Curious as to how the Wi Fi Extender hooks up? I have an FC40... does it mount on the remote control itself? Do I have to hook it up to my phone?

It does mount to the remote control, but the mount is an additional accessory that you have to buy. You do need to connect to wi-fi...It was confusing to me too, so I Youtubed it.

I bought one but cannot get it to set up as a wireless repeater on an existing wireless network. Can anyone point me to success?

Follow the procedure in the manual. That worked for me. If you did not get a manual you can download one from the internet. You do have to start with a good signal into the extender. Dick

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

There seem to be conflicting answers here. Does anyone know if you need to install a receiver or not? How would the fan know to be controlled by this remote otherwise? It's currently hooked up to our existing remote which is broken. So how do I "tell" the new remote to control this fan?

It does allow for App remote control and if you have the unit plugged into your Home Network via the Ethernet interface then no secondary wireless adapter is required. The phone will need to be on your Home Wireless and then this unit plugged into either the WiFi Router via the Ethernet cable or into a switch that is plugged into your home WiFi router.

Not sure if it will do it with the stock firmware. If you are willing to take some time to learn how to load on TomatoUSB you can set it up in WDS mode and it will extend your wifi. Or DD-WRT can be set up as a repeater as well.

Hi Melissa, The signal for that unit only transmits via the handheld that comes with it. As of right now they do not offer an outdoor unit that works via Wi-Fi. Only the indoor units have that capability. Let me know if this helps. Regards, Jesus

First of all I am having trouble getting it to connect to the internet via my AT&T 3G Velocity Wi-Fi adaptor. As for the rest of the configuration I used, which does work nicely. It wirelessly displays itself, you can attach to it and resources like my external network hard drive, printer, other computers via the HUB. I took the RJ45 connection (made it a LAN connection in the Hame software) to a 4 port HUB, , connected a 2TB network hard drive to it, router wise it works great. The Hame issues the IP address's so a mini network is established, just like at my NY home (FIOS network/wireless router), I am setting this up for use on my floating winter home, a 38' Ketch in Florida. Fact is it works great in every way except I have not been able to connect to the internet through it, yet. I download the latest software from Hame, still have to install and retest. I hope this answers your question.......

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

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.

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.

You have to make sure WiFi is enabled on your phone first and then open the remote app. I have had issues with the remote app 2 app so am still using the first version. If both devices are connected to your home WiFi do another scan in the app. I don't really have any other tips at this point.

No, this is not a Wi-Fi extender. One goes in an ac outlet near your router and plugs in there. This turns all your electrical wiring into a hard line for internet, not Wi-Fi. I actually stopped using the wifi for the smart tv and went this because it is a better quality signal. You just run a ethernet cable from this to your plug in for internet on tv, and don't use wi-fi.

Hello I talked to my neighbor (I have this system but he knows more about it) he said if you cannot pick up a signal anywhere in your house as close as you can get with your Ipad then it's questionable that you could use the extender because it has to have a signal available to use. So the extender has to be placed in a straight line from your mom's modem for it to pick it up and as close as you can get the D-link in your house to your moms. I don't think it will work but ask For product support visit http://support.dlink.com I switched to Netgear available at Best Buy for around 70 dollars works much better because the support is in fan configuration instead of the D-link straight line. Hope I helped.

the range is limited by your wifi signal. you connect to the wifi that the drone creates, you can use a range extender or a repeater to extend the control range.

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.
