I am trying too boost my ClearWire so I can connect - it's in my area but so far I can't pick it up.

On the back of your Clear hub do you have a small switch near where you plug in the antenna? If you do switch it to Enable when using an external antenna.. Disable when using the Clear Hubs built in antenna. Otherwise you might have to buy a specific Antenna from Clear to work.

The Antenna covers 800-2500mhz so it should cover ClearWire which operates in 802.16 e and d. It has a narrow beam of 45 degrees with 8 dbi gain at the 800 frequency. If you know where the cell towers are located, try to point it in that direction. If not, slowly point it in one direction, wait maybe 30 seconds and move in slowly 15-20 degrees, pausing through out a 360 direction. If that does not work, contact the manufacturer as they will gladly provide additional assistance.

Have you called Wilson Electronics tech support? I've found them to be very helpful.

clearwire is 2.5 ghz which this antenna covers, however, you will need very high quality coax or very short coax runs to get the signal from the antenna to your reciever. LMR400 or equivalent and N type connectors are needed and this coax is about as thick as your index finger. Line loss with inferior coax is horrendous at these frequencies.

I have it with centurylink, actually had it. I scrapped it and purchased a netgear. It was useless for me.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

Hi B Brown,I have tried holding it for a minute also and no luck. Now every time I plug the repeater into my mains outlet it completely disables any wifi communication I had in the house. I tried to return it to seller but guess I missed the deadline by about 5 hours and he won't take it back. It is a brick on the floor right now. I intend to contact Diamond multimedia but haven't yet. Not Happy in MN,MJ

Most likely due to a weak signal. Try a station close by and see if it's still a problem.

Try reversing the wire. That may help. The issue is that the third lead isn't precisely where it should be so some devices have a hard time connecting to it.

In Colorado, US I found the Tecsun PL880 useless. I could not pick up any stations on SW or LW, even with the supplied longwire antenna. Maybe it is because I live near some mountains in CO, but I was not happy with it at all and returned it after several days of effort to receive any shortwave station.

I had a similar problem with poor signal strength in the front part of my house. The ZyXel 300 looked like a good solution. My son, an IT guy installed and configured it. It worked great for a few days. It still works, but has to be rebooted frequently, and has had to be reconfigured several times. I can't say that I would recommend it.

We are having the same issue- haven't found a solution yet either...We tried a signal booster too.

Berry:I tried both wireless and hardwired (Ethernet cable). With hardwire, it works well. Wireless: not reliable. I had to have another one sent since the voice dropped off so bad and the wireless signal reception was poor even in front of the wireless router! The second one was slightly better, but the voice quality was very poor or could not connect. I discussed it with OOMA, but I would have to return to Amazon to get the refund. By that time I could not return it. So, I am stuck with it. It really amazes me that they sell such a poor quality product.In summary: it is bad idea to use this wireless.

Really can't answer your question - we never got it to boost signal at all. Returned it.

What the others are saying. I was unable to find a software update online, so I had to run a wired connection to the TV set to update. I too am having WiFi issues, and the software update did not help. I've tried two access points without success. I'm going to try a third AP sometime today. Regardless of the outcome, I have a Sharp Tech scheduled to come out on Wednesday.

I did not gnd it as my antenna was mounted in my attic. U can try to gnd to anything metal pipe which is going down to the ground

Thanks... we might just use something like powerline networking. Thanks for the example!

I have never tried to do that. Just guessing, but i dont think, I could be wrong, it might not pick up the power line due to the size of the wire. I might have to try that.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!
