Neither, In between. It needs to halfway. Don't feel bad if it doesn't work. I thought it was crap!

I paired the extender with the router. Then I plugged the extender into an outlet at the far end of the house, a distance of approximately 120 feet. It has worked very well giving us a good signal through out the 218 ft. wide house on one level.

I put the Netgear N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender away from router, but within range of the router signal. You may need to adjust the range to get the best signal out to the rest of the house. This device works great in my house.

I have a mini 110-125nr setting in front of me now. It has an ethernet connection on the right side rear of the unit.

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set.You may not even need an extender.

This will extend the range of your router in the direction is it facing. It is a directional antenna, not omni-directional.

No the extender can be placed wherever you need to extend the signal in your place. I have my router upstairs and the extender downstairs. Signal downstairs is great for smart TV and all devices down there while router is used for upstairs.

No you can put it far away from the router it just has to pick up the signal.

Yes, you can place the switch in that position. But know that if you do, you are creating a DMZ area that is outside of your routed space. In other words, any devices you attach to the switch in this configuration (not below the router) will get their service from the modem, not the router. This will be ok if your ISP is willing for you to get more than a single DHCP (IP Address). It is far more common to place the switch after the router where the router can NAT all traffic into a single IP address.

The Wi-Fi and z-wave modules each plug in to the board, but on opposite sides. I'm using that set up now.

We have a two and a half story house. I have the Amped about 4 feet from the router on the second floor which is near the center of the house horizontally and vertically. Near the router, I use the router's wi-fi signal. Farther out on the second floor, on the first floor, and the third floor, I use the Amped's signal. This setup works great for me.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

You would have to be within range of router. there is an initial setup that is easy but requires you to plug it into the router.

It depends on the diameter of the router bottom. You cannot use this item as a guide for corner work,but can be rigged to work in the reverse order

Hi Robert, to get the best performance from the extender, we recommend that you place it halfway between the area you wish to cover, and the main router providing the signal. If you place it next to the desktop where the main router is located, it won't extend the connection any further than the main router. Whether it will reach the opposite end of your home, when set up correctly, depends on how big your home is :) However, this is one of our top of the line extenders and is designed to provide superior range and coverage,

I would say no, you need to plug it in close to the router at first plus you need the security password to the router.

Our house is 3000 sq ft. The router is on one corner of the basement, and the bedroom on the opposite side on 2nd floor. This was booster we needed for coverage in that bedroom. It also improved the TV streaming on the second floor as a nice by product.
