why does't extend my wifi

What kind of wireless router are you using? The extender works best if you place it in a location where you are getting a good wireless signal from your router.

The review I submitted was supposed to be for the Belkin 750db router but for some reason my review ended up on the Belkin range extender. Both devices look identical

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

Our extenders work with all standard Wi-Fi routers (IEEE and Wi-Fi certified). Unfortunately there are some rare cases where our extenders may not work with non-standard routers or routers with altered firmware such as those from 3rd party sources or proprietary firmware, such as those from certain ISPs.

As someone else said, you'll be presented with a list of all network names (ssid's) that the range extender can see; it will ask you to select which network it should extend. It does this one time only at setup and then repeats that one. See 'step 5' in this video: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5568372&CatId;=4026 .

As long as you can receive a signal strength &gt; 70% and there is no 'splash' page in order to use that service, then yes, our extender should extend a network coming from that provider.

I would look into getting a power over Ethernet setup, these wireless range extenders don't work very well

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

This is no longer true, you can extend your network as long as your wireless router supports wds, see this link http://lifehacker.com/400235/

Kind of an odd question, No. The idea behind an extender is that it sits in another room or area or a different floor, but can communicated with the router to "extend" the routers signal. Best of Luck!

Yes you need to start over and set it up from the top. The first one of these extenders went bad. Then the second one did just what you're describing, I also had to clear the extender named network from my network choices and reassign but all is well now.

No, you will need to add a wifi card to your computer. This will simply extend the range if your network connection. You need to get a network connection first. Check to make sure your wifi isn't turned off on your computer most computers built in the last five years org so have wifi capabilities. Your owners manual may help as well.

Frequently a metal object may block the wifi signal. Try elevating the router - you may have a kitchen appliance blocking the signal.

What it does is place your internet signal on the electrical lines in your place. The remote plug has an ethernet connection which you can connect directly to an ethernet port on a device. There is nothing preventing that "ethernet device" from being another Wi-Fi Access Point. Connect that ethernet cable from the remote plug to a Wireless Access Point's WAN (incoming) port and that should work as an extender. Granted you would have to buy and configure a 2nd Wireless Adapter... You might consider something like Hootoo HT-WR01.

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.

I have a Linksys E3000 and was unable to get this range extender to talk to it. Tried WPA2 and WPA security, nothing worked. I'm returning the Hawking to the store tomorrow.

Where do you have your WiFi extender hooked up to now? Your first question doesn't specify

Our extenders are stand alone network devices just like routers and are transparent to the operating system of the connecting client. All WIFI enabled devices should connect regardless of the operating system.
