It's complicated, talk to Wilson tech support, they are pretty good. I am an end user, not an installer.

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.

Plug it into your MiFi and move it to different areas of your home to see where the best signal is. The mobile hotspot solved my problem.

you need this device if your phone service is one pert of the house and you can't run wires to another part where you'd also like service. You need phone jacks to plug into this, one on each end. If your phone service provides a phone jack that allows you to plug a handset or fax machine into it, then this should work.

I have 5 handsets, one of which is located in a room that is at the far end of a second garage. The signal has to go through a brick wall in addition to another wall. So far I have had no loss of link with any of my 5 handsets. Sorry I have no solution to your problem.

I'm not aware of a range extender. I had the same thought as given in the previous answer, install the base unit on the first floor. Or, try moving the base unit to a different place in the basement.

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

Depending on the signal outside of your house is the answer...If you were to walk outside the home do you get improved signal bars on your phone? If you have 2 to 3 bars then this will theoretically place those inside your home. The second question is how much distance do you want inside the home. If you just went with this and say a small candy bar inside antenna (the piece that amplifies the incoming signal inside your home) then your going to be limited to sitting close to that point to use your phone. They make cradles that attach to the antenna's cable that comes in your house and this cradle will amplify this signal but it's limited to usually leaving the phone in or very near to the cradle to actually work. The best way to increase the signal inside your home is to purchase both the outside antenna and an inside powered booster with it's own inside antenna. The Zboost Tri Band unit is something to consider... http://www.amazon.com/zBoost-ZB575-A-Phone-Signal-Booster/dp/B00KDZEE68/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=12DMKJ3CH3Y7R65NDHZS Or the Wilson Kit...Easy to Setup aswell.... http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-460101-Signal-Booster/dp/B00HWX16GU/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1409158009&sr=1-1&keywords=wilson+att+signal+booster Both kits are all inclusive meaning everything is included to setup and use, no additional parts to buy. I own a similar Wilson kit to boost my cell phone and cell internet hub and it's been working flawless for a couple years and I can use my cell phone in the room located upstairs from where I installed the kit. Without the kit before I had zero bars in the basement, now I have 5 to 4 bars anywhere in the basement. Outside my home I have 2 bars before the booster was installed.

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

I can receive a signal in my house. There's no connection I can see for an external antenna.

You are still going to need a service provider. This device would take the signal from a cable modem, DSL modem or other RJ45 network connection.

You'll need some kind of receiver. We installed these during our basement finish. We have an outlet where all the wires come out of the wall and then plug them into the receiver, which communicates with our TV.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

Dave. Thanks for your input. It was thorough and cogent. I will follow your advice. I do have a stand alone Motorola modem supplied by ATT. i will still need the connection to my computer. Do I get a splitter so that I can have an output to both the computer and the wi-fi roouter?

I am not sure how it works, but I have installed one my basement and it calls my cell when tested. There is no connection except plugging it in to standard wall outlet and paying an annual subscription fee. It is not logged into my home network either.

Locate the tower that you will be getting your signal from (ie verizon, sprint, etc.) and mount the antenna horizontally and point it towards that antenna. You might have to fine tune it some but the antenna does help once it has been aimed correctly. The directions said to set your phone to some setting that reads your signal strength. My phone did not have this setting so I had to go by trial and error.

I agree with johnk2633: use the phone connectors to connect to your phone outlet, probably the standard one on the wall where you have you phone line coming out now. The instructions should tell you how to make these connections. If all else fails, maybe google "connect Krown Amplified Ringer to phone" and you might get a video hit to walk you through it. Hope this helps.
