connected in 2 levels.second one is connected to router. My connection speed is 25 mbps. But I get only 2 MBPS on second router

So your running 2 routers? using the 2nd as an extender? Have tried connecting direct to a computer and checked the speed?

I don't know the exact number but I have successfully connected 3 devices. Jus keep in mind the more device you connect you may have reduced speed.

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

I used to have Cisco WRT54G router to work with this repeater. I noticed that the entire wireless network slowed down to under 10Mbps, while the cable service rate is 50Mbps. Recently I switched to Netgear AC router, and found that only those devices connected to this repeater got downgraded in data rate while others connected to the main AC router remained at 50Mbps.

Also and obviously..you cannot connect to 2 networks at a time. It's possible your pc won't show it unless disconnected from your network.

The best info I can find shows that the 2nd gen had 10m WAN ports. If that's true then "yes!" It might be worth checking your config utility to see if there's a port speed setting (or any reference to speed). I had these symptoms with an old Linksys and was blown away when the WAN port bottleneck was lifted (when i bought a new router with a 100M WAN port). I still never got more than about 15Mbps WiFi (even though wired was faster) but it was noticeably better. YMMV.

The extender should be somewhere in between the device you are trying to connect and the router. It'll essentially double the range of your WiFi ( if placed in the right place) But it will slow down its speed tremendously.

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...

Although I haven't tried it myself over a "slow" connection, the manual says that a connection speed of 1Mbps is the minimum required and it is helpful to verify that you meet the requirement by visiting www.SpeedTest.net

It's been a while since I set it up, but it should connect to another router in Bridge Mode. Download the manual from the TP-LINK website to check for yourself.

Whether the router line enters a Low, Med, or High port on the switch, there is no impact on the speed of connected devices. I tested this. Also, the relative speed of connected devices does not vary between the Low, Med, or High ports unless there is a lot of traffic (e.g., streaming HD video) on a higher-priority port. The switch will then take some bandwidth from lower priority ports to ensure the quality of service on the higher priority port. Nearly all of the time, all ports will operate at the same high speed. WD should really document these things better, because while they're obvious to IT professionals, they're far from obvious to the home users that this product is marketed towards.

Hi mamdouh. Since this is a dual band wireless adapter, the 2.4 GHz has a wider range than the 5GHz network. But, the adapter's speed itself is up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency.

Very valid question. Although the unit has 10/100Mbps ports, the transmission rate in between units can be up to 500Mbps. With their crummy management software I can see that at my home in between the units I'm able to get about a 145Mbps connection on the horrible wiring job in my home. So when thinking about this, the 500Mbps unit or 200 Mbps unit are talking about the transmission rate capabilities between each other, not maximum attainable network speeds, with that in mind depending on your wiring and distance between units that number can drop significantly.

Not possible with my router (WNR3500 which is 2.4Ghz) . Needs to be 5Ghz. I'm returning the bridge and getting the bundle which is two of them.

I apologize I'm not sure. I'm using 802.11n which has a greater range and is also faster than 802.11g.

As others have pointed out, this device requires drivers from Netgear, so I think this is not product to solve your problem. Have you considered moving your existing router to improve signal strength or adding a second router, I added a second wireless router and my dead zones were gone.
