Question 1

I have a two story house and have a weak signal upstairs. Will this  work for this?

Accepted Answer

It works reasonably well in our two story house.  Of course, your mileage may vary - depending on distances, construction materials, and the location of your router.

Question 2

Will this item help with connection to our LG 55' TV? So that we can pull all of our features that need the internet to run? Also will it allow us to pull up On Demand shows and movies?

Accepted Answer

Hi Carl - sorry for the delay in answering I was out of town.  Yes you'll be able to access the internet directly from your LG55 PROVIDED that it is a Smart TV and has wireless connectivity.  All this little gizmo really does is extend your wireless coverage in your home so that if your router is far from your TV this can be the solution you need.  By the way the 5GHz reliability is a little shaky and I do tend to lose connectivity here (as others have mentioned).  If I were rating this product again I would now only give it a 3 out of 5.  Hope this helps.

Question 3

Does the Ethernet port on the device support wired connectivity?  I'm thinking of running a wire from the downstairs router to the upstairs repeater?  My thoughts are wired would be less lag compared to wireless.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports wired connectivity.  I just plugged the repeater behind my TV and connected a wire from the repeater port to the wired input on the TV.  My TV had trouble picking up the wireless.

Question 4

what is the cat5 plug for. Is the unit self contained? Do you just plug it in, connect and ready to use?

Accepted Answer

Direct to PC via ethernet port is one way to configure. Wireless and WPS are other two.   I used WPS and it was quick even though I would try all ways to see what you prefer.

Haven't used the Airplay feature so I cant comment on that.

One comment though, 5ghz only worked for a little while and then crapped out.  Ordered and received a replacement and the  replacement had the same issue so I just use the slower speed.

Locate it as far you can away from your router and still get signal.

it works but I wish the 5ghz extender worked.

Good luck. Maybe they fixed the issue since.

Question 5

It works with 110-240V?

Accepted Answer

I only tried it with 110 VAC. I never could get it to work so I chalked it up to lessons learned, put it in a drawer and forgot about it.

Question 6

Is it compitible with Netgear CG3000d?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your Netgear CG3000d is by default set to 802.11N and as long as all your devices are N as well it should work fine.  However if you put a 802.11G device on your network, your AP will step down to G for all devices, and at that point the range extender may not work.  
FYI the TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender actually is a newer and more robust product, but with the same conditions as stated.

Question 7

new password?

Accepted Answer

New password ?I don't know what you mean

Question 8

Trying to connect my Samsung Smart TV using the ASUS RP-N53 Dual-Band Wireless-N600 Range Extender. Msg says" can connect to network but not the internet please check settings specifically DNS " I have the settings set to " Obtain Automatically ".Anyone have any suggestions??

Accepted Answer

Try updating the firmware on both router and extender. I recall I had a similar issue.

Question 9

Can this work as an 802.11n repeater and AirPlay client simultaneously? Or do the two functions occur in dedicated modes?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, I've only used it as a 802.11n signal extender.  It plugs into a standard 110v outlet and "pairs" with the router's signal for additional range.
