Do you plug this into the (1) router, (2) the computer closest to the router, (3) your laptop at a distance?

I plug it into my computers usb. It connects to a router over 100 yards away at the house... great signal!

You can use the antenna on your router, most likely. The full USB+Antenna unit is for a computer though, and has fantastic range.

Into any pc or laptop that you want its really great signal strength from 30 or yards from my reciever and I get full strength signal

into your computer (includes laptop). It allows you to connect to your wireless router.

A wired connection to the router is not necessary for setup. However, during setup, you will want the extender, the router, and the computer used for setup to be in fairly close proximity of one another.

I don't know. I haven't tried. It is in our new gymnasium and we may not have much need to try that. It won't be used a lot there. I have shut it off for now because when I turn my laptop computer on in the church it grabs the signal from the extender and it is slower because of the distance. I can always tell my computer to grab the signal from the router in the church.

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router.Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm

Uses external power cord with transformer. Power supply will be a function of that power cord, not of the router.

Either use WI FI or the router has 4 Ethernet ports. you can connect your laptop to the remaining ones on your router.

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.

The unit itself is wired directly to the router. Only your PC has a wireless connection to it.

There is over a foot distance. I have my router and moden there and there is plenty of space left over.

Yes that would work. Make sure the power outlets are on the same circuit as the router plug. Also renew the ip address on each laptop.

No, you do not need to physically connect to the router. It must be placed within the wireless router's range, and then extends it further.

Yes. All units are the same. Use one to connect to the router/modem, and the other 3 to connect your computers.

You need Ethernet cables to connect to the router and another to the computer

Thanks. I'll try. Both my laptop and my computer have active little lights that seem to indicate they are sending or receiving signals. I gather that means a router would be sufficient if I understand K. Slon.

You would have to be within range of router. there is an initial setup that is easy but requires you to plug it into the router.

I don't think you are following the directions correctly. Just plug it into a wireless computer on your network (laptop) and it will automatically get the network info from the computer. Those are the directions on the quick start guide. 3 minutes and you are done.
