Once I set it up at my home, could I travel to another city that has WIFI and take it and use the extender at the new location?

This is not a wifi device you must have an Ethernet connection available, and if do yes you can use it. You would just need to call Verizon again and go through the setup in the new location. Once your return to your original location you would have to go thought the setup again. There are cell phone boosters out there also that are good for traveling but they just boost your phone's ability to catch a signal. This product actually creates its own signal it's like a mini tower.

Yes, it will. Once it's connected to the existing router (as a booster/extender), you can then connect an Ethernet cable from it to another device that you would like to have internet access.

Are you asking exending the extender? Not sure. But the way you set it up you may be able to. But you just wanted to use in one part of your home and another in another part of your both extending off your router I would say yes.

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

Yes you can, it basically works as your home or office wifi, with the advantage of taking it anywhere you go

I have used it as an extender. I am not sure that you can hook it up to get wifi

*If* you have hardwired ethernet in the area with weak wireless, you can use this device to set up a separate wireless network in that area of your apartment. I think however, a standard wireless router would serve you better. This device will not work as a wireless repeater to extend an existing wireless network.

Yes you need to start over and set it up from the top. The first one of these extenders went bad. Then the second one did just what you're describing, I also had to clear the extender named network from my network choices and reassign but all is well now.

yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network

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.

In theory, yes, but it was rather a PITA for me to get it to work as an extender on my network. It worked after much configuration though, so you should be able to extend the network of the TriFi network (just another Wifi network), just as if it were another router.

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

Yes and NO. You can set it up at home and it might work in both locations. I own two of them and setup one at home. I registered it for work though and it worked in both locations although I plugged it into two different DSL routers.

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.

You can only extend the range of your network with an AirPort or AirPort Extreme, unless you connect it with a cable to your router. Still needs to be closer to where you sit than the wireless router.

I believe you can if the router supports certain features that allow this to work without too much trouble. Don't remember what they're called at the moment. However, I'd highly suggest you just disable the WiFi in your router. The signal produced by these is excellent and they do support hosting the same WiFi name and it works great.

Yes. If the extender detects that it has an ethernet cable from the router, it will become an AP (access point).
