If you get 30Mbps to your wireless router, you will get approximately half that using the range extender. In my case, the half speed through the extender is rarely noticeable (only when playing some games).

It is common to loose data rate when using extenders but only about 20% unless your network is congested or you are operating in a very poor environment with interference.

It depends on your wifi router speed, not your internet speed. I use a Belkin AC1800 dual band wifi router with the 802.11ac network standard, that is the faster than 802.11n. But you must remember that this Belkin N150 Micro Wireless Usb Adapter is an 802.11n. I can't tell you that it will work in full speed at distance of 5 feet, but if you insert the usb adapter in the closest side from your router (e.g.: I use mine in the usb port in the right side of my laptop and my router is located in a room right next to my laptop) but it will work better, I've tried it, and when I install it on the left side of my laptop the speed falls to half. If you use an USB 3.0 port on your laptop, it will work faster too. But I believe that the new laptop with USB 3.0 they already have an wifi adapter inside it with an 802.11 a/b/g/n or even a/b/g/n/ac. I believe that this will help you. Best regards, Dalton Miyabara

No, you will have 2 WiFi adapters on your PC and actually you can get connected to either one or both and get more throughput. (150 Mbps "original/internal" adapter + 300 Mbps external adapter = 450 Mbps)

the router is extender the signal but not speedup ,....i have to move the router possible near the original router is better signal to extender the netgear wn200rpt

Well, the WRE54G does affect the speed and generally halves the speed when logging on through that device. Why the signal is reduced may have to do with the security setup and the sequence in which the security was established. It is important that the security be established on the extender first and then the router. I use WEP rather than WPA as I find it easier to use and I believe it is basically as secure unless a very knowledgeable hacker gets on your gets onto your signal. Also, make sure the channel and SSID are the same on the router and extender. I hope this helps.

Excuse me I am somewhat novice.Recently I bought D link N560 router and fixed on my desktop.I get signal with only 54 mbs speed and at about 60 ft distance on my Dell D 600 lap top.Will this adapter will give higher speed and range?I have 100 mbps Bright House cable connection on my desktop.I shall feel obliged to have you reply,though this may sound very primitive question.Thanks.....Ashok

The N300 is a faster router with better band. The N150R works fine it just limited on reach. Mine does not get connection in my garage. As stated by someone else it works fine for gaming when its in the same room I've never had problems on pc gaming or xbox one gaming

It depends on distance....I don't know where 30 ft. came from mine is working great at much farther then that. But the outlet you use in the Garage has to be on the same fuse box as your router. The speed decreases as your distance increases. I am getting about 55Mbps at almost 90 ft. on my sons Xbox.

It seems your original question has been answered. Just wanted to mention that if you go with the range extender, make sure that somewhere in the room you place it gets decent signal strength. The extender needs to show 2 bars at least to make a decent connection, otherwise the WiFi it provides will be poor. Another option you may want to consider it the TP-Link TL-WPA4220Kit. It will provide for wired connections and also serve as a range extender, but not be limited to the range of your current WiFi signal.

Two things; you can reset your modem and router a couple time to make sure you getting the right speed or you can check with your provider to make sure in your area you do get 40mbps. Remember your this router are capable of running up to 100 mbps.

Just by looking at network status in windows i'm getting 877Mb/s. I don't know how accurate windows is. The router is located about 10m away through 2 walls. I run 9 wireless devices from it, streaming movies to all these devices is not an issue which is why I purchased it. I also have the matching network card connected to my main server which gives me a 5Ghz pipeline.

Thanks, for the help but one more question...I have done some tests and the highest throughput I got was 12mbps/4.5mbps with a cheap pair of Asoka Pluglink 9650's...Would I see a better improvement, or is this product not worth the money?

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

If set up properly, the extender works well, extending the range and maintaining the same speed as the router. My problem has been IP conflicts between the router and extender. So long as my wi-fi devises connect to the extender and not the router, I am fine and speeds are maintained, including streaming video to devises far from the router through the extender.

Not sure of the range, but I have this on the 3rd floor of my house, and the router is on the 1st floor which is basically a basement. I also got very good speeds as well. Hope this helps!

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

Hi, I have a Linksys Ea6500 router and tried the Amped Wireless Access point that can delivery at AC speed. The AP seemed to lock up a lot. I then bought and tried the Amped Wireless Access Point that can delivery at N speed. It was more reliable with not the best range. I then bought another Linksys Ea6500. I set this up at a LAN to WAN. Extended my network with great range at half the cost. I did have two different SSIDs. I did try it at LAN to LAN. This allows one SSID. Not sure if this worked or I set it up correctly. Switched back to LAN to WAN.
