Can this be used as an access point to extend my network.

You can use this as a repeater to extend an already established network but there are cheaper and easier ways to do this and unfortunately, this will cut your bandwidth in half. You can use it as a bridge which is how I am using an R6250. It connects wirelessly over the 5GHz band to an R6300 and provides ethernet hook ups for three computers without effecting bandwidth since it is not providing wireless connections.

Sure if you want to. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/convert_wifi_router_to_access_point.htm

Hi Jason, I am pretty sure it cannot to use it as an access point because I believe they need to be paired to act as one anttenna, per se. You may wish to contact their support team to confirm since I am not absolutely certain.

You're looking for an access point. Out of the box this NIC (network interface card) was not meant to be an access point. That being said you could most likely turn your desktop into an access point broadcasting out of this NIC - do some searching / reading on turning your desktop into an access point. good luck

Yes, you can expand your current network using the same SSID. This device perfirms rather well doing.

It is my understanding that it CAN be used as an access point, but you'd have to install Arch Linux and the necessary software. You'd also need a USB wi-fi dongle that operates under linux (they don't all work). So before you go down that road make sure that you have all of the parts that will work together --- and that the tine and effort (not to mention the costs) are worth it. As a hobby, OK. But to replace a $20 access point?

Yes, this can be used as an access point, and is designed to hook on to your main router's Wi-Fi connection to extend signal to dead zones in your home.

This is only an access point. Since you already have a router this access point will work fine.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.

Yes you can. It extends whatever signal you give it. You can use you phone as a Hotspot and then give it more range with this. Your phone would then act as a modem or router, basically.

As long as you can receive a signal strength &gt; 70% and there is no 'splash' page in order to use that service, then yes, our extender should extend a network coming from that provider.

I used it as an access point, to connect the Xbox, which is wired to the existing Wi-Fi. It does have options to be used as wireless router also. I am happy with its performance for my purpose.

No, you cannot use this as a router. as all have said below. it is mainly used, as others have stated, to increase how many devices you can plug into your intranet and internet.

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

Per our engineer: Probably not as this device is not very granular in feature settings and I would not recommend using it for anything other than an access point.

Yes, this is a router an AP or access point. Make sure this is at the end of the network and set this as your AP.

After reading the documentation, I think it can be, but I was not able to do it successfully. That is the original intent that I had for this router, but after playing around for a while, I gave up and just used it as a normal wireless router.
