A:
Yes, it'll extend the signal of any wifi.7 years, 10 months ago
A:
Not unless you have access to the router that is providing the wifi. You would need to access the router every time you wanted to use the extender. If you're an owner/employee trying to extend the range, you probably could, but as a citizen, probably not.8 years ago
A:
The product requires the router to pair with the device and connect. I do not think this would work with public signals.8 years, 1 month ago
A:
No I do not think it would work because it requires to be paired to router using WPS push 'n' connect.8 years, 1 month ago

The Ethernet is both input and output (as are all Ethernet ports). It is 100Mbps full duplex (can tx and rx at the same time). It is intended to be client facing (e.g., connect your laptop, your desktop, etc. to it so that you can have a wired connection).by
