If i still need to add the wifi extender for this router, does the 300N type extender still work with 450N ? thanks!

I don't know about which expanders you could use, but I get 200 feet before I lose my connection, and that's with my router going through 2 layers of 12" block wall. If I move it out of my basement, into my upstairs office, I get 400 feet before I lose signal. I'd be shocked if this router won't do what you want.

I believe yes as per the reference given here for N300 HWREN1:Hawking HWREN1 Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Range Extender

I set two of these up as repeaters to extend the WiFi signal in our home. I used a Macbook Pro to configure them and then later, to access the network through them. I had no problems.

Yes the device can work as an extender. I can't verify how good it works but I have tested that ability. I got a few hundred feed from the repeating device and it was working/allowing network access.

Not 100% sure if you will be able to extend that far but what I can tell you is when extending the wifi signal you lose performance and internet speed the farther the extender is from the router and the farther your products that you will be using are from the extender hope this helps

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set. You may not even need an extender.

My extender is linked with Netgear router. I do have a linksys router in another location that I use with a linksys extender and that is very good as well. I made the choice to match router and extender to the same brand and I am pleased with the results.

It uses the same network name. If you are closer to your main router and the signal is stronger there it will use the main router. If you wonder off across the country and the extender has a better signal to your router then it will switch to it. I have my extender out in my workshop 100' from my main router and I can carry my laptop from my house out to the workshop without loosing the signal. You use the same security code as you use for the main router. i have a Bi-quad antenna connected to one antenna pointed at my house and the antenna that came with it on the other. I get excellent signal strength and the same upload and download speeds as being connected to the main router.

No it is just a WiFi bridge and 1GB Ethernet switch, not a wifi extender. Pretty reliable though.

It works fine with other routers. I have it connected to my D-Link DGL-4300 with no issues.

It depends on your wifi router speed, not your internet speed. I use a Belkin AC1800 dual band wifi router with the 802.11ac network standard, that is the faster than 802.11n. But you must remember that this Belkin N150 Micro Wireless Usb Adapter is an 802.11n. I can't tell you that it will work in full speed at distance of 5 feet, but if you insert the usb adapter in the closest side from your router (e.g.: I use mine in the usb port in the right side of my laptop and my router is located in a room right next to my laptop) but it will work better, I've tried it, and when I install it on the left side of my laptop the speed falls to half. If you use an USB 3.0 port on your laptop, it will work faster too. But I believe that the new laptop with USB 3.0 they already have an wifi adapter inside it with an 802.11 a/b/g/n or even a/b/g/n/ac. I believe that this will help you. Best regards, Dalton Miyabara

I received the same information from Linksys, namely, that they didn't know if the WRE54G will work with the WRT160N. However, in chatting with the technician I mentioned I'm only using "G" and had disabled the "N" channel on setup of the WRT460N. He said this might work so I've ordered one. Check back with me in about 10 days and I'll let you know how I made out. Email: wwgorman@msn.com

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

I was asking myself the same question as I am also an AT&T Uverse user considering the purchase of this extender. On reading through the reviews posted on Amazon, I found the following.............. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Netgear Universal WN3000RP Wi-Fi Range Extender (Personal Computers) Finally!! An extender that just plugs in and works perfectly! If you have a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, get this extender, because it will work, and work great. I first bought the Hawking HWREN1 extender, and after spending hours trying to get it to work, it would repeatedly disconnect. After calling customer service, I was told that it won't work with 2Wire products. So frustrating! Next, I bought the Engenius ERB9250 extender, and that wouldn't work either. Their customer service was atrocious. I couldn't connect to anyone for technical support; despite calling back repeatedly, all I got was a voicemail message. I would never buy another product from them. All I did with this extender is plug it in, push the WPS button on my router and on the extender, and it connects. Then, you just connect to the new address, which is your SSID + EXT. And that's it. I'm very happy with the product.

It worked with my FIOS router. But it doesn't really help to extend the range,I ended up buying TL-WA850RE and it worked better.

No it does not. I found this to be a bit misleading but I assumed the wireless N extender would be dual frequency (as my D-Link wireless N router is). I was disappointed this was not the case. This extender will only extend the 2.4 GHz signal.

Tim , I reread your question , apologies . if your extending your wifi , this is not the item . This bridge can extend your wired lan , but its a bridge and upstream are wired connections , downstream is your router on wifi .

Hi Wendy, What you are looking for is actually the NetGear N450 *Cable Modem*, which is different than this product. The product is available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-Wi-Fi-Cable-Router-N450-100NAS/dp/B00HC0ZDOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390691485&sr=8-1&keywords=Netgear+N450+CG3000Dv2. This product is just a router, and does not have the necessary ports to connect to your cable internet service. The N450 in both product names refers to the max wifi connection speed (450 Mbps).
