How to create a whole house hotspot

I was looking for a way to get my hotspot to cover the whole house. I connected it to a Luma router to distribute the signal from the ZTE Warp throughout the house. I set up IOGEAR manually because my first attempt to use the WPS button didn't work. In any case, I prefer to set everything up manually. The instructions were clear and simple. I found the spot in my house with the strongest signal and placed the hotspot, luma, and IOGEAR in that location. I even connected the IOGEAR USB cable toโ€ฆ

Beware of hidden MacBook problems! And then there is no support

I bought the product to enable Wi-Fi on an Ethernet-enabled device. I have a MacBook. Problem 1: We don't have an Ethernet port on a MacBook. We need an adaptor. Problem 2: As far as I can tell, setup requires a wired connection to the router. (See Technical Support Complaints below.) I can't establish a hard connection to my router. I suspect I need a different adapter if possible since the included ethernet cable doesn't have a USB connector and all connections on my router require USB. Thisโ€ฆ

  • Network adapter

bad experiences with network products

Installation instructions were terrible. I would be surprised if a normal person could install it. For something that was supposed to be plug and play I gave up after about an hour. I then called their tech support and to their credit they had a live person who seemed knowledgeable enough to try and help. He went through about 50 screens, changed the settings on my computer and explained that the product worked. I went to another room, connected the device to the product I needed, returned toโ€ฆ

Works great for my remote printer! :)

You can configure it in two ways, the configuration depends on how your router is configured. If your router is running with the default settings, you should be able to simply press the WPS button on the router, then press and hold the WPS button on the iOGear Ethernet 2 Wifi and it should connect automatically. I followed the user guide to set up the device manually as I have my own passwords and needed to program them into the iOGear device. The guide is easy to follow. HERE'S THE TRICK: Once

If your router has WPS, it's incredibly easy to get it working.

I was really hoping this would help boot the system up very quickly so I could plug it in later. It worked. My starting position was definitely suboptimal as there was a lot of heavy metal gear and line of sight for the signal, but it was still pretty good there. Bandwidth wasn't ideal there either, so I found a better spot upstairs where I had power and I just plugged it into the end of a 50-foot Ethernet cable. Coming out from behind the metal wall and big AC motors, throughput was great. Iโ€ฆ
