A: Yes. It is designed to work with all brands of WiFi routers and ISP gateway boxes.
A: Yes, this is all you need besides your router. I have the same setup!
A: Yes. It has four high-performance internal antennas to increase range. FastLane3 technology delivers up to 100% performance boost compared to typical extenders by creating a dedicated wireless link to your WiFi.
A: I don’t think this is the device you need if you aren’t experiencing weak signal strength in certain areas. What this device does is connect wirelessly to your existing wireless access point and boost the signal in the area where it is plugged in. It broadcasts its ID by default as
Q: Dumb question but maybe not. Will it improve wireless speed at all?
A: It did help my internet speed in the areas of the house that had spotty connection before.
Q: Can you change the SSID of the device?
A: You could disable "Enable One WiFi Name" option in the setting and set separate SSID to anything you want, but why would you do that? Same SSID as the main router makes connection much easier.
Q: Internet Security? Because this unit functions as a mesh how secure is it from Internet access?

A: If you have a wifi booster just outside the gym (I'm assuming adjacent wall) and you're not getting signal in the gym there's probably a different problem. You might be able to completely replace the booster and use the Mesh X4S to give you a decent enough range to provide signal to the gym. Without a visual it's hard to say, but with Best Buy's return policy you can't really go wrong buying one, trying it out, and returning it with the 2 week period, 30 days, 45 days depending on your member status. It has helped to provide a better signal to my Ring Doorbell, and it has to go through an exterior wall, but the distance between the two are about 15 feet so keep that in mind.
