“I have a workshop in my back yard. Will this nighthawk extend my signal 100’ outside the house? Does it need to be beside the router or can I put it in a window facing outside towards my workshop? Thank you”

It is based on overlapping signal ranges. If you have a solid wall or other obstructions between the wireless router and the extender, that will affect signal. You will set up next to the router then move the extender to a point where it can still receive the wireless router signal. It plugs into a wall outlet so there will have to be power available at the final location. Even though set up is usually within 5-10 feet of the wireless router, after set up you move it close to the area where you desire coverage. I do not know the range of the extender but went into my backyard just now and detected the signal fairly well at 60 feet from the extender in more or less straight line of sight with only a window pane between me and the extender. It had dropped one bar so it would not do 100 feet in my opinion.
