Q: where should i put the device next to my router or the opposite side of the house
A: The device setup next to your router is redundant and pointless. Your main router is already there. You want the extension, so yes, plug in after setup any room in center of the home or opposite side of the house. Try different outlets until you get the desired results. You will! This device is phenomenal. Works all day long with same signal strength strength presently supplied from your ISP provider. Hope that helps! God Bless Woody
Q: is this a different wifi network or does it just increase the signal strength?
A: It extends your exiting network, but it also creates an EXT SSID name as well.
Q: Do WiFi boosters work for Hughes net satilite net
A: WiFI boosters will boost the signal from any router, including Hughes Net, to extend the range of the router.
A: There are quite a few. The AC750 uses a different wireless standard then the Universal one (802.11ac vs 802.11n). Also, the AC750 has dual band 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, while the Universal only uses 2.4. For the average home user the AC750 is overkill as most computers coming from Dell, Toshiba and other big box suppliers aren't coming equipped with networking cards that support the extra speed and range of wireless 802.11ac. I'd go with the Universal if you are an average home user. If you are above average there are other dual band range extenders that may be cheaper or the same price that isn't using the 802.11ac standard. Likewise, if you are a power user, on the cutting edge of technology and know that your card is capable of 802.11ac and would like the new technology, then the 750 is great! Any questions about wireless standards can be found by searching about it on Google or Wikipedia.
Q: Does this device also increase the internet speed?
A: Your speed is determined by your plan through your ISP provider. It will not increase speed therefore, but will increase the signal from your main router anywhere in your home. You can simply plug it in anywhere and if you have more rooms than we had, buy a second or a third. For the price, it's unmatched and works like a champ 100% reliable. Hope this helped as well. God Bless Woody
Q: Support more than one extender?
A: Yes and hope you can see my other posts as well. Pairing not an issue. They all work the same way. Just a quick setup next to your router and the device picks up all necessary info and then just go plug it in any outlet, anywhere. Hope this helped! Best 49 bucks I've ever spent to solve similar problem. Regards, God Bless Woody
A: Ethernet cable not necessary unless you desire a direct connect. Back bedroom is router, 1000 ft. away is this device. I now have wifi in garage and backyard.
A: This device worked well to extend signal inside a metal walled office, (with door open), where signal had been poor, or none. I was quite pleased to note that this Netgear device worked with two laptops running Linux Mint operating systems, which i switched to recently. No configuration necessary to run in Linux.
