I'm using the 1.06 firmware version. I use it as an extender. My speed fluctuates in dramatically with this acting as my repeater. Can any one help?

I have not experienced this but I use 1.05. Check to see if your LAN speed itself is also fluctuating to isolate the problem.

I'm not sure, but I would think maybe not running fast speed enough to load without buffering alot? I have high speed through my satellite and have had no problems at all since my purchase. I am very happy with it. maybe check with your isp or the manufacturer.

Hi B Brown,I have tried holding it for a minute also and no luck. Now every time I plug the repeater into my mains outlet it completely disables any wifi communication I had in the house. I tried to return it to seller but guess I missed the deadline by about 5 hours and he won't take it back. It is a brick on the floor right now. I intend to contact Diamond multimedia but haven't yet. Not Happy in MN,MJ

With the devices I'm using, I'm getting < 3s delay. I have the 4 port version and it works great.

I had mine run at that slow of a speed due to the provider's link being lousy slow. Whether a 56K 13, 24, whatever it runs at a lot and some old old system are alike in other electronic ways I do not know.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

I did try unplugging the lamp that was using the same socket and this helped a little. It's still far below the speeds I was getting when I first bought them though. I also tried moving the extender to a different room (closer to my router where the 2nd unit is) but the speed stayed pretty much the same. Thanks for your suggestions.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

Mine slowed WAAAY down after a while. Worked initially...I just bought a SurfBoard after this and have had no problem. Comcast says this model is not 100% compatible.

there are better options, I know this could be cheap, but it's not a good option. If you could, try to move the router closer to the place that you want, if can't, maybe could look for a better wifi repeater.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

1. I'm not sure. It isn't officially a repeater, and I don't recall that being a configuration option.2. The antenna serves both purposes, as with nearly all modern routers. That said, signal strength is very strong.

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

I'm using it right now with the Edimax EW-7811Un wifi usb adapter using this extension cable. I just did it this morning to do some quick tests, and it may be increasing latency, but it's closer to my wireless router and may be improving up/down speed.

Have no idea but you need to update .Icouldn't update on the page where it shows your devices.then I saw it on my network sharing center and it updated from there.The only reason I missed with because i upgrade to a faster speed.So you have to do a lot of reading on the netgear website to understand what is going on or other wise don;t miss with it if it is working ok
