how is this connected to a PC?

My PC is a little out of range from the router. I need to move the router a little closer to get better reception. Will this device help? And do I connect it to the PC or the router or to something else?

This should help

Does this device also increase the internet speed?

We have a Netgear router hooked into our PC, but have slow internet service through our provider. We now have a Smart TV upstairs away from the router, and wonder if we will need this device to increase signal and also help with speed? We also use IPads, phones and laptops. And would I place the extender upstairs near the TV?

I think that because it strengthens the signal that the speed is improved. I cannot be sure however.

extender

I visit my mother who does not have Internet and need to extend the signal from my brothers house next door which is maybe 100 yards to 150 yards is there an extender to do that and if so would I put it in his home or my mothers?

I have not tried to extend the signal with this product over that long of a distance.

Would connection through a floor be an issue?

My computer in my room typically has poor connection to the router, and occasionally, the connection drops. I was thinking about getting a WiFi booster for my room, which has a floor in between it and the router. First of all, would this solve the problem? Also, would the floor interfere with the connection to the booster?

I believe it will. My extender is on a different floor and in a separate building from the main router.

is this a different wifi network or does it just increase the signal strength?

Will you be able to hook up your devises to the current wifi network or will you have to select the wifi booster as the wifi network? Will this create another wifi network?

It increases the signal strength and it does have a different wifi name, but uses the same security as the main router

will this work for my situation?

Our router is downstairs on the other end of a 2000 sq ft house. My All-in-One computer is upstairs in bedroom at opposite end of house. Mediacom is our provider. Will the Netgear Range Extender work for me at the same speed as the wired computer downstairs? And where shall the range extender be placed? Upstairs or downstairs? Closer to router or All-in-one? Thanks, Joanne

I believe it will

How can I tell its compatible

How can I tell if it is compatible with my router, says it works with most 802.11b/g/n routers but I don't see any numbers like that on mine.

works with Apple and other routers
