What is the best access point to work with this router?

WDS is the technology used to bridge an AP to a router wirelessly. Check the product manual for recommendations and verify firmware versions etc before buying. There is a forum discussion here suggesting RV 120whttps://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11804946/supported-access-points-rv220w

This has wireless built in. If you're looking for a repeater, I would recommend Amped Wireless. Remember that if you're repeating wirelessly, you lose 50% of the speed on each jump.

I use Linksys E-Series and turn dhcp off and apply the uplink cable to a numbered port and not the uplink port - this is working for me but please use this info as a direction to go and do some homework

Personally I would switch the cisco out as well. You lose all the benefit and power of Ubiquiti software capabilities with only 1 access point. Ubiquiti is designed to be true enterprise grade that gives you the ability to add 100 of these and have them appear as 1 wireless network. Ubiquiti's strong point is the included management software used to set these up. Your devices will automatically connect to the WAP with the highest signal. You can do what you wish, and it would certainly work as you describe, but having an enterprise grade management console is pretty darn cool. I have three of these in my home .

Depends on the router. If your router is too far away, then you can always purchase a linksys plwk400 powerline wi-fi access point kit to extend wi-fi to area of home where the wemo and other wi-fi devices need better wi-fi signal. Here is link on amazon for the linksys plwk400 product pageLinksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.

See the Netgear Team answer. The usual setup would be: tablet>extender>router>modem>internet.

well i use a actiontec router and i accidentally broke my antenna. i bought the Alfa 9dBi WiFi Booster SMA antenna and it does the trick. it should work with your router too.

I am a it pro and personally I would save your money. I have use a bunch of different antennas and I have seen very little change. a better access point is a much better option. if you are trying to go between building I like engenius outdoor access point if it is inside I like a dlink dap1522. if you use either of theses you want to set them up with a static ip they are much easier that way,

Sure if you want to. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/convert_wifi_router_to_access_point.htm

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.

I have the latest firmware installed and it can work like an access point now

Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure about finding the router's advanced settings since it was given to us by the phone company. There's no software or anything. I guess I could call Verizon for help if I can't find where to enter the PIN. I'll also give the unit some time to connect. Thanks for your input.

If this is like it's big brother in the series - the RV220W - you SHOULD be able to set the AP up on a separate VLAN and route traffic that way.

Sorry I'm not sure. I've never used it as an access point. I only bought it to upgrade my desktop to 5g

None the router I bought of Amazon didn't work so I bought a new 1 for 10 dollars more and it supports 5 devices

what exactly do you want to do? If you mean like an access point. No it does not work like that. Buy a regular router instead. Buy this one instead D-Link Wireless N 300 Mbps Home Cloud App-Enabled Broadband Router (DIR-605L)
