Q: QuestionWill this device boost my wifi availability from my Belkin 5482 downstairs? ANd is it just an electric plug-in or does it have to be connected to upstupstairs computers? ie is it self-sufficient or will it have to be placenta-attached ? Is there a better product to increase my bars upstairs from my downstairs router?

- A:Answer As long as you can get a "decent" signal (better than 30% maybe? -- see the STATUS screen after set up) to the extender location from your router, then this will work just fine. You have to set it up using a computer but that can be any computer on your network anywhere in your house as long as there is a free ethernet connection. Example: I used my wireless laptop to configure the device in my kitchen with a decent wireless signal. Just plug in the included ethernet cable and use the Quick Config Guide and follow along. Then read my review for some tips and tricks. My router is 75ft through three walls from my kitchen. My Wii is in the lower level -- down a flight of stairs and then another 25 ft. So it's over 100ft. from my router, through four walls, and down a flight of stairs on another level. I was measuring around -94 dB at the Wii and had an unstable connection for online play and Netflix. With the extender in the Kitchen, I now have a -72dB at the Wii (closer to Zero the better). This amounts to a speed of better than 32Mb/s and rock solid stability. No more drop-offs.

Q: QuestionCan I use more than one range extender on my system?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, but each will have a different name. For example - The main router will be home and the extender will be Home_XT. And then beyond that, Home_XT2. It's not recommended to extend an extension though.

Q: QuestionSetupWill I be able to set this device up without physical access to the router. I share the internet as part of the condo complex and do not have access to restart the router.

- A:Answer Set up of the extender is done on your computer and I did not need access to the router but if the network is passkey protected you will need to have the password.

Q: QuestionWAN/USB portsI just bought this unit & it didn't have a WAN or a USB port... Is the description on BestBuy incorrect? or was I given an old model?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The description that Best Buy currently has on their website is unfortunately false. The Belkin Dual Band Range Extender only contains 4 wired ethernet ports. There is no Wan nor USB port on this device. You can see a correct description on our website. Regards, Belkin Support

Q: QuestionHow far will it provide wifi? I'm looking for at least 100 feet
Asked by Linda.
- A:Answer I used the Belkin in my travel trailer at a campground. The wifi signal comes off a bldg approximately 200 feet away. My buddy got the signal for his labtop but I had constant problems with my Apple Ipod until I installed the Belkin. Print off theirs DVD that comes with the Belkin and follow their instructions.

Q: QuestionWill this work with my iPhone 5 acting as a hotspot/router?We use an iPhone 5 (Verizon) as a hotspot for our wireless internet access since we live in a rural area. We get 3 bars of LTE with the phone sitting in our dining room (drops to 3G in other parts of the house) and our MacBooks find it if we are close but if we go to the back of the house they usually don't connect. We live in a small 1200 sq. ft. home but it is brick, has a tin roof and plaster walls. We just want to be able to connect to the iPhone with the Mac's and tablet anywhere in the house.

- A:Answer Hi, I am not that technical, but I believe that your connection to the internet, your hot spot, has to have a consistant & strong signal before any extender will work, If you are in a rural area you might consider internet via satellite, if its available in your area. Q

Q: QuestionWill this work with my device?I have a device without a built in wifi but it has a LAN connector. Can I use Belkin range extender to connect the device to work wirelessly?
Asked by Dan.
- A:Answer The range extender has four ethernet ports that you can use to connect to the ethernet port on your device. If you have a wireless router then you can connect to the router wirelessly through the extender. Once you have a connection to the router you will have access to anything the router can connect to ie; internet, network printer, other computers etc.

Q: QuestionConnecting with Prolink H501GI had been trying to connect the Belkin dual band range extender model F9K1106v1 with Prolink H5301G ADSL router with no luck. It always says that the password is not correct. There is no question about the wrong password as it is being used for the tablets, laptops and phones the family uses. Had tried it with Netgrear router though and it works. Both routers are "802.11g"- 2.4ghz Is it not compatible? I bought this unit from Bestbuy Philadelphia last December.
Asked by Mar.
- A:Answer I had a similar issue with a Linksys router and extender. It would not connect due to "wrong" password. I tried changing the password, and then everything worked. Not a very technical answer - just something to try if you haven't already.
