If you set it up as a repeater can you plug a wired pc to it and use a different wireless router's internet?

Yes. I have a PC, with wireless capability, connected with an Ethernet cable to the ASUS repeater (WAP) and I can switch to wireless connection to either the repeater or to my ASUS router located a few rooms away.

Possibly, but why not just buy a wireless card? Only reason I can think of is if you're trying to get internet access to a non-computer device that only accepts hardwiring.

This device is not a wireless repeater. It only operates as a wireless router.

Yes, you can set it up for either wired or not wired from the menu. It has an Ethernet connection in the back. I have two, one wired and one Wi-Fi. Works great either way. Enjoy!

Just need to run a cat 5 cable from your router to the AP and install the controller on your PC. No outlet needed outside because of the POE feature. Will not work as a wireless bridge from your Netgear. There are however several companies that have wireless repeaters and they work pretty well.

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

No. It works as a wireless router and has no feature to work as a wireless repeater.

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

Yes, as long as your MAIN Wireless router has these options. It can be done manually through the software router set-up.

Yes, you can. I have a wireless router/switch on the end of mine, extends my wireless network for me.

No. You have to hook it up by its ethernet port to begin with, and then you can use either that or wireless in the future.

I don't think so. The repeater only picks up existing wireless and increases / repeats signal. I would have to recommend looking further into item description on website. good luck.

Well, if you have a Internet-cable-modem-cable-router-cable-WAP121 ))wifi))) kind of config, and place this AP on a different room with a long ethernet cable for example, YES it will work, you will have 2 wifi signals, one from your router and one from your WAP121. If you want to use it as a repeater, yes it can be used as a wifi repeater on a config like: Internet-cable-modem-cable-router))wifi))WAP121))morewifi))) but the performance is never as good as having it straight to a cable, I would recomend having 2 Wifi signals and use the best one on the area were you are at that time. This AP is exelent, it never "locks" or "freezes" and it has a VERY GOOD range- Hope this help :)

You can use this as a repeater to extend an already established network but there are cheaper and easier ways to do this and unfortunately, this will cut your bandwidth in half. You can use it as a bridge which is how I am using an R6250. It connects wirelessly over the 5GHz band to an R6300 and provides ethernet hook ups for three computers without effecting bandwidth since it is not providing wireless connections.

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, you can connect it to a wired port on your router. I have done this and it works well. I would imagine that connecting it to a switch which is connected to the router would also work fine, but I haven't tried that personally.

Yes you can , but you need to buy separate wireless ethernet bridge adapter, they are available at amazon.
