Is this compatible with a Linksys E3000? I've got a new Linksys E3000, and I wanted to know if the Hawking HWREN1 is compatible with it. Anyone know?

I have a Linksys E3000 and was unable to get this range extender to talk to it. Tried WPA2 and WPA security, nothing worked. I'm returning the Hawking to the store tomorrow.

Thanks to all of the great suggestions and reviews I was able to get this thing working. The firmware update of Jul 10 made all the difference in the world. Its been up and running now for a few days without any problems. And my wife loves the strong signal upstairs. thanks to all that provided their input.

You don't need to use Linksys drivers. It just uses the generic Windows stack and works fine, at least for what I use it for. Just plug it in and Windows will automatically load the generic drivers. It's the same for most bluetooth adapters these days. I have 3, none have their own specific drivers.

Yes, the Linksys AE2500 is backwards compatible, it will work with your WRT150N.

sorry don't know. Go to Linksys website and see if the E2000 uses a transformer with the same rating and polarity as this one.

If you wish you can re-enable the security. First set it on the extender and then on the router.I found that the Hawking Technology extender, also sold by Amazon, is easier to set up and is more stable than the Linksys WRE54G. I bought it for my second home this summer and it works so good I am replacing the Linksys unit at my first home.

My high speed cable router is a Cisco E3000 and it works fine with the Netgear N300 unit. I don't see any reason the AT&T router would be any different in performance as long as your broadband provides adequate speed. I can run internet TV channels, youtube, and music services just fine with the Netgear N300. There are two address set up methods (1) Connect the N300 to your computer and set up the address (I used this option which was very easy), (2) Connect the N300 to your stereo receiver and set it up using the interface on your unit (I would think this method varies depending on the end ethernet's device interface ability). I hope this helps -- good luck. // Bill

I was asking myself the same question as I am also an AT&T Uverse user considering the purchase of this extender. On reading through the reviews posted on Amazon, I found the following.............. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender (Personal Computers) Finally!! An extender that just plugs in and works perfectly! If you have a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, get this extender, because it will work, and work great. I first bought the Hawking HWREN1 extender, and after spending hours trying to get it to work, it would repeatedly disconnect. After calling customer service, I was told that it won't work with 2Wire products. So frustrating! Next, I bought the Engenius ERB9250 extender, and that wouldn't work either. Their customer service was atrocious. I couldn't connect to anyone for technical support; despite calling back repeatedly, all I got was a voicemail message. I would never buy another product from them. All I did with this extender is plug it in, push the WPS button on my router and on the extender, and it connects. Then, you just connect to the new address, which is your SSID + EXT. And that's it. I'm very happy with the product.

I am having trouble connecting my netgear 900 router in replace of my white tenda wireless router, any suggestions? It always shows no connectivity when I finish plugging in all the cables.

It would probably work. No special software needed. It worked for me with windows 7 before failing after 6 months. I am now using a Trendnet router with W8.1 with no problem. However, I have had a Trendnet unit fail in the past also.

well ..for me it didn't worked at all. I couldn't setup that damn thing at all and couldn't get support from ubiquity either.came bricked. But from specs i don't think it's designed to be used this way (repeater). If you wire-daisy-ching with another router it shouldn't be a problem having the same SSID. For complete wireless repeating purposes i've used Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L (with dd-wrt)

I don't know about specific models but this device should be agnostic. I've tested it with Cisco/Linksys and Meraki products--two completely different products and it works. So as long as the device is using industry standard protocols, it should be fine.

After some experimentation, I have determined they actually ARE compatible, however, the software isn't. You will need to use V2 software to see the V2 units on your network, and V1 software (which for some reson is much better) to track your V1 units. Also, make sure that you use the V2 unit as the unit that is the "sending unit", ie., the one that is connected to your router. It doesn't work well the other way around. Hope this helps!

Hi Jared. We currently don't have Windows 8.1 driver for this adapter. You can look for Linksys WUSB6300. This model is compatible with it.

The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is 1) There might be some reason why the HT-WR01 is not compatible with your specific router. 2) Study the review of Philip Lochner. When first powered up, the HT-WR01 appears as a new access point with a new name that repeats the contents of the original access point. Philip gives instructions on how to set up the HT-WR01 so that it repeats the contents using the same name as the original access point.

I would think so, but really do not know. I suggest calling Hawking Tech Support who have been very helpful with me. The Hawking HWREN2 is definitely "more powerful" than its predecessor, the Hawking WREN1 that I previously used. The 1 would not do my whole two story rambling house while the 2 does it well, good enough for Hi Def Roku on upstairs tv.

My Hawking antenna is connected to a wireless adapter card that is plugged into my computer. This card has two stick antennas sticking out of the back, and I unscrewed one to connect a 20-foot cable that also connects to the Hawking. The Hawking transmits to and from a wireless-N repeater that lives in the nearest end of the main house, and this repeater in turn retransmits and amplifies the wireless signal from the Linksys wireless-N router at the far end of the house. The router and the repeater both have built-in antennas, nothing to which to connect a cable/external antenna. Most wireless routers these days seem to have built-in antennas without connectors for external cables or antennas, but some are still available with external antennas. Go to www.microcenter.com or to www.tigerdirect.com, search for "wireless router N", and scan the pictures to look for those routers having "stick" antennas on their backs. Those antennas unscrew, exposing a connector to which you can instead attach a cable leading to your Hawking antenna. That said, I have no experience with any of those specific routers, so cannot recommend a particular one. I do recommend wireless-N rather than the obsolescent and slower wireless-B or -G, and also sticking with a major name brand rather than some less-expensive and less-supported "no-name" brand with poorer software and pseudo-English instructions. I hope this helps and that you get your system up and running with no difficulty.
