What type of access point and router should I use? I am having trouble finding a good router that has a hook up for an external antenna....

we finally settled (after going through several routers) on the TP-LINK Archer C7 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router AC1750 - we found by turning of the 2.4 and just using the 5ghz it has been working great with this antenna

TP-LINK TL-WA7510N High Power Outdoor Wireless N150 Access Point, 5GHz 150Mbps, WISP/AP Router/AP, 15dBi antenna, Passive POETwo of these make a great bridge.

It ultimately depends on the application. I used this antenna for a .5 mile point to point connection connected to an External AP made by HP Procurve. Engenius also makes an external AP for this antenna. This antenna will not work well with an adapter that downsizes the connector for an inside router/accesspoint. There is not enough power and will "burn up" the connection on the ap/router. It is meant for a robust external type AP running in the 17 to 48v range. You would use a router that does NOT have wireless capability, and then add an AP to the network to power the antenna. It ultimately depends on the application.

These are mainly for point to point links. I'm using the ubiquity Bullet M5's to shoot a link about 3 miles. Works fine, but antennas very directional. You'll need to carefully peak both ends.

Router, or is it a modem must have a removable external antenna. Remove the router antenna, connect the amp to the router with the supplied short cable and connect the antenna to the amp. Amp needs 120v power.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

Not familiar with our router, however, it is nothing more than an antenna. It is designed to plug into wireless cellular WI-Fi, which I use or into an adapter which connects to your cell phone. If the connection will match your situation, the antenna will give you an improvement over having no antenna.

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

It depends of the software of the router whether it wants to use which radio to connect to a device. But if just the AD14EX is the only antenna it will only pick up the signal in the direction it is pointing at.

I may have over looked a very important fact. I doubt this router has a coaxial cable connection. It probably has either net cabling or USB cabling hook up. So assuming it has no coaxial cable hook up, then the router and this antenna are incompatible.

There are 5 modes for this router. You can use a wired connection and make it a wireless access point and you can have it repeat a wireless signal with no wired connections at all to extend the range or to be an additional access point. This router will do what you are looking for, it was designed for that and more.

This Belkin unit has 4 MIMO internal antennas for better range and more powerful performance. The density of the walls and distance from your router to your equipment will be factors. You might want to consider theBelkin AB800DB which is a slightly better unit. You can buy with confidence from Amazon, which is why I shop there.

It must be powered from the POE and connected to the router via cat5/6. It sounds like you may be looking for a range extender, but the throughputon those will be much lower due to their nature (having to receive/transmit radio signals simultaneously).

Hi, I have a Linksys Ea6500 router and tried the Amped Wireless Access point that can delivery at AC speed. The AP seemed to lock up a lot. I then bought and tried the Amped Wireless Access Point that can delivery at N speed. It was more reliable with not the best range. I then bought another Linksys Ea6500. I set this up at a LAN to WAN. Extended my network with great range at half the cost. I did have two different SSIDs. I did try it at LAN to LAN. This allows one SSID. Not sure if this worked or I set it up correctly. Switched back to LAN to WAN.

Works for me. I have a Belkin router in the basement and a two antenna Amped SR1000 repeater on the second floor feeding the directional antenna outside. The directional antenna uses one spot where one antenna was removed (which one makes a difference) and the other antenna is for indoor use.I have a great signal from the Amped to a dock location 300 feet from the house and I select the Amped source everywhere in the house except the basement where the Belkin signal is better.

1. @ Emily D. Wollen, This device works great throughout my apartment. I live in an apartment, and I have yet to have an issue being in other rooms. I am an IT professional, and this little guy is one of two routers in my home. I apartment is on the first floor, but in the back of the building. And yet I get great service outside on the front side of my brick apartment building. It will work.

It's not going to work as access point but TP link has another small unit which has access point capability , signal enhancer and router all in one and cost wise is heap also and I am using that perfectly

Any "access point" device will work, as B. Bailey suggested one, so will I: Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-AG300N These devices simply grab the wifi signal like any other wifi device but then they connect your devices through an ethernet connection, which fools these devices into thinking that they're on a (more-reliable, stable) wired connection to the internet. They're no more difficult to setup than your internet router. Many of these exist, I had done my research a year ago and found that most of these only have a single ethernet port--so only one device can be hooked up at a time to grant internet access--but this one most benefited my living room since I have my tv, blu-ray player, and my Xbox 360 which all need internet connections. And this is pretty much the same price or cheaper than some other models. As I said, I've had mine for a year (replacing a 50ft long ethernet cable running through my apartment) and I love it. Once in a whlie the signal drops (like any other wifi device) but it's great and I couldn't be happier with this alternative and it's "multi-use".

I don't know about an access point but I have used the Alfa 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g USB Wireless WiFi Network Adapter With Original Alfa Screw-On Swivel 9dBi Rubber Antenna. It works fantastic for picking up distance contacts.

There are several things you can do to get better signal. The higher in your home you can locate your router the better. If you are stuck keeping it in a lower level, I found the DAP-1320 repeater to work quite well and an inexpensive fix. I use one of these to provide signal to the backyard and find it to be quite good.
