I have a 3 story house with the router on the middle floor. It covers pretty well. Middle and top floor each 1000 square feet.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set. You may not even need an extender.

I had lag issues with my old router, with the Netgear Nighthawk I have no gamin lag issues. I own the XBOX 360 (Wired) and the XBOX One (Wireless) and I have not experienced any issues with either of the gaming machine.

Well luckily for me both my router and the Xbox are within 6 feet of an outlet. I don't know why an additional 6 feet of CAT cable would make much of a difference. Just to be clear though this adapter is a 1 to 1 deal. You can plug it in to your router and then plug the other side into something that you would normally connect wirelessly.

I connected mine to the ethernet port in my sons room, which is on the 2nd floor of our house. He now has his xbox and laptop connected directly to it and it extends our network over a larger area than the router in the basement can.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

Dear Lucas, You'll need at least two units to establish a network. One unit will go on the modem/router side the other unit at your PS3 or XBox. you can look into buying the PLA401v3kit it's a starter kit that comes with 2 units in the box.

Depends on the home - if it were very long and narrow and had thick, insulated walls it might now cover the whole area unless you locate it in the middle. I don't do the gaming thing so cannot answer that question, although I see no reason it shouldn't work unless the firmware issue where there is no accessibility for shares over the wireless comes into play.

I'd get a better Router :)Seriously, place it in the same room you're using (if possible), as range decreases with every layer of material it has to pass through (flooring, ceiling, walls, etc.).This is a basic router, and if you really don't want to stare at your router on a daily basis, you can try putting it in a room adjacent to the main area you normally use. Hiding it in the basement when you're usually upstairs will likely result in you dropping your connection more frequently.Good luck in optimizing your location!Gordon

depends where your client devices are in relation to your router. If everything is on one floor you will certainly have best performance | | |, if you have things on floors above and below you may be better with | | __ or similar. Just try different combos.

My bet is no. Not consistently. You're better off to put in a series of access points, or, depending on the number of units, power-over-ethernet (D-Link calls it Powerline AV). IF you're going the PowerLine route, make sure you don't get the minis because they're limited compared to the other series which is actually addressable through a web browser. Short of going REAL Cisco, I don't think there is a single wireless router that will handle an 'enormous' house. Despite what D-Link says.

You can connect as many devices as you have. The biggest question would be how many of those are using it at the same time. This is where the higher bandwidth (cable, fiber, etc..) handle it better. I personally have my Xbox, computer, Nook HD tablet, and three of our cell phones connected to this all the time and my speeds are wonderful. And I am only using the lower band. If the router is decently close to your devices make sure and connect them to the 5 Ghz band. .. you will notice the difference. All in all it has been the best router I have used yet for the money.

It would be perfect. I noticed an immediate difference from my old school blue and black router. This is pretty solid even considering all my devices are wireless

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.

You can go wrong with this router! Ad long as your Internet connection speed is good this router is your answer. I use my setup for online gaming and you can prioritize your band with. For me it was lagging during game play and this router fixed this problem.
