- A: AnswerI'm not sure what you mean by "camera" -- there is no camera. Yes one of the devices will need to be plugged into your router via ethernet. But yes, this will allow you to also extend your internet into a room that isn't getting a strong signal. Please read below for more explanation. There are two devices in this kit. One which will get the internet signal from your router and send it into your home's electrical wiring, let's call this Device Zero. The other device (which has the antenna sticking out of it) is a receiver device, that can take that internet signal that's in the electrical wiring and convert it back into ethernet or wifi (both, actually), and we'll call this Device Alpha. So wherever your internet is coming in, let's say you have a cable modem, and then your router plugs into the modem to get internet and then send it out to your home over wifi. You can plug Device Zero into your router's available ethernet port. Your router will give Device Zero the internet signal, then Device Zero is plugged into the wall, so it ends this internet signal it's getting from the router into your electrical walls. Then you plug Device Alpha into a location where you have a free plug and don't get a good internet wifi signal. Device Alpha will broadcast a wifi signal in that room (it also has an ethernet port if you want to plug a device in directly). Let's say there's another location where you aren't getting a good signal, you just need to get one more device that's like Alpha, and plug that in. In fact you can plug in 10 more in addition to these two throughout the house to bring internet in other rooms/location. Here are some visual diagrams explaining it all: https://www.google.com/search?q=home+powerline+setup&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjm0ZyC46_OAhXK8YMKHeeAC0AQ_AUICigD&biw=1492&bih=1104

- A: AnswerMy house has 4 separate breaker boxes - 1 main and 2 additions to house and 1 for shop. I plugged the AC adapter to main breaker portion of house and am using the wifi adapter on a circuit that is on additional breaker box inside the house. It works excellent. I had not tried it out in my shop until I read the question. So, I took the wifi adapter out to my shop which isnt quiet 100' from house (more like 60') and tried it out. It worked flawlessly...

- A: AnswerBy default it has a different SSID than your router, if you use the WPS button setup it will clone your router. You also have the option to connect to the access point and set it up to be anything you would like including being the same as your router.

Q: Questionis it a dual band?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes it has both a 2.4Ghz and a 5GHz band. You cannot use it to setup guest networks though, if that matters.Answered by Usama
- A: AnswerThe default factory password for both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz ssid are printed in very small text on the back of the Wi-Fi extender, the unit with the antenna. The user name and password to get into the unit to see or change that password are admin and password. You can plug the extender directly into a computer or laptop using the ethernet port and go to http://mywifiext.net with a browser, then enter the user name: admin and password: password and then you can see the default Wi-Fi password or change the ssid and password.

- A: AnswerI set one of these up at my in-laws house and it sounds very similar. They have a carriage house about 75' away from the main house. This worked like a charm. They get great coverage and performance.

- A: AnswerYes they are compatible. If you mix plugs that run at different speed, they will all work at the speed of the slower plugs.

Wow !! Amazing
Wow!! I’m absolutely %100 happy and blown away with this purchase. Although it didn’t give me the 1000 mbs of my dreams, I’m beyond happy with what I got. I’ve always had WiFi troubles in my room, and given that I live in an old beach house, my options were thin, and I didn’t want to run a 150 ft Ethernet through my house. I would typically get 1-5 mbs and immediately, on the plug in, without the Ethernet, I’m getting a solid 80mbs+. It may not seem like much but it’s the best WiFi I’ve ever had. Setup took about 10 minutes, I had to move where it was plugged into a couple of times but I found the perfect outlet. Not only is the setup easy but it’s also super easy to go in and change the WiFi name / password. I would %100 recommend to anyone who has WiFi issues and cannot get wired connections. Definitely worth the $140

Gets the job done
Product was simple and easy to install. Have centurylink for home Internet (only provider that gets out in country area ) simply followed the instructions in the box and within 5-10 mins I had better coverage in my house. Definitely worth the investment. Have 2 iPads , 2 chrome books , ps4, Apple TV and 5 phones connected to it and provides strong signal throughout house.
