Does this extender work with public wi-fi or only home-based wi-fi?

I assume that this Edimax range extender could be used with public Wi-Fi, but I have never tried. If the public Wi-Fi signal is available for this range extender to see, then you could sync to it as you would with a private Wi-Fi router including password, if required.

this will extend any Wi-Fi that you can use to browse, but, but you have to set it up. Picture this: draw a line between two points A and B, Your Wi-Fi source is at point A and your PC or tablet at B. You setup you the extender for that Wi-Fi source (point A), than place your extender after setup somewhere between point A and B.

My Cisco Linksys Factory Refurbished RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender works great. You have to set it up with ethernet first, but for some reason, the wireless computers I have in that side of the house simply work with it. It really extends the wireless connection. I went from one to two bars to four bars on all devices. With one non wireless computer, I had to plug the Wireless-N Range Extender to the computer's ethernet. The computer detected it, but it dids not detect the main router (I use a linksys N900). I disconnect the RE100 from the ethernet, took it to near the N900 router, pressed went back to my computer, pressed the little button on the USB wireless device, ran to the router and pressed the reset on the router, and the connection was established. I didn't have a hard time with the other devices connected to the internet. The ER1000 seems to work with them without me doing anything.

Sorry, I can't answer your specific question. Mine is connected to a Verizon FIOS Actiontec Wireless Router. It works great for extending my wifi signal to the second floor of my home.

It works with your router not your PC. The device download has the code to let it be recognized. Its a range extender and not a very good one. If you check it out you'll find a lot of unhappy customers. The device is expensive and not a long lived device. I still have mine ---its in a desk drawer ! !

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

As long as you put your router ssid in the config for this device it will work fine. It does not need to be broadcasted.

I am using this router in a 3600 sq ft home with Rastra construction and it works fine. I did add a wireless extender at the far end of the house to boost the signal for my daughters bedroom. Without the extender she got 3-4 bars and with the extender 5 bars.

No. It is a remote extender only. Note I returned the item twice, neither worked.

It works with your exsisting router. So you have the choice on each computer to run extended or nonextended. Go to wifi setting on tablet or whatever you are using and pick your regular wifi or pick RE.

mine does not - I can only get wi-fi off this on basically shared walls. Does not reach further in the home :(

Shouldn't make any difference who your ISP is. This simply picks up any wireless signal and extends it over a longer distance.

Good question. I've just set it up to match the settings of my Netgear WGR514 v9, but can't tell if my laptop is using the Netgear or the Linksys Range Extender...

Our extenders work with all standard Wi-Fi routers (IEEE and Wi-Fi certified). Unfortunately there are some rare cases where our extenders may not work with non-standard routers or routers with altered firmware such as those from 3rd party sources or proprietary firmware, such as those from certain ISPs. As far as our information goes your unit should have no issues.

This only works in your home if you have a wireless router in another area of your home like at a main desktop computer. Hope this helps.

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.

I set it up on my router as a static IP address then went through the web interface. should work in any newer web browser.

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!
