Described as a "range extender for mobile" - Why? Any reason why it wouldn't serve well for desktop and laptop computers?

It would work for a desktop if the desktop is Wireless capable. i.e., if it has WiFi. Usually, mobile devices like tablets and cell phones come with WiFi and thus the notion. But, to your question... If your PC has WiFi, this will work!!!

It does. It forms a subnetwork which any device can log onto. It keeps your original password

Doubt it... range on this is VERY limited. If your PC is right above the radio and there is no metal in the way (and no interference), it might work, but it's a long shot... (this thing is not designed with long range in mind)

It's surprisingly long ranged if there's few metallic obstacles in the signal's path. I bought this only for the usb module itself. If you want "super" long range you'll need to buy a better antenna for it. I doubt it works with TVs as it requires specific drivers to use on a PC. One of my Windows machines installed it without the disk but my Win 7 and Linux machines needed the drivers included with the package.

I don't know why it shouldn't work, I use it for my tablet as well as my desktop and laptop, which all have different OS

"it is clearly not really meant to be portable but you could use it this way. To be clear though you will not get any better connection than you get wherever you set up the extender... So if you have a good connection by the desk but want to browse from the bed I guess this could be helpful. "

I am pretty sure they make this model for desktops as well. It is basically a plug and play for laptops, but I don't know if connections are the same. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes, it will work with a laptop or desktop.The range is usually 5ft max. After that point the mouse can get glitchy.

I haven't used it with the desktop just my laptop, however the range that i have tested at so far is about 7 feet.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

your range, of course, is as far as your circuitry goes in the dwelling. I image you're trying to extend your range outside of the dwelling. I do not, however, have any knowledge of an extender working but I do know that another hub will work when hung off of one of them. That being the case, my impression would be that thestextender would work. I'm interested if it will. Let me know...

It works with your router not your PC. The device download has the code to let it be recognized. Its a range extender and not a very good one. If you check it out you'll find a lot of unhappy customers. The device is expensive and not a long lived device. I still have mine ---its in a desk drawer ! !

My best guess is that whenever you're using an extended cable like this one you're going to need a fairly significant amount of power. If you don't have your laptop plugged in it probably won't work. It's also possible that even if you do plug in your laptop, there may not be sufficient power from you laptop to generate the needed signal strength.

Yea, I used it on my GF's laptop. Few people complained that if you dont have a speedy pc it maybe choppy. My GF has a dual core laptop, works fine with included antenna if your not in a basement.

I have used it on 2 desktops so far. I am planning on buying a second unit to connect another PC to my home network. I am considering another one for my laptop as well, as the web is PAINFULLY slow on the built in wi-fi. Strong signal and easy set up.

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

That rangemax by netgear is good for macs or windows based applications ....works with all wifi devises, bluerays, smart tvs, tablets, iPods and laptops....works with cable modems or DSL modems ...very wide range for big houses
