I am thinking of using this netgear device to solve the following problem.my existing router DG834G does not broadcast a strong signal, so I have 1 office which cannot recieve the signal. The same office has a connected ethernet wall port which goes to a hub which is connected to the router.Can I hard wire the WN3000rp within the office, to recieve and broadcast a broadband signal ?sensible answers much appreciated.

any access point at remote end's ethernet port will work.

Any suggestions on which product ?Solution for taking a hard wired ethernet connection from wallport (within the office which cant get the main router signal) and making it wireless.WNDAP350 possible ???

tell the truth, ANY AP will work. You need to look the 802.11B, G, N needssome N AP unit may not work with legacy wireless G so you may need to experiment

I just bought the Netgear WN3000RP, it says i'm connected but my internet browser (Chrome) says I have some DNS error. I'm currently using AT&T Uverse... please help

I'm currently using AT&T Uverse... please helpOpen Dos Command Prompt window and type ipconfig You should get own and gateway IP info. If it is something like 192.168..... or 10......... then all is OK Then type ping 4.2.2.2 You should get 4 replies. That means your wireless is OK and Internet access is OK. Try rebooting your PC/laptop.

Sadly, this made no difference. I will keep disabling the router, then the WCL on the extender, then both. So far no change ....

Actually, disabling the Access Control on the Router but leaving it on with the Extender got me access. But what kind of a solution is that? It means I no longer have access control (by MAC address) on the router, thereby losing maximum security.

ACL (Access Control List) is not very secure. Use the WPA/WPA2 security option on router and repeater. That's secure enough.

...and as for WPS ...that's a cruel joke. Whether kind use 'recommended ' OR PIN one of the Netgear devices can't last 4 minutes so it always ends in FAILURE. Sad!

It should work without cutting connection . WPS suppose to keep the wireless more secure than traditional single passphrase. Although WPA/WPA2-AES should kee wireless secure over other type

Disable first access control and see what happens.

@Jack: Many thanks for your advice here. You know, I actually had done this but was using my Google Nexus One for testing. Everything but the Nexus One worked the second time after your advice. :)
