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

Not sure I follow. It does have a hard line connection if you want. My wireless router for the house Wi-Fi is downstairs. This left no possible way to hard line connect. The Netgear extender is plugged in to a wall socket upstairs and amplifies the signal from weak to excellent, allowing a Wi-Fi connection for my computer to connect to.

You may connect to the device only wirelessly from your modem. It then gives you options to connect via a 2 or 5 gightz connection on devices in range of the netgear. However it must be within close range of the modem when configuring in order to work properly. It takes 10 minutes to set up. I have a dead spot in my apartment and now I'm able to roam room to room without an issue with iPad, iPhone and laptops.

Yes, this can be used as an access point, and is designed to hook on to your main router's Wi-Fi connection to extend signal to dead zones in your home.

Yes, it connects to your modem and you place it in your house where you're not getting a strong signal.

yes it will work as an access point ..but for phones or laptops to connect you need to disable airmax

I believe you are referring to the antenna plug. This is a wireless router, what you need in this case is a cable modem from your Internet Service Provider.

Well, can't answer you that, but i can say that in my house i use a cable modem on one of the four ports without any problem. In fact, i recall seeing another model (red instead of blue) that did announce amplification on both directions and i guess this one don't 'amplify' on the upload direction (but neither does it block it in any way)

This device is a router/access point with cloud capabilities. You would need to buy/rent a modem in order for this device to function.

I'm sorry but this is strictly a modem. I bought a wireless router to go with it. I mistakenly answered yes, so i you got a yes from me oops it's a NO. This is strictly a modem.

You have two options to do this, set it up as an access point by wiring it to your existing router, or just set it as a repeater and give it a different password

Yes, I have it connected to my Router. My router connected to Modem and all other devices connected to Router.

No This is just a Modem you would need you're own Wireless Access Point And router

No this is made to utilize an ethernet cable attached to device. Remember it is coming out of your modem and utilizing the home wiring system to send the signal.

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

If you have to ask this question, you'd be better off renting a router/modem combo from your ISP. It is a router, and creates a wireless signal that can be picked up by any network card that supports any 802.11 specification, regardless of what operating system you are using.

Well I have a linksys wireless router plugged into the modem. The modem does NOT send out a wireless signal it is just a cable internet modem so if you don't have a wireless router you won't be able to connect with the modem unless you plug an Ethernet cable into it.

Yes that is exactly what you can do. Actually Access Points are designed just for this purpose vs. Wireless repeaters. Hope it works for you the 2 I bought worked great and have a "guest" account you can enable as well.

No This is only a router, use the modem that the service provides. Most combination units fall short and are expensive.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

If your existing cable modem/router uses an external antenna (antenna screwed on/protruding from the exterior of the unit) with an SMA connector you can then unscrew the existing antenna and connect the Amped antenna's SMA cable connector in it's place. Plug the AC power adapter for the Amped antenna into an outlet and your good to go.
