Can I "extend" my home WiFi signal with this, to basement, with same SSID, by plugging it into an Ethernet jack in basement that gets a full 25Mbs?

This does not have the repeater function but you can plug it in as a Access point and configure it with the same ssid and password

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

Yes you can extend with this unit with the same SSID the setup in the UBNT unit is web based and very easy to follow if you wish to turn it in to a extender it will lock on your wireless and extend it the ssid and any security though it. I have not used the unit inside however only out doors in a point to point setup or extending to another outside building but as far as speed it will have no problems pushing 25mbs though the unit depending on signal strength

Yes you can. Depending on the power grid in your area, I would recommend putting this on a UPS or other -very- reliable power source. I had to perform factory resets frequently until I did so.

Please keep in mind that this has a directional antenna. It will extend well in a 60 degree vertical/horizontal arc in front of it.

Yes, it can function in either access point or client mode. You would just keep it in access point mode (factory default) and configure the SSID and key to be the same as your other device.

I believe you can. There are at least 4 ways it can work. Repeater mode in my opinion is easiest requiring no setup except a password. And hey, for 25$ you ought to try one out. I bought 2, one to extend range in house via wifi repeater. And one to act as a wireless modem in my shop via a cat5 wire. both set up very easily in repeater mode. The wizards work well.

In order to setup this device, you will have to be able to connect to the router's signal your are trying to extend. If you cannot see the signal of the router in the basement, then unfortunately you will be unable to properly setup the device.

yes, you can. i do not think there is a limitation for how many extension devises you can add to it. it is just like an ethernet line.

Can't help you with that one. I use it to simple send a stronger signal to a router in another building and it works good.

Yes, this can be used as an access point, and is designed to hook on to your main router's Wi-Fi connection to extend signal to dead zones in your home.

No I don't think it will. I had difficulty getting it to extend my Wifi. It's only as good as the signal it gets from the other router. I sent it back.

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

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

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

I doubt it I have added a Belkin range extender, mine is no more than 50ft from the end of house bedroom, admittedy the main router signal goes through some thick timber, but its in the middle of the house in the basement, and only sometimes gets a signal at the end of house bedroom upstairs.

I just plugged the network extender (alone) into my house's coaxial cable network and it automatically synced up with my FIOS router. It even duplicated the SSID and security. I didn't have to do anything. That was fantastic. Although I do have the option to change these settings if I want to create a different SSID.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

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!

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

You can purchase a wireless bridge that can extend your internet access. I would personally really recommend you run ethernet directly to the unit to ensure best performance. Lmk if I can help you further!

I have a couple sites where I used two units to get coverage for the entire floor. As long as you use the same SSID and password for the APs, you should have a hard time with going between the one with stronger signal.
