It depends on how you configure your network (esp. the cable connections). If you plug the Ethernet connection from your cable modem into the router's WAN port, you will have created a "new" network (a type of "subnet"), new login/password etc. However, if you plug the Ethernet cable from you modem into one of the router's *LAN* ports (there are 4), it will, in essence, become an "extension" of the existing wireless network from your current modem/router (and obviously eliminate 1 LAN port for your use, leaving you with 3). From there you get into higher-end configuration options such as setting your cable modem into bridge mode (which basically turns off the router portion of your modem), creating a VPN etc. So in the end, this router is adaptable to either scenario you choose. I would say most folks simply go with the first option above.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Routers cover a certain range, depending upon the type that you have. The packaging normally specifies the range.They're not range extenders, though.
