Question 1

how many wireless devices can this product support?

Accepted Answer

I am using this for 6 devices nd is working good.  I have to reset it may be 2 -3 times in 3 months,   Will recommend this prod.

Question 2

Can I extend my wifi through the Ethernet cord? I want to extend my current network however, I want to this to use the Ethernet as an input and create the same network as my primary without conflicts

Accepted Answer

Yeah, it can extend through the ethernet cord. I did it, and it worked well with Verizon & Frontier internet modems.

Question 3

Is this unit just a plug in an electric outlet and it picks up  the wifi signal to transmit?

Accepted Answer

Yes but you first must connect it to a computer and configure it to extend the wifi you want extend. When you connect it to a computer the steps are very easy.

Question 4

range extended to?

Accepted Answer

I will say at least double.  I get good signal everywhere in home now. I am glad with this unit.

Question 5

I would like to connect this directly to my existing router by Ethernet cable.  Can you connect this by a hard line connection and then have it broadcast a wireless signal after that?  Or does this have to be connected wirelessly to an existing router.

Accepted Answer

You can connect wirelessly but it really slows down the Internet speed. You may be better off buying better router. I can not stream videos with this

Question 6

Is this router compatible with Time Warner Cable? Also, does this double as a modem?

Accepted Answer

yes it is compatible with Time warner - it is compatible with any Wifi router and no it does not work as a modem... it is an extender and takes a wifi signal and either lets you connect rj-45 and/or just retransmits the wifi for better coverage

Question 7

How far is the signal range?  I need to connect from the 4th floor  to the 1st floor in my building.

Accepted Answer

My use was over a very low distance, so I cannot directly answer your question, but I would not recommend this device. Although I read reviews warning that the device became unreliable after time, I decided to risk the low cost. I found that after a few months it would disconnect more and more often, and by now I have given up using it.

Question 8

Will this be good for online gaming for consoles?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what you connect this with, I have a Zoom Wireless Cable Modem that it doesn't work well with. But I also have a older Linksys WRT160N-RM Wireless Router 802.11b/g/n that I connect to the Zoom with and ethernet  cable, then I connect the  NETGEAR WN2000RPT-100NAR Universal WiFi Range Extender to the Linksys,  the WiFi signal is  great and it is about 30 feet away from the router. So my answer would be yes it will work well for gaming.

Question 9

Will this allow streaming video ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this allows for efficient video streaming. It extended my wifi signal far enough to the back of my house -- now I stream HD Netflix onto my TV from my blu-ray player.

Question 10

Can I use this range extender to work with a wireless doorbell buzzer that activates a chime bell in my backyard?

Accepted Answer

If all the wireless doorbell requires is an internet connection, then yes it will work. Although I have been using it for a while, I have noticed that evry few months or so it will lose the connection to my router. When that happens, I have to unplug the extender and plug it back in again. I am not sure why it does that. Other than that, I have a very strong wi-fi signal on the main level of my house now.
