Questions & Answers

Bob N : Unspecified doesn't help. I want to extend my wifi signal from the router in my home to a cabin that is 200 feet away. Tnhe router is a Netgear Model B90-766025-16 with three open network ports, installed inside a wooden cabinet. Construction of the walls in the house and cabin are typical wooden stud walls with wooden siding and fiberglass insulation. Will the BearExtender Turbo High Speed 802.11ac USB Wi-Fi Adapter extend my wifi from my home to my cabin?ANDREW R : I'm not sure I quite understand your question. This unit is a WiFi adapter specifically designed for Mac OS X powered computers. It's essentially a plug-in upgrade to provide faster WiFi for older machines. This unit is NOT a WiFi extender, and will not extend the range of an existing network.
Bob N : What is the effective range of the BearExtender Turbo High Speed 802.11ac USB Wi-Fi Adapter for Mac OS X?ANDREW R : Range is not specified and will vary depending the local environment (building construction, router location, make/model capabilities of the WiFi router).
