These are the instructions I followed. Connect the router to your computer using the enclosed ethernet cable. Open your browser and enter the address http://192.168.10.253 (check this to be sure). That should bring you to the router's green login screen. Enter the default ID(admin) and password(admin), and you will get the setup screen with blue tiles. Click on the tile labeled Repeater. You will get a screen showing the available wifi networks. Choose yours. It will then ask for the network login and password. Enter this, and, in theory, the router should be ready. I only got this to work once, and it crashes shortly thereafter.

I suppose you can, even in repeater mode you can use the ethernet connection from this adapter. And also it would respect the static ip address you select for the server. So I guess you can.

Hello Melissa, you can use this through wifi. All you have to do is connect to it with your laptop wifi, then bring up a browser and enter an IP address of 192.168.5.220 in your address bar. From there you can configure your smart repeater. You can also use the CD enclosed to set it up. One thing to remember is that once the repeater restarts, you have to reconnect to it with your laptop. Thanks for your interest..........Neal

everything depends on your setting and what you want to do, I probably wouldn't use this unit for the purpose ststed - I would get a repeater, they cost about the same, but - it all depends on the setting and what you really want to do - a 'network guy' should look at your setting.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

You first connect the repeater to a computer with the Ethernet cable they give you already and connect to your Wi-Fi signal. then you can plug the repeater into your wall and it will work just like your normal Wi-Fi.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

This is just a portable router and repeater. You need to have an Internet connection for it to work. However, your internet connection may be wired or wireless, this product works with both.

Go to YouTube. There are a couple of good videos on the modem/repeater possibilities.

From your question I can not tell what exactly your problem is. You can go to netgear.com and type the model in a drop down menu. It will take you to a step by step manual. Remember, it gives you a link that is NOT a url. The link connects you to your new extender. After you have established that connection, you get a page with some questions after which you can finish the installation by simply clicking "finish". If it asks you to set a password, use the same that you use for your router. If you don't get through, let me know, and tell me what you did. I hope you get it this time.

The main thing is to set up the port forwarding in your router. If you post the model number of your router, someone can probably find the manual and walk you through it.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

This module it's almost plug&play, however cannot be configured via http, all module features such as IP settings, serial port handshaking and speed must be configured using a software tool available from the manufacturers web site. The module can be configured via the serial port but this feature must be enabled using the software that I mentioned above. In the manufacturer web site also are available users manuals and other tools. Good luck!
