I received the modem from FreedomPop 4a 4e but though working,I am all the time loosing Internet.Can buying Hub Burst Antenna Booster help?

To be perfectly honest it's not worth sinking more money into the freedom pop service. I stopped my service and will be returning my hub burst. I live in a high service area and the service was unreliable and actually in the long run more expensive per the amount of data you get compared to other stab alone internet service providers. Just not worth the money.

Return it while you can. It would only go down hill. It is really a piece of junk... I bought both this and mobile one... they ended up in the trash.

I have one that does not work either. My home is in East Wakefield NH where there are limited towers, but I thought the internet and satellite would work around that. It didn't. I even received a replacement unit to see if it made any difference, It didn't. The extender does work fine in FL, where I spend 7 of 12 months, so I guess it is worth it in the long run.

I had a difficult time myself. I ended up going to a signal king website and was finally able to get it to operate. I know that the disc that came with it was useless. I don't remember how exactly I got it going though. Now that I am home, I no longer need it as I have my own ISP. Sorry that I can't remember more, good luck.

Actually this thing didn't work for me too. Caught only 2g networks. I just dumped it.

I had a similar issue and contacted my ISP. The rep tested the signal strength and told me it was low because I had one of their older cable modems. He upgraded it at no charge and I haven't had any problems since. My cable company is notorious for always upgrading their hardware, but only new customers get it until you complain. Hope this helps.

You unscrew one of the antennas off the modem and single booster has an attachment where you screw in an attachment to your modem. Plug the amped wirless signal booster up and your good to go

I have Xfinity and have signal issues too, however, I took my comcast equipment back and picked up a Samsung Smart Media box that works as a smart hub and cable box, picked up a cable card to use in the samsung box. My picture improved remarkably. I am still getting some channels with "weak or no signal" on a number of channels. I am going to try this device.

Only suggestions are 1) try to connect to the booster, after powering it up, from your remote device (iPad, etc.) - hopefully a connection wizard will come up on your remote device which will guide you through it or, 2) call Netgear for help.

I can't fully answer as the area I tried it in had no signal that the Booster could detect and therefore I could not use it. As I had high-speed Internet, I ended up with a Samsung Range Extender from Verizon that works great.

I have mine installed at our lake house, and have not had any issue with it dropping signal level. I have used it on a MiFi hot spot and our new Verizon modem without any such issues. Sounds like a malfunction in one of the pieces of equipment. Do you have another device that you could try to see if it is the antenna or your MiFi device?

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

The modem comes with everything you need including a setup disk which worked for me despite the experience of some other reviewers. I have had the modem for several months with no problems and would recommend it. When something happened to my Internet connection, I found that unplugging the modem adapter, waiting several seconds, and then replugging it returned operation to normal. You can look at the actual manual via the company's link (following); it includes the list of contents in the box. http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DSL/DSL%20520B/Manual/DSL-520B_Manual_US.pdf

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

It s not a great modem, I had it for 4 years and the range is horrible. Buy a newer one if you can!

I am sorry I cannot help you with this. When we decided to purchase our modem, we bought the same kind that we rented from our cable internet provider. We knew for certain that it would work.

It works for me. The key is pitting it close to the antenna. Boosters only push the signal.

The Motorola signal booster I purchased did nothing to improve the signal strength of my system (although I was looking for a better cable TV signal) and it knocked out my internet signal. For my system it was a waste of time and money (I have Comcast as an internet / TV / Phone provider) your situation may be different.
