Home User
The number of consumer electronic products which uses WiFi connectivity continues to grow, creating a natural demand for wider WiFi coverage around the home from devices which include games consoles, TV's, Printers, smartphones and many more devices. Domestic WiFi routers tend to be sited next to the landline master socket, typically in the hallway or at the one side of the house which is not always the most effective location for distributing signal throughout the building. The Huawei WS320 can be sited at any point in the home to provide a strong signal and minimise black spots.

Insignificant price difference between two vendors suggests this is the normal price rather than a hot price.

yes there is. i have currently set up in my house a wi-fi extender which is connected to my router. it comes up as a an additional wifi hotspot in addition to the wifi i have on my router. i've also setup 2 different passwords for each of the wifi hotspots, cause my router is in my room and the wifi extender is in my living room, where guests can connect to it. but i'm not sure about the allowing access bit tho.
anyone else feel free to correct me if i'm wrong

If you set up blocked websites it will affect both wifi hotspots. You could buy another cheap router(cable router) and attach it by ethernet to the main router. That would allow you to set up another hotspot and having blocked websites on that hotspot and not on the main hotspot. I know that this router will allow you to set up blocked websites- TPlink. This website link has a guide but some of the steps are slightly different

Last time I looked WDS only supported WEP so I wouldn't ever recommend it.

There ain't nothing new under the sun.
It may, it may not. If there is another route you can bounce / repeat the signal around the house it will, if its because the signal won't get through the wall it won't help as it won't make the signal any stronger. The only way you will find out if it works is to buy one or two, play with them and see what impact it has.
The problem with a lot of wireless repeaters is that they only handle WEP which really isn't secure enough.
I use homeplug in my house to put Ethernet sockets on every floor, and two wireless APs sufficiently cover the entire three-storey house to get full signal strength wherever I am for my wireless devices. I can run cables to all my fixed devices (no point in wireless if they don’t move) and save the wireless bandwidth for things I actually want to be portable.
