I'm looking to boost the reception of FM radio signals in our home. Will this do the trick? Thanks!

No, this is for Cable/QAM/Cable Modems, basically if it runs through Coaxile.

I don't think so. This is used to boost an already existing signal such as pushing a cable TV signal to your garage or a location other than the immediate area.

I would hesitate to say that it absolutely will do that. All devices like this are affected by distance, obstructions, radio receiver quality and electronic interference. Although if you have no radio stations close buy, interference would probably not be a problem. I would guess if you have already used a device like this with some success, this one would work too. I am pretty sure that they make better deices for more money, I bought this one because I knew that it would not have to transmit very far. If you buy one, remember to post a review about your experience good or bad.

It will tune in any over-the-air broadcast that your digital antenna will pick up. The key here is the digital antenna. I used one when I moved a year and a half ago, and it was fine because I had good reception in the area. Then I moved again a couple of months ago, and I couldn't pick up anything...zero...zilch...nada! Where I'm at now, I'm kind of down in a valley, and it's impossible to pick up a signal. Bottom line, it will tune anything that your antenna will pick up.

No it won't. You have to select a fm channel and every channel available to me music came through with heavy static. It is a waste of money

I hooked mine up in my motorhome so I have a small antenna I use to boost reception...I just use it to get the local channels (no cable/satellite) wherever we camp at, and so far it has performed well at each campsite provided there are available local channels...you just have to scan for open channels which takes a short while, then you're set....

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

This was designed for cable signals. For indoor antenna, I recommend trying a different antenna all together instead of a signal booster. A booster will not improve an over the air signal that is poor due to obstacles.

Perhaps. I'm about to try that myself. The biggest issue is to check to see where your digital signals are coming from. Visit here: https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html to find out more.

No. It will not improve the signal by itself. This device only "piggybacks" DC voltage on the coaxial cable to power a remote amplifier.

To answer your question I am not sure due to the fact that I purposely bought it for FM reception since I had no other way to receive that signal Sorry I could help you further. I have nevr really tried it.

It is not good for that. AM, FM, and Weather band frequencies only-- plus, the antenna can be expected to receive from only so far.[For proper reading of this post, please set you snark tuner to level 8]

Maybe. If you have a good (clear) but weak signal it will probably help. If you have a weak, dirty, signal it will just make it stronger although it did 'clean' up my signal a little. I think best results are gotten from putting it in the circuit as early as possible (antenna end not T.V. end).

To get effective gain, it needs to have a ground plane to mount on. That a large sheet of metal. If your in a moble home and it has a metal roof, that would work. If its FM and the stations are in the same direction, I look at some house FM Antenna. For AM see what the amature radio info, it might be a long wire strung and how to put an lighting arrestor.Hope that helps

A lot depends on your environment, including antenna height, terrain, atmospheric conditions etc. Also whether you are mobile or base. I can tell you it will improve your signal significantly. I use it on my base and talk 10-30 miles out with no problem.

By itself, no. It merely boosts signal range. You'll want to get a wifi card or USB wifi stick to plug into a USB port if you don't have built in wireless internet.

I don't see how it could do anything but improve your signal. Works great on the antenna I have put in my attic.

This is down in the VHF band, nothing on the analog channels around here, but the antenna does pick up FM radio some. This antenna is not designed for the lower freqs which usually require much longer elements. Might do ok with nearby stations? Note that all digital channels are now in the higher UHF band.
