Look at the labeling on your current Ethernet-connected router and find the MODEL NUMBER and BRAND. (The ethernet router is your main router that is connected by wire to your internet service provider.) Then google the brand and model number to find the User's Manual on-line for your router. Nearly all user's manuals are now found on-line. From there, look at the SPECIFICATIONS ("Specs") in the User's Manual. What you are looking for are TWO (2) things: 1) DOCSIS 3.0 or higher and 2) Dual-band concurrent 802.11ac Wireless Access Point (WAP) with a minimum of eight Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) compatible with 802.11b/g/n/ac or newer versions. Since the newest Wi-Fi Extenders are capable of accepting signals from older routers, the main thing is to make sure you see 802.11 as the WAP. So long as these two technical things are built into your router, it should work, regardless of brand. If you don't want to bother with a look-up of your current router's specs, then generally, if your router is less than 5 years old, you should have no problem connecting this Extender to your Ethernet-connected router. Nearly all of the modern routers conform to international uniform transmitting standards. Worse case scenario: if the Extender does not work, Best Buy gives you a couple of weeks to return the item for a full refund or exchange, so there really is no risk to try it out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
