Will this antenna allow my daughter, who lives next door, to connect to my router? It's about200 ft. distance.

Yes, I have used this antenna to connect 2 miles away. I find it to be better that other outdoor antennas. Just remember it is directional, so has to be pointed towards you home or wifi.

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

Yes, if your daughter's router (or as others have said, wifi adapter) has removable antennas with reverse polarity SMA connectors (the small SMA connectors) on it. OR, you could connect the antenna to your router. As has been said below, the antenna must point right at the other house.

Yes, it will allow your daughter who lives next door to have a good connection; be sure to aim the antenna in the right direction or your daughter will not get a strong signal; Important, this is a directional antenna; it must be aim in the right direction.This is NOT a bidirectional antenna, I repeat, ok? Any other technical question i will be happy to help you.

Most definitely, that range is within the capabilities of this antenna. I can pick up accesspoints about 300-500 feet down my street, I have about 15 listed with this antenna and an alfa wireless usb adapter. With the built wifi card in my laptop, I have only 2 listed. You do need a wifi adapter with a reverse polarity sma connector on it to hook it to. Amazon sells these as well. I suggest a usb adapter so you can use it with a laptop or desktop

I suggest only using this for a router to boost outgoing signal. It's size cannot help any more in increasing incoming signal then a normal 9dbi antenna can bring in due to the power it can use to receive signal. Connected to a router it can put out very good signal when pointed in the right direction. As per what Javier said, it is best used outside. Mine came wrapped fairly well, only one minor scratch and it was in good working condition.Sorry I couldn't help with this sooner but I only noticed the email notification for this subject today.

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

i'm not quite sure... my xbox is about twenty feet from my router in the next room, but i've read other good reviews on it.

this is only an antenna..it must be connected to a router of some type and if the router is located inside the steel building you should be okay..it is also dependent on what type antenna you have on the router furnishing the signal from your house..a stub antenna attached to a router inside your house will probably not work...could take 2 of these antennas, one outside the house and another on the steel building..

Range is not very good. Anything outside 20-25 feet, you actually will loose connection. It was so bad that i had re locate this router closer to the center of the basement. It works flawlessly otherwise. I am contemplating of purchasing the extender so it work consistently on my patio. I did all the suggestions on the web, from changing settings within the GUI up to the antenna positioning with no luck. It just has a short range on its own.

It did for my laptop. Increased reception enough to connect to a metal building 100 feet away from router.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

However far it can pick up the wifi it will amplify the signal. The farthest I have used it is about 1,000 feet from a router.

I am not sure how to answer your question because it plugged in easily to my router, but the antenna was useless. I was told by my internet provider that a longer antenna would help with the internet reception in parts of my house that were not near the router, but it had no effect. I eventually had a booster router installed at several hundred dollars' cost for the unit and installation, and that works fine.

2.4gzh antenna with a screw on fitting will work. The ones that work with your home wifi router will work. Just search for a 2.4gzh wifi antenna and you should find one that will work for your application.

The short answer is yes, but you may need an adaptor depending on what connector is on your access point or wifi adapter. I have used this antenna to connect a wireless router to a distant access point and it works very well.

Shane, I am not an electronical engineer, but I have been repairing and playing with computers for almost 40 years. However, I do know a lot about antennas because I am a ham radio operator. It has been my experience that adding a higher db antenna to your access point will do nothing or very little in terms of giving you a larger radius. The antennas on routers are built to be "tuned" to the access point for maximum distance. Changing them can actually degrade your signal. Don't wast your money. Ron

Look at the documentation for your specific router and see what it says it will support. If your router doesnt support certain speeds then this antenna wont work at its full capacity so it wouldnt even be worth buying. Check your router documentation and go from there

Yes you can. It will connect to any router within it's ring. That could be 10 yards away or 100 yards away. It will even connect to your smart phone if you set it up as a hot spot.

It is possible if you have very few things in the way. You may need a 1/2 watt or 1 watt power booster. If you have to Hawking antennas aimed at each other it should increase your range. Be sure to check on speed to make sure the connection works correctly. Sometimes you can have a good link and no speed.

My daughter had it in her room upstairs and it connects to the router downstairs in the opposite side of the 3400 sqf home. I guess it depends on the strength of the signal.
