same source of internet.

By default this set of antennas is in bridge mode. So the subnet is the same at the source as the destination. I don't see a problem to connect a repeater directly. I connected a switch and a wireless access point at the destination given the fact that my dhcp setup is handled at the source.

No it doesn't repeat the wifi signal. It just gives you the 4 ethernet ports. Worked great for me for the first year, then died.

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.

It actually picks up your home network SSID and then adds the following: _RE. So, if your home network was say...mynetwork then the range extender would be named" mynetwork_RE

These APs don't support traditional WDS nor the enterprise Cisco wireless controllers but do have a built-in central configuration called Single Point Setup. Single Point Setup works with identical models (all WAP121 or all WAP321) and allows you to configure the first one and have the additional ones join "the cluster".

Nope. These newer routers can autosense straight line vs. crossover automatically, so you don't have to worry about that anymore. If you buy another model that still has the crossover port, it will be clearly marked, and usually has a switch, but those are becoming ancient history.
