Do I have to buy 2 units or one is sufficient to extend wi-fi signal to the other building?

Two, one for the outside of the main building and one for the outside of the building to which you are extending to.

I couldn't get them to work properly and bought a. MIFI to get WIFI. If I had it to do over again I would not but either one.

you may have to buy 2. because if 10 people will use one long range, then it will slow down other or Kick them OFF.

Depends on distance. A single unit will go far, but 2 units will go further.

Mine works on my roof to 3 houses down and across the street to another house I own. Approx. 600ft with no issues.

You need two units. One attached to the exterior of the building with the internet router/modem , and one on the building you want to have internet/network connectivity. You will also need a router in the 2nd building as the Engenius #2 unit merely receives the signal from building #1 and then pumps that signal via ethernet cable into the router in building #2. You then connect your computers to the building # 2 router either by ethernet or wi-fi in the typical manner. Set antennae #1 to WDS Access point and #2 to WDS bridge and disable dns and dhcp on your #2 router (this can be accomplished easily by setting the router to bridge mode IF it has one). The better quality routers typically have a bridge mode setting. Lastly, do yourself a favor and configure everything "breadboard" style before mounting them. You don't want to be climbing up and down ladders and changing the settings after they are installed. I usually just set everything up on my dining room table and plug everything in and test everything before installation. It's a rats nest of wires, and it gets confusing so don't do it when you are tired. One more thing: Engenius tech support is very knowledgable and helpful. I've had very good success working with them.

One AP has to be hardwired, then the other AP can wirelessly extend off the wired AP.

Hi Wilson! The wifi is built in on this machine. You wont need an additional device. Please remember to choose us as your seller. Thanks!

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

Can I use two of these wireless routers in my home. One for upstairs and one downstairs for better performance?

Yes. If you have a large home with many obstructions (metal stud walls & beams) then 2 of these maybe required to span the wifi signal.

Hi. You do need two devices. Since it is a Nano Bridge 5, it works on the 5 mghz frequency. The normal WiFi networks operate in the 2.4 mghz range.

I have been told that a second inside antenna is a waste of money and will not increase signal. I tried it. It has been suggested that raising the outside antenna is best, and have it pointing to the nearest tower.

Well if you are talking about your old router just replace it, or have the 2 of them hook together, but then you will have 2 different wifi signals and I see no point in doing so hope this answers your question

To start you will need 2 after that if you need to add more then you will only need 1. They work great better than wifi.

Yes, a small wire has to connect the two units. I'm using mine between our house and a garage 200 feet away. I'm using an existing pair of unused telephone wires to make the connection. If you don't have any easy way of routing a pair of wires between the units, I opt for a wireless unit.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

With only 400' if you have line of site to the building, You may be able to mount a SINGLE M2 on the outside of the remote building and connect it directly to the AP that is in the first building. This would eliminate one of the M2's and the wiring in the originating building. If you cannot get a solid signal, you will have to go with the devices as described above.

If you have a multi level or large home I suggest you use the Netgear Nighthawk or just add a 750 duel band extender to save money. NETGEAR AC1200 High Power 700mW Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender - Desktop with 5 Ports (EX6200)

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

You will need two of these - one will be the access point and one will be the bridge.

Yes it can be used as an additional extension. From what I've read you can add as many as you want. You could have one in each room. Just pair them to the one you have on your router.
