Can you set this up as a long range WIFI AP I want to blast a WIFI signal that devices can connect to/ I would be using this and a router.

Yes , I have set up multiple scenarios using thes nanos 2.4 and the 5. However these are very directional and depending on the distance you may have more luck with the pico station .

You can set this up as a long range WIFI AP, however your device must be 802.11a compatible (5ghz) and you will need to make sure the NanoStation settings are appropriately set to be used as an access point rather than a bridge. And the range will also be affected by the client's wireless card, using this with a laptop will still have about the same range as using the laptop with a generic access point. This unit works best when used in conjunction with another long range bridge or a client with a stronger WIFI adapter.

You will want to make sure you get the 2.4Ghz version for AP use but yes they can function as APs. How long is your long range? You may want to look at some of Ubiquiti's other hardware and/or external antennas if you're trying to cover a large wide area.

I just picked this up august 2015. It CAN be used as a wired WAC (wireless access point). When u do the setup wizard it gives you the option set up as a wifi-extender or a wireless access point.

I've never used these as a AP, only as a bridge. But other Ubiquiti I have used normally can handle 50 users. Depending what bandwidth the users need I normally never go over 30 per AP and I use a controller to handle the AP's. When I go this route I use Netgear equipment WNDAP360 AP's

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.

it would depend on what the signal is going through. But lets just say this device is stronger than your normal wifi router by 2X. You wont be disappointed!

There are 5 modes for this router. You can use a wired connection and make it a wireless access point and you can have it repeat a wireless signal with no wired connections at all to extend the range or to be an additional access point. This router will do what you are looking for, it was designed for that and more.

HI, this is a power line adapter, IT does not have a wifi repeater or AP function. Your wireless signal will not be increased because this is a pure wired solution to extend your network range. If you want a power line solution to extend your wireless, I suggest something else.A powerline adapter that extends your wireless range, check out this kits on amazon: TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT ADVANCED 300Mbps Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, AV500 Powerline Edition. Search for that

Don't know if you will get a mile out of this. Also depends on if anyone around you has WIFI and will disrupt the signal. Take a look at using WIFI point to point antennas on the access points for better range. Ive gotten 2-3 miles with access points and 2 point to point antennas in a country outdoors setting.

This will really help with range, however this is an add on hotspot system to your existing router. It is referred to ac an access point.You idea situation is to install this as close to your bedroom as possible. An access point has more power output compared to a normal router.

yes. That's exactly how mine is set up, as an access point plugged into my main router via an Ethernet cable. One of the choices in the setup menu is "access point". I then use my same radio SSID and password in the D-link as my main wireless router. When I move away from the main router toward the D-link, the wifi locks into the D-link and I get full strength bars. It works great.

I bought two of these and set one up as an AP and the other as a Client. They work great to get a signal to a shed 500 ft from my home. My AP is wired, but there is a setting that allows the AP to be used wirelessly.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you set one up as the ap and the other two as client bridges, it should work. Only issue will be line of sight and direction, so if you have line of sight, and they are all in the same general direction, you should be good to go. You also have the ability to broadcast four different ssid's.

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

I'm pretty sure you can but I don't have an extender. I've owned the Airport Extreme for about 5 years now and it's been flawless. I've never had to reset it like other routers. I don't even know if you would need an extender with this router. I live in a 2000 sq ft home and get a signal even outside up to a couple of houses away. If you have a much larger house I guess extenders would help.

Know, these are actually acess points themselves. You could set them up as AP-Repeaters for wireless devices, or connect it to a switch. If you have a router at location 1, then you can use that router for dhcp, and put a switch on the other side. Many different ways to connect and configure it. I have 10 stations with one 1 router. But these can be used as a router.

no from my experience the range was better and longer than that of my netgear d6300 ac 1300 wifi modem router, the range in you situation will depend on the devices your using and the location of where you place the unit, but from my usage of the unit the range is extremely far I can watch you tube on my nexus 7 (2012) tablet in my back yard

you could, but it will have to much signal lost. maybe if you put the antenna by the router your getting the signal off.
