Can I plug in a wireless router to the second extender? I want to add WiFi to the other side of my home.

I did. works fine. make sure your router is configured right. I had to plug it into a LAN port instead of the wan port

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/

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.

We have a wireless router for our laptops, but our desktop PCs are still wired into the router too ...in another room. So what do you suggest? I wonder if two routers in one home would work. Our Wii is in the room with the tv that we would like to install the player, so then we have to wonder about how this would effect it's wireless capabilities too.

Yes, just install the software (on the CD which came with the Extender) on both machines.

The Actiontec 500 Mbps is not a wireless extender by it self. However since you plugged one end of the Ethernet cable into the larger adapter you can plug the other end of the same Ethernet cable into a different wireless router (instead of the Ethernet port of a network device such as a PC or a ROKU) if you want to improve your WiFi performance. Like I stated I found the hard wired solution much superior than any improved WiFi solution can provide, unless you have more than four devices spread across in multiple rooms that Ethernet cable can not easily reach.

You do not need to plug it into the router, however you do need a cable and a computer that you have administrative rights on. It will require you to go through some pretty simple setup before the extender becomes active. Once setup is complete, you can plug into any wall outlet that is within the range of your current WIFI. I haven't had many connectivity issues yet, if I do a simple unplug/replug does the trick. Hope that helps!

As long as the equipment that is handling the Wifi signal complies with 802.11 and IEEE standards, yes the extender should connect.

The way I used it was I plugged it into the wall at the far far end of my house and then attached a second router to broadcast a second wifi network. Because PowerLine is basically ethernet through your power outlets and doesn't broadcast a wireless network by itself.

To be totally honest...have no idea. Wish I could have been more helpful. But I'm def going to be buying a more powerful one as the netgear one that I have isn't doing the job as I have way tooooo many wireless "things" working off that one router, even with the extender, still no good. Not sure which one I'm getting. Good luck

Not 100% sure if you will be able to extend that far but what I can tell you is when extending the wifi signal you lose performance and internet speed the farther the extender is from the router and the farther your products that you will be using are from the extender hope this helps

As I recall just plug it in. Hold the on button and another one I think. Go online for this model and the set-up is quite simple. There may be a software download needed. During the set-up the extender will identify itself, or create an alternate WiFi access point. This will be your current home WiFi modem name, but with _EXT. Anytime you are near the extender go to WiFi connections and connect to the _EXT WiFi to improve your signal. It is an easy setup and an excellent product.

It can be done, but the best results would be if the main router is in the middle of the house and you use an extender halfway towards each end of the house from the middle. That way, the extenders wouldn't likely be picking up on the other extender's signal, but instead extending the original router signal.

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

The extender could not be used as a wireless router. It is used to extend the signal of an existing router or access point.

No I don't think it will. I had difficulty getting it to extend my Wifi. It's only as good as the signal it gets from the other router. I sent it back.

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.
