I have a detached garage and the Netgear Wifi Extender works but Apple TV wont stream. Will this work from the house to the detached garage?

It depends on distance....I don't know where 30 ft. came from mine is working great at much farther then that. But the outlet you use in the Garage has to be on the same fuse box as your router. The speed decreases as your distance increases. I am getting about 55Mbps at almost 90 ft. on my sons Xbox.

That's a tough question, if the detached garage and house were built the same time and on the same fuse box (electrical) they should work. Its your best chance of having Internet in the garage on the cheap, the next best thing is to have someone drop a cat5e cable to garage. I say try it, if it doesn't work, you can always return it.

It depends on distance between house and garage. It needs a signal to work.

I connected this to my TIVO which is connected to my Samsung TV which works great connecting to router. Not sure about connecting to Apple TV but suggest you ask this question on TIVO chat.

This extender is a way to transmit a video signal via ethernet cables. So if the source, cable box, satellite box, blu ray etc...., has a HDMI connection it should work. You would connect from the source and go out to another tv somewhere. I hope that makes sense.

The only way you will be able to utilize the AV500 is in a hardwired manner. It does not rebroadcast WiFi signals. You would need a repeater for that purpose, providing the smart TV has Internal WiFi, which some do. Most have an Ethernet plug to attach your signal. The AV500 extends wired signals through your AC lines in the house. Kind of like stringing a really long CAT5/6 Ethernet cable through your house between your router to your TV. If you want to extend the range of your WiFi, use a TP-Link TL-WA854RE Range Extender (repeater) or one of it's brethren. There are several models depending on the data rate (speed) you desire. Funny, I just got one in the mail today. No kidding. So, no. It will not extend your WiFi. If I may make a suggestion, take a look at NewEggFlash today at a product called an Edimax CV-7438nDM Wireless Bridge Adaptor. It's an inexpensive little toy that you might find useful in the near future. Get one quick; it's only $20 w/free shipping. I ordered one today too. Recommendation: Plug your AV500's directly into the outlets and away from other things. They are allergic to power strips and they tend to get pretty warm from dealing with the AC electricity, ok. If for some reason they don't work, try a different outlet. They prefer being on the same wired circuit. I hope I helped.

You need a router which generates 5Ghz. The extender just extends the signal the router generates.

The short answer is yes. The long answer, you will need to have a working knowledge of ip addresses, access points, and your router in order to get it working. The instructions that come with it are suitable for someone with some network knowledge. It will not be plug and play. And since you are using apple products that might be a challenge.... Ha ha.

I have a Samsung smart tv and a Netgear router, which is in another room. I had a problem with Netflix dropping off line, so I bought this extender and placed it near the tv. It works perfectly. You do have to occasionally reboot the extender -- just unplug and replug it in.

Based on the way you phrased your question, it seems that your TV is WiFi capable without an adapter. In that case you do not need the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter and all you would need to do is to configure your TV to communicate with your router. If, however, your TV does not have built-in wireless capability, but has an Ethernet port, the IOGEAR Ethernet adapter will work. Both the adapter and the TV will need to be properly configured.

Included, use in a "W" position, call Amped, ask for a senior Tech and he will configure frequency, range and best settings, -usually from your ipad!!! Keep the extender as close to your router for a signal of 70% or better. Mine is 87% and streams HD beautifully to PS3!-Ed Held, sho buz

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have owned 2 macs and they both worked fine with my netgear router. It'll detect your network just like any other wifi device should.

If you have DSL, this won't work. If you have cable ie. Fios this will work. You will need a router in addition to the NetGear Genie which is a software application.

I have a garage about 30 feet detached from the house. This router would not reach with a usable signal very well.

I have an apple router extended wirelessly from my main apple router with no lan cable. Then I connected the eyez on device with a LAN cable. Everything connected and has worked without a problem for almost a year now.

If the Mac has a WiDi capability built in then it may. I would look for an Apple product to meet your needs. I would not use this Netgear product.

I had same problem with Netgear routers. Apple and Android get dropped disconnected frequently and after experience found that the Channels should be set to auto. If you change channel it may or may not work, so you have to really see if Auto or changing channels work for you. After I set my channel to auto I am enjoying my router.

Depends on your distance from your Apple router and Roku box. I have found that a distance of more than 30 ft gives lower quality experience with Roku. This is due to Roku having small size and small wi-fi antenna or lower quality wi-fi chip. The fix is to use a Cisco-Linksys WET610N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming and Video Adapter to use the ethernet port of roku device instead of its internal wi-fi. If you are not comfortable with bridge, then go with powerline kit like this one Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)
