“can i use this to connect a device that doesn't have wifi connectivity to the internet via an Ethernet cable? I have a PC that doesn't have a WiFi adapter on it, and instead of buying an adapter and putting it into the PC, i was just going to get this because it is around the same price, and I would end up with a better connection. If anyone can answer this I would appreciate it very much.”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.THIS is the reason I purchased the extended to begin with. I found not all adapters work and/or work well. My router is a dual band (2.5 and 5 GHz). The extender receives BOTH giving me a maximum signal strength with great quality. In addition to a better signal/through put, you have a larger range for your notebook, tablet and/or smart phone.
