This router will give you better wireless reception than any other consumer grade device. I've owned a bunch of 'em and I can't say enough good things about Apple stuff (even for PCs and Android connectivity). This router has no "web page configuration" like most -- so you'll need to use the Apple app, readily available for Windows or iPads... so you'll be fine. At one time, all of my home devices were Linux OS and Android tablets... and without a Windows or Apple device, this thing is almost impossible to configure. Like I said. You'll be fine and you'll love it.

Yes! We have tried 5 devices, and all worked perfectly. Have in mind though, this might slightly slow down your internet speed.

Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured. I initially configured the WR02 as a Repeater ( was not easy at first but read either my review or others on how to do this). I found that the best place to locate the WR02 was in a room where I have a Roku and I don't have a wired connection. I plugged in the Roku to the WR02 and reconfigured the Roku for a wired connection and I believe the throughput is actually better. Maybe because the WR02 is closer to the floor and picking up a stronger Wifi signal from the primary Wifi router. So now from the WR02, I am using both the wired connection for the Roku and the repeated connection for mobile devices and tablets. Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured.

This is underpowered for a router table, imho. You'll need to go up to one of the over 3HP routers for a table. I suppose you could run it in a table, but it will struggle with larger size bits.

I would limit to 2 as you are essentially daisy chaining off your source router. They will tell you can't or shouldn't but I have multiple appletv, roku, sonos, etc and these ports work great.

Hi, I think there are better router choices around than this one. I found the user interface tough to navigate & it seemed like I needed to reset it quite a few times to keep it running so I ended up getting a different one from Netgear. I didn't try to use this with any Apple Products so I'm sorry but I don't know on that one. Take care!

I used my IPad to set up this Base station which is a router and then we run our entire office off it for WiFi. We have all windows devices here and many wi fi connections. So It works with the six machines we have with no problem and very easy to set up.

I live in an 1800 square foot 3-bedroom ranch. My wireless router sits at one far corner of the house and my ROKU device sits at the opposite end of the house. I placed the Cisco repeater about midway in the house, near the ceiling. My ROKU went from a weak signal to "Good". I've had no problems with signal strength anywhere within the house. One warning. This device is a bear to configure. I have to use an old Windows XP pc to configure it. The included disc won't work on a Windows 8 pc. As long as I don't change my home network password, all is well. After a power outage or shutdown, I always reboot in this order; my modem router, then the repeater, and then any devices I want to use. I'm glad I bought it.

I believe 4 devices can be connected by RJ45 cables directly (such as a Roku box), plus a 5th by USB, and as many by wifi as you want. The specs and pictures are online, though, including at Amazon.

I had no issues with this and windows 8, 8.1 and 7, Mac, iPad, etc, you name it, It worked just fine with it. depending on the area you want to cover you might want to look at one with an external antennas, and I would be sure to get one that's 'dual band' both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, and I had no problem with a very compilated network, including 2 additional swtiches after it and a motorola surfboard DOCsis 3.0 modem before it in place of the cable companies little docsis 2.x thing that kept jamming me up. Increased my speeds by 2x for no additional monthly modem rental

Yes , just be sure your OS supports it. We have a Mac laptop and 2 iPads working well with it. Connect it to your wifi router for iPads.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

We have 1 desktop,2 laptops,2 Smart TVs,2 iPhones 1 Wii console,1 DVR and a tablet in our house. Five or more of these devises are connected at any one time with no problems. The only problem we had at first was it dropping our WiFi connection but with a 15 minute call to Belkin to change 2 settings and the problem was fixed. This is a great router.

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

I just setup this router with my PC and it works just fine. I have 1Gb connections on both of my PC and 300Mb on my macbook also i connected Wii (wirelessly), Xbox (wired) and a printer (wired). Also, I was able to connect my sling box to the router with almost no problem, which also works perfect. I have a switch connected to one of the router ports, that's why I can connect so many devices on only 3 LAN ports given.There is an installation disk that comes with the router just install it on you PC, connect WAN and LAN cords and you are good to go.

From what I saw on another page, from TP Link: Though the speed of the Ethernet port is limited to 100mbps, the data transmission and receiveing between the devices will be approximitaley 500mbps, given the integrity of the circuit. Someone else posted that essentially if you add more than 2 of these in your house, the combined bandwidth could be up to 500mb. In my case, I had a near-wifi dead zone (1 bar, Amazon prime wouldn't stream), and after adding this, and a wifi router I turned into an AP, I can now stream Amazon prime without any issues, via ethernet to my roku, and wifi on my other devices gets MUCH better signal. In short, if you only plan to get 2 of these, you shouldn't need the 500mb ones. If you plan to setup 3+ over your house, and you have a gigabit router already, then go that route. I got these b/c at the time, they were the same price as the 200mb ones. Good luck w/ your purchase!

Thanks. I decided to go for it. My parents have the older model and I decided that if it didn't work for me we could trade routers. It ended up working beautifully, and so far I am quite satisfied. I haven't tried out all the new features yet, but I am getting good connection throughout the house.
