No, this is a WLAN repeater. You need Wi-Fi access points. You set up a completely separate WLAN with a separate system. The products from Ubiquiti, e.g. AC-Pro, are highly recommended. Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC-PRO
In principle, this is possible, but each repeater can only amplify what it receives and each signal comes out of the repeater weaker than it went in! So it is clear that there must be a good, initial signal and the more repeaters, the weaker the signal. The same applies to speed ... if I have to sprint 100 metres and still have to pass through a door, I can't be as fast as I would be without ... a repeater is always the last possible option!
Yes, the same password. However, I added a suffix (-xyz) to the name to make it easier to distinguish.
I use a Swisscom router, but the description says: "The repeater is compatible with all WLAN gateways (...)" The repeater also supports all relevant standards.
This is unfortunately a pure repeater and cannot be used as an access point, so no.
I sent the device back again. All the mobile phones, receivers, Apple TVs and tablets only had problems because they didn't know which WLAN to use! I also tried using a LAN cable because my router is in USM metal furniture, so I get a stronger signal. Same problem and the signal was not stronger. Furthermore, the webcam and the Storm plug from Swisscom cannot connect to this repeater. There were also only problems. I have now bought a longer fibre optic cable and positioned the router differently. Now everything works perfectly again!
