Question 1

I'm having trouble setting up. My router does not have a WPS button. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

Same thing happened to me. I have an Arris cable modem which has no WPS button. You're gonna' have to configure it manually (the instructions explain how to do it). Just plug the D-Link in an outlet from which you have line-of-sight to your current router; in your computer (which should also have line-of-sight to the D-Link, just to make sure you're in optimal range) connect to the D-Link just as you would connect to any wireless network (you'll see that the wireless connection will display "Connected. No internet access"); then open your browser and go to the local page indicated in the instructions (http://dlink-328/ or something like that) and log in using the supplied information (on the instructions), from there you will be able to select your current router and assign a name and password to your D-Link range extender (as per the installation wizard instructions). After that you'll see the little light fixed green. Then you can move the D-Link to another outlet and after a few minutes you'll see the little light fixed green again. You're good to go. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Question 2

Can I use several of these extenders to connect to the same wireless network?

Accepted Answer

I believe you would but you'd probably have to configure each additional extender manually. Let's think about this logically: the first extender (D-Link 1) will connect to your router but you need your second extender (D-Link 2) to connect to your first extender and so on (the third to the second, the fourth to the third). In order to achieve this, again, you might have to configure each additional D-Link manually (the instructions are included). The connection would be like a daisy chain (ROUTER > D-LINK#1 > D-LINK#2 > D-LINK#3). You'll be able to assign each extension point its own name and password, like "Basement WiFi", "Backyard WiFi" or whatever.

Do note that speed will diminish with every new connection so you might experience slower speeds. Again... I haven't tried this, but if we look at it logically there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
