“will this work for my situation? Our router is downstairs on the other end of a 2000 sq ft house. My All-in-One computer is upstairs in bedroom at opposite end of house. Mediacom is our provider. Will the Netgear Range Extender work for me at the same speed as the wired computer downstairs? And where shall the range extender be placed? Upstairs or downstairs? Closer to router or All-in-one? Thanks, Joanne”

The Netgear Extender will work perfect for you as well. I have a 2 story house (2200 SF), my cable modem and wireless router are all located in one room downstairs, and my second workstation office is upstairs on the opposite side of the house. I placed the extender in the same room as my second office. Works great and my PC receives 5 bars; it is as fast if not faster.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Joanne. We had the same situation and it worked great. We placed it about halfway between the farthest Point and the wireless router
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I live in a 3k sq ft house, we left the extender down stairs, it provides you a signal notifier from the Router to the Extender. When leaving it downstairs, or across the house, when we connected the ipads to the extender, we walked around to see where the best placement would be, the light turns amber when it looses connection, and turns green when it establishes a solid connection again. Answer to Questions it will not provide the same speeds as directly connecting, but this device will provide relatively good speeds, I do not recommend directly connecting it to your wireless router, because your wireless router already sends a signal out, so you would be defeating the purpose of extending the signal from the NETGEAR extender. From what i can tell by your question, this device will work perfectly for you. it provides decent instructions on what you should do also.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is an excellent question. I live in a Condo made of cement, and I find that the extender's signal is somewhat poor. I wonder if the signal would be better in a wooden home or one with insulated walls. Try checking that online first. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Up or down, bet mid way between the CPU and router. The less walls or Flores the better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it will
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have a situation similar to mine, but my router is centrally located and i am trying to boos one end upstairs. I would not reccomend this booster
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will work. If you get w high end one and your current router supports dual band it should be close to those speeds. The range extender should be in a spot with about 1 to 2 bars of service. Roughly where it starts to drop and it will take that wifi and repeat it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.RJ-45 hook up also work to get how to set up guide. Maybe it will work from main router as the bridge-mode and as your main router from modem through RJ-45 cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
