Question 1

It has an ethernet jack on it. Will it work if I plug it into a small switch, so that it can run a PC and network printer via wifi?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried for running network printer but it should work. you can plug a pc if you don't have  a wireless card. then share the printer connected even with usb.

Question 2

this is boost the wifi signal i all ready have.?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is yes. It can be used as a "repeater" to extend the range of your existing wifi network. It can also be used to generate a wifi network if you do not have one. Very easy to setup. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes.

Question 3

Can this be used in Asian countries that run 220/240V?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The extender unit has built-in wall plug at the back of the device to used only with standard to AC outlets in the Americas. However at the back of the device Voltage requirements states "100-240 Volt, ~50/60Hz and O.21A". Therefore, if you can get a plug-adapter to plug the unit to Eurpe/Assion outlets with 220-240V, the Netgear EX6100 extender should able to work without any issue.

Question 4

I am looking to purchase a network extender to use while camping.  Campground WiFi can be really weak and slow.  By placing this outside my trailer, would it improve the WiFi signal I receive inside the trailer?

Accepted Answer

It depends how far you are placing it.....it might work...if the WiFi is still slow close to the campground router, then it will still be slow with the extender...hope this helps.  I used the refurbished model in my house;  router is upstairs and extender is downstairs...my wife's iphone had horrible WiFi signal until I installed the extender and all is good now...we bought the refurbished model for significantly less then the new model and it is working great so far..
