Hi all,
I have Airport Exterme acting as router in my house. I need to extend the network coverage, the signal strenght in some rooms is poor. I know that this can be done with another Airport device (e.g. Express), but Is it possible to extend the wireless network with non-Apple device (e.g. Huawei, Netgear, TP-LINK)?
Thank you
Airport Extreme-OTHER, Windows 7
Apple appears to use some proprietary settings in their "extend a wireless network" function, designed to work with other Apple routers.
So, while it is possible that a device from another manfacturer might work to "extend" the AirPort Extreme....it is also very unlikely.
Your best bet might be with a "universal" repeater or extender, but having tried a few of these devices myself....with no success....there are no guarantees.
It would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy if you want to try a non-Apple device to "extend" your AirPort Extreme network.
Can I extend my wireless network with non-Apple repeater
