A:AnswerThe NetGear EX6100 AC 750 will work with MOST brands of routers. The setup must be done in the same room with the host router and yes you can encrypt the password as it has the same setup options as your router. It will offer the same password protection as your host router.
A:AnswerI don't see why not I had the same problem as you I was not getting signal on my smart TV so I bought this router which received the wifi signal. After that I just plug in the ethernet cable to this router to my TV it should work it work for me only thing it might be week since you said you live in a two-story house mines only one story so it might be a weak.
A:AnswerPerhaps you are at the seam between the regular wifi and your extended wifi? Try moving more toward the extended side and try again. Just a thought.
A:AnswerI doubt anyone will give you a definitive answer. Wireless signals are impacted by a number of factors including the environment and the existing network noise. I live in a typical 1973 rambler and have had no issues covering my basement level with the extender.
A:AnswerI believe not. When I set mine up, it connects to a WiFi signal and therefore couldn't connect to two WiFi signals at the same time (such as how your phone or computer can't).
A:AnswerAssuming you have a convenient power outlet adjacent to your backyard, a powerline range extender would seem to be the best option. The first device is plugged in close to your router, and the second plugged in where you need wireless access.I haven't used one, but you can check the specs..
A:AnswerIt should work with any wireless router. It just has to be setup near enough to the router to receive an acceptable signal, then it amplifies it and rebroadcasts a stronger signal which extends the range.
