Question: Does it use same SSID (Network Name) created on main router? or it creates new wifi network name?
Document: Likely cause is the firmware that calculates that stuff isn't on point. What really matters is the signal quality. This has to be much higher than the SR300 since I am able to load everything just that much quicker.I found out that there is an advantage to having this create a new network SSID. It is that you can have a 2.4 GHz only main network but still run a 5.0 GHz on the repeater.
This is a very nice unit, unfortunately, I was unable to use it, for it would over ride the main router. I'm sure that Its an easy fix, but I just have not had the time to give it another shot.. However, I am satisfied with it.. I will add that this is about the forth item that I have ordered from Amazon,and time to deliver is impeccable. My packages have always shown up before the projected date. I love this..
I have had issues with range with my wireless. So i was told to get a range extender. It is best to get a set of router with range extender so there is not conflict. I was also using a cordless phone and they conflict with regular router. Since this router and range extender also work on 5 MHz frequency now i can use cordless phone and have a good WiFi in my house.
This means you have to have new network names and configure all your devices to connect to the new network along with the old network. This is very inconvenient for me because of all my smart devices, laptops, phones, etc, I also noticed that network speeds were no-where near the speeds I have of connecting directly to the router or even the ASUS EA-N66 extender.Pros:* Pretty darn close to advertised sq ft extension amount.
As stated on every review or on their site, the coverage is huge. I have maximum signal even at 15m (and 3 concrete walls).I have one AmpedWireless router - RTA15 that's one year old. In some corners of my flat I kept loosing access to my wifi - and by that I mean I still have 2 out of 3 bars on my iPhone but I can't access my network. I need to stand up, leave my comfy bed and signal will flow again into my phone.
I am not a tech person and I followed the direction's carefully and was done in 30 min. Works as expected, but put it in a place where you have good reception and it will then boost it further. (Use a wifi meter app from your smart phone...and it will help find the best location.)
So sad.Yeah, I'll just get another access point, wire it in somewhere where it'll cover my dead spots that I'm trying to fix in the first place, give it the same SSID but on a different channel (so devices will pick up whatever signal is stronger), or use a different SSID if I want that control, and really that's a MUCH better option and will avoid performance penalties, cheaper, more control over what channel it'll use, and overall just a more professional way to go.
Even though the extender was further away and a floor up from my test laptop, the signal strengths were almost the same (with a db) of the access point itself.Besides my laptop, I tried connecting to the extender with a few other 802.11g and 802.11n devices but honestly I had bad luck. A wifi camera outside didn't even see the extender's SSID, although it connects to my AP okay most of the time.
In my neighborhood there is no one who actually enables the 5.0 GHz network so it is the clearest channel I have ever been on. Since the repeater acts like a adapter for picking up signal I could imagine that you could disable the 2.4GHz network and just run on the 5.0GHz network while this still picks up your main 2.4GHz network. That would help out with giving better signal range by a fraction.
The version that I received was unreliable at best. The range was decent, but unless it is 100% uptime it isn't worth it. I don't like having to create another network from the existing wireless network, this isn't truly a range extender because you can't name it the same as your existing network, which I verified with their (decent, at best) customer service.
Answer: you access your main router using its SSID, then you set a SSID for the new router--you can use any ID you want, even the same as your original/main router.  It will name it with a RE extension.  Range Extender.  I've used the help line and they are extremely helpful.  I'd call the manufacturer: (888) 573-8820 they are very helpful.
