Contrary to the description, this does not function as a client router like the older 743 did. I bought one of these to replace a 743 in a remote location, and it could not do the job. The 743 could be put in true client router mode with dhcp off and then connected via wifi to your existing router/access point and you'd be on your same LAN. TP-Link eventually told me it couldn't do it. Maybe they updated the firmware by now.

One end of the ethernet cable plugs into the bottom of the PlugLink the other goes to either your router or the device you wish to connect. It takes two Asoka devices to make this work. One should be in the area of your router and the other can be in any room in your house that needs the connection to a device. Sometimes wi-fi is not strong enough but your electrical system makes for good network cabling.

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 don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

Yes. I did this downstairs with a second adapter to switch Ethernet to multiple devices. The first one upstairs gets Ethernet directly from my router.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

Not exactly. This works just like your home WiFi router except there is only the one internet input connection. You the Ethernet connection from your internet router and plug it in the mini router. Now you will have a WiFi signal from which you can connect WiFi enabled devices.

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)

The Engenius EAP9550 is an access point or repeater device that allows the user to extend the range of the WiFi signal from the main router. So the answer is yes if you are using any wireless router (in router mode only) to extend the range of your WiFi signal from the main router.Also the device used to extend the WiFi signal must be physically attached to the main router.

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.

Designed to connect to existing wifi router and extend wifi range. There is no need to connect to router with Ethernet cable. Connect to computer with Ethernet cable away from router and follow the installation instructions to setup the wifi connection to your existing wifi router.

I have this unit, and my understanding of this unit is that it will repeat the signal it receives, extending the coverage area of the signal. If the signal from the router is weak, the extended signal will also be weak. If this range extender could be placed on a higher floor, in an area of the building where there is a strong signal, it could then give you a better signal in the basement.

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

It uses the same network name. If you are closer to your main router and the signal is stronger there it will use the main router. If you wonder off across the country and the extender has a better signal to your router then it will switch to it. I have my extender out in my workshop 100' from my main router and I can carry my laptop from my house out to the workshop without loosing the signal. You use the same security code as you use for the main router. i have a Bi-quad antenna connected to one antenna pointed at my house and the antenna that came with it on the other. I get excellent signal strength and the same upload and download speeds as being connected to the main router.

You can use it for either. If you use it as a 'repeater' it shows up the exact same way as it would if you were hooking up to your existing WiFi network. If you use it as a 'bridge' it uses your existing WiFi to create a new WiFi network. Both ways work fine.
