Does it use same SSID (Network Name) created on main router? or it creates new wifi network name?

Yes it creates a new SSID with an RE extension. However you can clone your existing network to reflect the same name with -RE Eliminating confusion.

you access your main router using its SSID, then you set a SSID for the new router--you can use any ID you want, even the same as your original/main router. It will name it with a RE extension. Range Extender. I've used the help line and they are extremely helpful. I'd call the manufacturer: (888) 573-8820 they are very helpful.

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

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 remember but when I plugged it into my existing FIOS network on a MoCa cable it configured itself. All I had to was to rename the AP ßID

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

Not that ignorant Julie. Belkin has told me to change both the name and password for my wifi network. I tried just changing password originally but that didn't work. They said my computer may have saved the old name and password and to delete the network before changing all of this then to try again. We will see.......

Adding a second one should have no issues, since it just (like the first one) would pass along the signal using the same SSID and connection password of your original access point.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

unit should be located midway between router and your device. N150 will have its own SSID. Router SSIS_ EXT

It will repeat its own, a different SSID.Read the instructions and reset the repeater.

During the initial setup you will have to type in your SSID...But once you have finished going through the setup and KNOW your SSID and PASSWORD..You have the option of "hiding" your SSID by not broadcasting it....

You use the same security you would use on any router or wireless setup. Usually requires at least 8 digit password, will broadcast ssid, (name) like "MARSHALLW" or whatever you name it as or it can choose its own, and then you create a password, 8 digits. If you don't know that password, you will spend a long long time trying to figure it out. I could do the math, but if there are 10 numbers and 26 letters ==thats 36 choices for each of the 8 characters in password. it would go like this to guess: # of choices for first character? 36 , second? 36, and so on, so 36 to 8th power. Thats a bunch of choices to try in order to crack that password. You use the same security you would use on any router or wireless setup.

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

OK, I will post a more detailed explanation when I have more time, but I have found through trial and error that the device will find the network much faster when your router is NOT broadcasting SSID. I have no idea why, or if it will even help in your case, but it may be worth a try.

I just plugged the network extender (alone) into my house's coaxial cable network and it automatically synced up with my FIOS router. It even duplicated the SSID and security. I didn't have to do anything. That was fantastic. Although I do have the option to change these settings if I want to create a different SSID.

Some wireless routers I know come with manufacturer's standard default admin username and password, and the wireless signal is unprotected out of the box -- no security setting enabled by default. This router has a unique username/password combination for each device (as opposed to the same username and password for a model line or even all wireless routers from the same manufacturer) and the Wi-Fi signal is secured out of the box protecting you from any possible hijacking while trying to configure it. I will also suggest completing configuration before plugging it on the ISP network. This applies to Trendnet AC1200. I am assuming the AC1750 is defaulted to the same settings but I have not physically seen it.

have you put in the ssid and password from your internet device i.e. router, jetpack?info is located on device. i setup my neice's with a comcast router.
