I want to hook up a wireless reciever to my Router and amplify and secure the hotspot outside. Will this work?

This device RECEIVES a wireless signal and OUTPUTS a wired Ethernet signal. This is designed to turn normally non-wireless products like blu-ray players and xbox360s into wireless capable devices. It doesn't sound like that's what you're trying to do.

Yes, it will work just fine with a wireless adapter. I use an Iogear adapter with wps setup. It works just fine and is unobtrusive.

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

This will work, but you will also need to setup a VLAN-Aware Router as well.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

I am planning on putting two WiFi extenders in two different parts of the house. One part has its own separate wiring. Will this one still amplify the signal from the modem?

Yes a repeater does work, I do have the base extension in a different structure of my property and I am using a repeater to provide a strong WiFi connection. I haven't had any problems

Yes.....I already did it. It is just the way I'm using it. I configured it to repeat the signal of another router, via LAN cable, and it was the only way to have signal in the other side of my house. The I did the same thing with a $15 NEXXT router and I think it results with better signal. The main router is a Linksys-G 2.4 GHz.....this is the best of all. Thanks for your att.

Will it work to do what? This is not a hot spot...it's a device to turn a wired Ethernet port into wireless

A repeater such as this would work, but if you do not require a repeater to be mounted outside, you're may be overpaying. Thirty feet is not a great distance for a wifi router. Perhaps locating the router higher in your brothers house would be helpful in increasing the signal strength to yours. This Hawking exterior repeater is very good, but is meant to be used outdoors and you pay for that feature.

It should work. That is what a bridge do. Just enter your ssid and authentication key to connect to your mIFI hotspot.

Great, just hook it up to a GOOD outside antenna and plug it into the power and USB on your receiver and it will assist you Good Luck

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver.It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

Should work...I use it to extend a Cisco valet plus wireless router and it works pretty good. It does drop te signal every once in a while but is easily reset by turning off and then back on.

Yes it will work fine. Just plug er in and use it as a wireless switch. I've put several of these in and set them up that way. This thing works way better then the dumb router that my ISP makes me pay a monthly rental fee on.

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.
