“Can this be used to relocate my Nighthawk as1750 router I would like to move my router from the basement to a more central location on the first floor of my house. Is this an option or would it still be better to run an ethernet cable?”

yes this would absolutely work for the application but you will reduce your Nighthawk's transmission rate form 1750 to 1200 Mbps (total- so both channels will be reduced (in scale?)) bottle necking your set up. Nighthawk range extender would be your answer if you're hardcore.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.ALWAYS run ethernet when you can
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This item is designed to plug an Ethernet cable from the router to it, then you plug the 1200 into an electrical outlet. At the other end where you want a connection, you plug the second unit in the wall outlet and run an Ethernet wire to your supported devise. You can run up to 16 plugs total
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think the ethernet cable will be a better solution if you can make holes in your house. I bought this set because I rent the house and cannot make holes in the walls. If you go for cable, think about the quality/speed it can support (category) so that you don't have speed loss.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, as long as you are sending it from a single port modem, and you will have a reduced throughput. Unless your moving it within the same power segment. You will still be limited by the technology. I have seen tests with this unit around 250 Mbps to 300 Mbps maximum. Although this is the better one to get. Most of the others are significantly slower.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This will be all you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say yes! Has to be on the same electrical service box, but it should work!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have the ability to run a wire then do so. If you do not, then feel free to give this a shot. The distance and age/quality of the electrical wiring from one end to the next really impacts performance. So, even if the two plugs are right on top of each other between floors has to make long runs through the house to a panel be for going to the next point then expect to seen your speed drop. I would not use for permanent unless I had no ability to add a wire AND wireless n/a/c was NOT an option for me. Maybe just use a 1st floor coax connection for your modem (?)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. This is exactly what I had to do with mine. My gateway was on the opposite end of my home and my connection was too weak to be of any use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a point to point connection for one device. If you are plugging multiple devices into the router, running Ethernet when practical is better.
