Can you 'Daisy Chain' the repeaters to get additional range? (ie: 2 repeaters for 300' range, 3 repeaters for 450', etc.)

I didn't try to daisy chain it, but it didn't double range as specified. My base was about 100 feet from a gate I had it on and I needed the repeater to go through 3-pane storm windows. The base could not pick up a gate that less than 50 feet around a corner without the repeater. Hope the answer helps.

First of all, I would not recommend any lengths longer than 300 feet if data strength and reliability is important. This pertains to cable from any manufacturer. Here's a test. Place a fitting on each end of the cable while it's still in the box. Connect each end to your equipment and and check if it works for you. For this length, I would recommend either in-line repeaters or better yet, use a fiber optic cable.

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

Maybe, but I doubt that it would do you much good. One problem is that instead of "amplifying" your current network, this device creates a new network called "Wireless-Repeater," which requires a separate login and can create overlap conflicts with your existing wireless router network. So I suppose two of these things could overlap with each other. The unit never worked for me. I solved my range problems by upgrading to an 802.11ac (DOCSIS 3.0) wireless router. In any case, there must be better wireless range extenders from Amazon as well.

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

Yes it can. Just remember your total max load should not exceed 12 amps per repeater,to be on the safe side; I wouldn't max it out, maybe 8 amps. I would connect a max of three 16' strips per repeater and a minimum of 18 Awg wire. a home run for each section or strip is not a bad Idea. If your wire runs are longer than 100' you might want to consult a licensed low voltage technician.

According to the documentation, yes. You can use more than one to extend in a big house/building. Just place your router somewhere where the signal can be picked up by the extender.

Yes, that is called daisy-chaining. We recommend that you do not do more than two unit though as the network speed will decrease with every unit you add to the chain.

there are things called wireless repeaters, but i found a better solution, albeit, expensive.i bought a powerline adapter and a wireless access point to extend my range. ended up costingme over 200 bucks, but i now have a reliable signal.

I had the same question. After speaking with people who were well versed with this issue, I came to this conclusion. There is no immediate add-on product that will extend the range any more economically than to just purchase a higher grade product or model. Ensure you have direct line of sight between camera and receiver and you should get good 300' results. If you need a lot more range, buy a more expensive product geared for such expectations.

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

At just 30 feet you would get a strong signal, yes. Not sure you need a unit with this range capability for just 30 feet and nothing blocking, maybe something cheaper would do as well. Suggest to look at the other Hawking indoor repeater units, as they would likley do the job.

Yes, but the extenders work off of your main router and not each other. You could not, for example, extend the range by putting multiple extenders in a series. We have put one in our basement and one on the second floor. Both pick up the signal of the main router and give us better coverage. You do, however, have to rename one of the SSIDs for one of the extenders. By default, the extender sends an SSID of MYWIFI_EXT. The second extender would have to be renamed. Instructions for this come with the extender.

you can run several remotes to control one extender but the rf battery transmitters installed in each one must all be the same frequency

Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot "chain" two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.

I would suggest a similar setup like the one I have.It's doing what you want.There is an option for the repeater to either use the incoming signal for WiFi or Ethernet.In my situation I went with Ethernet but you can set WiFi.See my review. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH7JFVDQHJWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00HQ883QW

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.
