Can you use it as a wired repeater? Such as connect it to an existing router wireless then plug from it to a smart tv that isn't wireless?

Yes, it will. Once it's connected to the existing router (as a booster/extender), you can then connect an Ethernet cable from it to another device that you would like to have internet access.

No need. Smart TV most likely has wireless capability. It should connect wirelessly to your network via your extender.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

no it would not work wirelessly...it is Bluetooth only...the smart tv is WI-FI...there is a neat thing you can do though...because it is so low cost I bought 2 of them and connected them to my mp3 player with a cable that splits the signal into two separate channels...each speaker plays one of the channels with great stereo separation between the two!

yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network

*If* you have hardwired ethernet in the area with weak wireless, you can use this device to set up a separate wireless network in that area of your apartment. I think however, a standard wireless router would serve you better. This device will not work as a wireless repeater to extend an existing wireless network.

There is an ethernet port on the back that connects to the router. That should work. Personally, I already have a Roku box so I just needed it for Blu-ray. I am very pleased with the unit.

Here's what I found which says you can use your Netgear wireless adapter, but I haven't tried that. I found a wired connection to be more effective in my house.http://forums.tivo.com/pe/action/forums/displaypost?postID=10471357John

You can plug it in via alternate input sources, but it won't be wireless. If you don't use a source that streams Airplay, you will have to physically connect it with a cable.

Don't know about that. I plugged one into an outlet plug and then attached to the back of my smart TV. The other one I plug into an outlet and then plugged into my wireless router.

Yes you can, you can turn any wired modem or router into a wireless device. You also use it to extend your wireless reach (signal repeater).

No, it should connect via wireless connection. This particular repeater failed miserably. It never did what I expected it to do. I bought another from Belkin which worked well.

Not natively, you need an external device. I used a simple bridge from Belkin, works like a champ. Belkin Universal Wireless HDTV Adapter (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Yes you can!!! That was how I was using it before I recieved cable. Now I am using it wireless!!!

Yes, it would plug to the Ethernet cable socket on the back of the TV. I use my device in this way on a Samsung L:N40D630 TV that is not wireless enabled but has a Ethernet socket.
