Do I need the Verizon Network Extender SCS_2U01 for this to work in my apartment?

No. The GPS antenna that came with the Verizon Network Extender worked as well as this GPS antenna when I tested them. I also purchased an extender cable so I could have a long enough cable to reach a window for the GPS antenna to work.

I am using the Verizon Network Extender and the external antenna works awesome! I would like it would work with other network extenders.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

This product is not a wifi-extender. It is a powerline adapter system which uses the existing 110VAC, 60 Hz wiring to send the internet signals from one electrical outlet to another within the house. Depending on the distance, if the apartment across the driveway is fed from the house's electrical panel then this might work for you. If not then maybe you can run a Cat 5e cable from the house to the apartment to have the ethernet signal hardwired in. From my experience the performance of Wifi extenders were spotty at best and is one reason I went with with this Powerline system instead. I hope you find this helpful.

This unit is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network regardless of where you are as long as there is a good enough signal for the unit to connect. Keep in mind though that some public networks do not allow extender connections or some may have a splash page where login information like a username and password may be required to connect and the extender does not have that option so it will not work.

I needed an extender since the phone reception did not reach the barn and garden area in my yard. As W. Tobias stated, if you are not experiencing a problem when making phone calls with the base unit, you do not need an extender.

I used it behind ISP's DSL modem, so I'm not sure, your best bet is check the approved model list against your current DSL subscription, ISP like you pay them monthly 'rental' fee, use your own equipment, they can point finger to your responsibility when there's connection problem

Yes you still need an Internet service provider. This unit just helps you get a greater distance from a WiFi source.

Yes that is right, you can just plugin in to an outlet but the extender needs to within range of the router to extend the signal ever further. You will need to install the cd to a wireless computer to activate the extender.

I did some checking with an engineer colleague who has Verizon FIOS service. Both of us work for Cisco in digital video technology. Cisco is a Verizon vendor and provide many of the equipment Verizon uses. To the best of your knowledge, is your existing setup something like the following: ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;TVs/STBs ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;VERIZON MODEM If so, then yes. I believe it is possible that you can replace the VERIZON modem with the ACTIONTEC. The FIOS modem is not actually a modem at all but instead a MoCA adapter. Being that, you should be able to replace the FIOS adapter/modem with the ACTIONTEC Home Theater Coax Network Adapter. Not only but if you have multiple coax jacks in your house, you can install an ACTIONTEC adapter at each. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) on the side of your house takes the optical data stream VERIZON sends from its' plants/VHOs then converts and modulates the TV services data stream portion to cable TV frequencies so it can be distributed throughout you house over the existing coaxial cable in your wall. For internet service, it does the same thing but utilizes the MoCA frequencies of the spectrum for internet. Given that MoCA is a cable TV standard, any MoCA device should be able to work. I installed two of these device in my second home because wifi reception and service was poor. I have a D-Link DIR898L wireless router. However because walls are of reinforced masonry construction, much of the wifi signal from the wireless router is mostly blocked.

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

unit should be located midway between router and your device. N150 will have its own SSID. Router SSIS_ EXT

No, you don't need the Network Module that you mentioned. I bought the Network Adaptor Starter Kit first, then added two more so that I have one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They work great!

I don't think so.. My experience with Verizon has been that they will sell you the $300.00 Network Extender, but you will need two bars or more outside your house, in order to get 4 or 5 Bars strength boost inside your house.. and if the Extender Breaks down after one year warranty, no return, you will need to Buy a new Un-used Network Extender..

The extender needs a 5Ghz signal to extend. If you only have a 2.4ghz then you will be able to skip extending a 5Gz signal.

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. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

Hi. This will extend your wifi from downstairs to the 2nd floor so that you have "full bars" again. My router is in the basement and my extender is on the main floor and my laptop works great on the upper floor. Hope that helps!
