Which wireless cards will work with the Extender?

The Extender will connect with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g or 802.11b wireless standards.

Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?

The physical environment around the Extender can have a varying effect on wireless signal strength and quality. The more dense an object, the greater the interference. Concrete or metal reinforced structures will cause a higher degree of signal loss than those made of wood, plaster, or glass.

I have an Apple computer that uses the Airport wireless device. Is this device compatible with the Extender?

Yes, the Apple Airport system complies with the 802.11b and 802.11g standards. If you use the WEP security feature, refer to the Apple Airport documentation for information on the proper method to enter the WEP key for compatibility with the Extender hexadecimal WEP entry.
