Can this device act as a repeater to extend handheld radios range?

Yes, it can. The 8800 supports cross band repeating, so it can extend the range of any smaller output radio.
1355897
Yes, it can. Our amateur radio club uses somebody's FT-8800 in this mode often for Field Day and other scattered projects. I've used the 1/2-wave antenna on my car; I've used a 35-foot mast-mounted antenna. It will do pretty much everything legal to an amateur radio operator who's licensed to use 2m and 70 cm. (That's is pretty much every amateur radio licensee these days.)

Cross band repeating... means the radio is listening on UHF retransmitting on VHF and vice versa. So if you want to work into a 2m repeater you'll need your HTs on UHF to the 8800 and it'll do VHF to and from the repeater.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

I would suggest a similar setup like the one I have.It's doing what you want.There is an option for the repeater to either use the incoming signal for WiFi or Ethernet.In my situation I went with Ethernet but you can set WiFi.See my review. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH7JFVDQHJWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00HQ883QW

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

You can have multiple extenders that repeat the main router signal to different areas -- extending range in multiple directions -- but you cannot set up a DAP-1320 to become a wireless range repeater to another DAP-1320 (daisy-chained).

Can't say for sure, but would say that if it used an infrared remote, very likely that it would. Works with all of my components. I like it a lot, especially for the price. There is one type of infrared signal (called dual-band, if I remember right) used by some components that won't work with the emitters that come with this repeater. But you can buy a dual-band emitter for a few dollars for this unit and just plug it in. Be careful with the emitters, though. If you aren't, It's easy to pull the wire out of an emitter. It's toast then, and you have to buy another one. Not expensive though.

I'm not sure it would help you much. Range extenders must get a good signal from a wireless router to work properly. If they receive a good signal from the router they rebroadcast it and thereby extend the range.

No, you must be connected to a network. It can EXTEND an existing range. Hope this helps.

No this definitely wouldn't be powerful enough for that on its own.... You'd need to add a high gain antenna and a signal booster... However that's cheaper than a higher grade repeater

I don't think that is possible. The device transmits a wireless signal which almost by definition will be received by a wireless receiver tuned to receive in that frequency range.

1. I'm not sure. It isn't officially a repeater, and I don't recall that being a configuration option.2. The antenna serves both purposes, as with nearly all modern routers. That said, signal strength is very strong.

Yes, I believe almost any Z-Wave or Zigbee device that has AC power serves as a repeater

Yes, this will extend the range of the SCS-2U01, especially if pointed in an area of your house or yard where coverage from the SCS-2U01 is weak.

there are lots of factors involved. Try the medium quality repeater and boost the initial signal with a powered antenna. david

I am not sure..I have a windstream wireless router and connects to the engenius to extend my wireless. I live in a mobile home with an add on and the windstream does not go around the corner or through the metal siding. So, I needed to add the repeater.

With the rubber duck antenna thats with the radio is limited.however if you can pick up a repeater you can go several hundred miles

This is a small device with a short antenna. It wouldn't pick up a station 50 miles away. Like any radio it would need an elevated external antenna to receive distant stations and there is no provision for attaching such to this device.
