I have a modem/router from ATT at the front of my house, and I got this to be a range extender. How can I do that? What connections do I need?

this is NOT a range extender, this a WIFI Router it has to be connected directly to the modem with a LAN cable to work.

The router has a special port designed to connect it to the modem (cable or DSL). The router book (manual) should have the diagram and instructions on how to do it. Is actually pretty easy.

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

These aren't routers, just access points. Use any cheap old wireless router and just turn off the wireless and connect one of these (data side) the router. This is what I do. I don't use POE on mine but it should look like: Injector --&gt; AP--&gt;Router--&gt; Modem.

This device should be connected to a modem first the same way you'd connect your router, for example. I'd suggest to use a coax splitter as well.Coax cable will go to the modem and to MoCA adapter and a LAN cable will connect your modem/Router and MoCA. Don't forget that you'll need at least two MoCA adapters to set up the network or you'll need a MoCA ready modem.

As far as using as a wifi range extender, I did not see an option for this, I just got a range extender from the local electronic store for about 20 bucks.

I am not sure what you are asking? You want to use this as an wireless extender? You want to use this to mirror your wireless? If you already have a wireless router, what do intend to do with a second?

Hello, This item is an wireless extender, you need to have an wireless router connected to your cable modem first. Then plug this extender downstairs to extend the wireless signal. Thank you.

This is a router, it transmits the signal that the modem is feeding into it. If you are suggesting that it is a range extender for an existing wireless router/modem combo unit, no

Matt, You have to buy two of them. One to plug into the router via Ethernet cable then plug one in where your computer is and another Ethernet cable (neither supplied) into it. It uses your homes wiring to boost the signal (supposedly). I was so aggravated by the time I received the 2nd one that I just sent them both back and bought a high dollar (NETGEAR 1900) router and a even higher dollar (NETGEAR) wireless extender and I'm very pleased with the outcome.Hope this helps with you question.

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

I'm using mine to extend my wireless network. I have a Verizon FIOS (CISCO) cable modem/wireless router. My AE1000 is plugged into a computer about 20 feet away from that router. Works great.

A number of them will work. I purchased the following Net Gear: NETGEAR AC750 Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender (EX6100) . I was able to make it work pretty easily. I was able to push the signal farther out of the house (to the backyard) and increase the speed in the family room.

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

I'm not sure it would help you much. Range extenders must get a good signal from a wireless router to work properly. If they receive a good signal from the router they rebroadcast it and thereby extend the range.

I replaced my AT&T; modem with a TP-Link and it was very easy to configure. If you don't have much experience with configuration of routers or wireless just follow the instructions. I haven't had any issues since installation and I've got around 12 devices connected to mine. Hope this helps.

M situation was different in that I installed it on a router with only one external antenna. I think it probably depends upon how your range extender is configured. If it simply has two antennas broadcasting identical signals, there probably wouldn't be a problem. If each antenna is dedicated to different frequencies, that may pose some issues. I guess what I would do is replace one antenna and then switch the configuration to the other and see if it works well for you in either. The other approach would simply be to replace both antennas with two Amped powered antennas, which may provide significant advantages. If it/they don't work out, you can simply return them for a refund. I hope that helps. Good luck.
