need to boost wireless speed downstairs, plugged it into coax no difference. Do I need second one upstairs plugged into modem?

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

You can use or two. I used two for two additional locations. Ended up sending everything back though. My cable is too old and has too much inteferance for really high speeds. My wifi did better.

That's the exact modem I have and this little range extender works great. I have the modem in my basement office, and put this unit up on our main floor and it boosts the signal all over our house for great reception anywhere in our home now. The wireless signal from the modem would be weak if you weren't on the same floor, but this unit was a great investment for us and I'd definitely buy it again.

To install.. Shut down the system Run the cable from the modem to the computer inlet. Hook up your coax lead to the Modem,. Hook up the power to the modem and turn it on. Now call your cable company and ask them to seek and turn on the modem. They will ask for the # from the bottom of the modem base. It is best to get that on hand before you start. . When you give them that # they will access your modem and register it. If you have a router it is somewhat different.

You don't if your shielded cable is coaxial. The device is an Ethernet router. It operates wirelessly and using CAT 5 or CAT 6 Ethernet cable. Coax cable in your wall is likely your Internet service, and if it is you need a modem.

You cannot use this directly between your modem and your other devices (guessing that is how you hooked it up) you must use a router in between so it would be Modem -> Router -> Switch. Hooked together in that order.

Yes, if you're creating a wireless bridge you'll need two. I use one in an office located about 300 feet away from the other; I get a strong (18mbps), reliable signal even at that distance!

There is no input for coax - so no. If you look at what DD WRT can do - this can do all of that stuff. There is some really advanced stuff that 99% of home users would never use.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

I didn't have a great experience with this device, and was unable to connect -anything- to it. But... it sounds like what you're actually looking for is a buddy who can do a good job wiring a connection between your two devices. There's no reason you should have to use a wireless connection between your cable modem and your wifi router. Doing so is likely to slow down whatever broadband speed you're getting, unless you're subscribing to such a low tier that you won't notice the difference anyway.Running a single cable drop isn't a terribly complicated job to do, and is very inexpensive. It's much less expensive than buying equipment like this, unless you have to pay someone to do it. I didn't have a great experience with this device, and was unable to connect -anything- to it.

One unit must be plugged in and connected to the ATT modem by ethernet and the other unit plugged in and connected to whatever you want with another ethernet cable. The trick is that both PlugLinks must be plugged in the same position at both locations, i.e., the corresponding prongs on the units must be the same at each outlet for the hot and neutral. Doesn't matter which prong goes into the hot side or neutral side of the receptacle as long as they match. If the electrical wiring in the house is correctly installed then if you put one Link unit at the modem upside down into the wall socket then the other units need to be plugged in upside down as well.

I rarely use the wireless function of this device. It does seem to have rather poor connectivity via wireless LAN. Wired connections on the other hand have been nothing less than perfect for me. Ask your cable company to send you to level two support or equivalent. The techs there should be able to do more for you and possibly update firmware and send you recursive packet that should help stabilize your connection. Level one support will only try to schedule a technical visit or tell you that you are SOL.

No, you do not have to have another modem plugged into it. You just plug it into an outlet somewhere that it can pick up your wireless network. Then it is supposed to extend the range of the wireless network.

Our router is upstairs in a back bedRoom. We setup the Amped Wireless booster downstairs under the stairwell and it worked to boost the signal throughout the whole house. In fact, I get a stronger signal from the Amped booster than I do from the router two rooms way.

Coax will connect to your cable modem. the connection from the cable modem to the wireless router will be a cat 5 cable, not coax.

Kit comes with 2 adapters. You plug one adapter to your modem or DSL box using Ethernet cable. The other connects with any internet device you want. So if it's a router, that should give out wifi. I wanted to get the scenario correct. I hope that helps.

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.
