I want to add 50 meters of extension cable. Will I need some type of booster to get to my router?

The small RG58 size cable at 2.4 GHz loses over 1 dB per meter. If the antenna has 14 dB gain, you lose any gain after ~14 meters. So YES you'll need another solution like moving the router with the antenna and linking with CAT 5 which is good to ~ 100 meters.

I'm not sure but my guess is that 50 meters is going to cause a noticeable drop in the signal strength. I've added 5+ meters without a problem. Amazon sells extensions up to 9 meters only. My best suggestion would be to ask the manufacture.

50' feet is quite a distance. It would possible if you had a really good quality HDMI cable. Maybe. It's really not the function of this device to power such a long run. Even if an excellent cable would work at 50' my guess would be that you would probably be a lot better off financially if you used a booster or active cable as opposed to spending big bucks on a cable. Using a cable booster would also be a much more likely approach to success.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

Not 100% sure if you will be able to extend that far but what I can tell you is when extending the wifi signal you lose performance and internet speed the farther the extender is from the router and the farther your products that you will be using are from the extender hope this helps

I am not sure. This is just a USB extension cable to extend the length of your current USB cable. if the combination of this cable and your current cable hooked together measure 16 foot or longer, I would get an extension cable with a booster built inline.

I am not using any extenders still I get 100 mbps about 50 feet away. It should support, If you not using everything together.

They sell a 50 mile antenna that looks like this same antenna with an added amplifier/booster. Perhaps buying it, and just adding additional coax might give you the same results as the others have mentioned. BTW, I thought this antenna worked surprisingly well...if your local channels' signals, and your tv's tuner, are strong enough, you may be able to add extra coax with a signal booster. Good luck.

you can get an extension cable for it , i do not know the number for it though.

You should be able to extend to 50 feet, the only thing is go with a 18 or 22 gage wire not 20 gage.

Is does not matter. I recommend you place them as far apart from each other as possible in order to get more range. You should consider purchasing an extended cable.

I already answered, but I should have added that this device alone could not extend the signal with a 50' cable. I had to use the other extended that is mentioned specifically for the Tripp Lite 50' (15 meter) cable. But I didn't have this device at the END of the 50' cable, but connected to the computer DVI port via a 3' cable. Then I had one 25' cable, w/o any additional device, connected to one screen, and the other output went to another screen through (in this order): this device - 50' cable - Signal Extender - 3' cable - monitor.MAYBE this device would work if connected w/ the 50' cable between it and the computer.

Yes - But if you are using a router lift you should check with the manufacturer.

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set.You may not even need an extender.

The supplied cables are 60'. You could use a 150' RG5918/2 cable and a plug in power supply to avoid signal degration and power loose on the very small sized cable provided.

My experience is that the distances are stated very conservatively and you probably will not need a booster, but if you still needed more signal a booster would work.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

I don't know about which expanders you could use, but I get 200 feet before I lose my connection, and that's with my router going through 2 layers of 12" block wall. If I move it out of my basement, into my upstairs office, I get 400 feet before I lose signal. I'd be shocked if this router won't do what you want.
