I was not able to do it last night. I had to 'un-hide' my SSID to set it up, then when I went back and 'hid' my SSID it could not connect. [Setting it in repeater mode]. So now my SSID remains 'un-hidden', I've since just implemented a MAC ACL. Please let me know if you've had better luck.

Yes, you can. I am currently using 3 in different locations. You can either use them as individual access points, (names), or just your current SSID. Hope this helps.

Yes it creates another SSID that you have to switch to. Most devices are configurable to use the strongest signal so if you can configure your device for the strongest, it should not be an issue.

Mine is hidden down below. Works fine. Does not have to be viewable to work.

It's been a while George, but if I recall correctly you need to temporarily enable SSID broadcast to set it up. Then you can disable again.

Yes, the WifiSD creates it's own private SSID and doesn't require connecting to an existing wireless network. (Although it is possible to tell the WifiSD to connect to an existing wifi network so that you could access it from your device while continuing to have Internet access as well. I've never quite gotten that feature working for me but it wasn't a primary use case for me so I didn't try very hard.

Yes, multiple SSID's and works great with VLAN's. You can also do a guest SSID if you don't use VLAN's and even customize a guest portal page.

Yes, it can function in either access point or client mode. You would just keep it in access point mode (factory default) and configure the SSID and key to be the same as your other device.

Yes, there is a backup logon, or you can bypass it by turning the feature off. Its so cool, though, you wouldn't want to.

Justin, have you read the PDF instruction manual? I just skimmed it, since I don't need to add security in my application, but it looked quite thorough. You can select different encryption methods and/or change the SSID. You'll need to install the software on the CD into your PC to do the security setup.

Yes (sort of). Depending on the exact model number (and there are a number of variations available in the marketplace) you can in fact create a guest network that will NOT allow "intranet" access or access to the main internal wired & wireless networks established. Asus has a listing of the models that come equiped with this feature. Mine has it.

This does not have the repeater function but you can plug it in as a Access point and configure it with the same ssid and password

This device can do passthru. According to the Netgear FAQ it does currently have to be on, but they state that leaving it off is a feature they are working on.

Yes you can password protect wifi signal by using "WEP or WPA/WPA2" from "Security" options in main menu.

I do not believe so, but the initial log in process to set your SSID is very straightforward, and only requires an ethermet RJ45 connection. It is a stable and very easy to use repeater, better than some others because it repeats your exact SSID, not a version of it.

unit should be located midway between router and your device. N150 will have its own SSID. Router SSIS_ EXT

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.
