Can this be used to house a wifi router such as a small airport express? Will the wifi signal be able to penetrate the enclosure?

I could fit my Netgear router in to it with out the foot on it if I needed to. I don't know how big an airport express is. I wouldn't think the plastic would cut to much, if anything, off of your signal strength. I use mine out side to house my antenna booster and cable splitters and connections, I can tell you they stay dry clean so a Wifi router could probably survive in side this box. Heat in the summer could be a problem if you are using it outside.

The box is plastic so the signal should transmit. It is large enough to hold a very small router. I don't know how your router will hold up with no ventilation, outside humidity, etc.

No. Its only connection is thru the USB type thumb looking drive. Will not interfere with router.

I am using this device as a wireless lan extender and it is working out just fine. I do not know if it functions as well as a wireless access point without a wireless router in place.

do not use long cable, wifi router better close to antenna as possible, wifi frequency decay a lot in this kind cable.

Quite close yes. But you can get a signal booster dirt cheap. This will extend the wifi signal significantly.

I believe so. the receiver antenna will supply a hard wired Ethernet jack/signal. you can simply connect a wifi router or access point and broadcast that wifi signal in the remote area.

I would think that it would. I did not use it for that purpose. I have a cabin where there is open wifi available a few blocks away. It has helped to be able to pickup a strong enough signal to use the internet. Keep in mind that this not "N" wifi but "G" which is 54mbs as compared to 300 or 600mbs.

yes it should fit it however the antennas that come with it are already really good so I don't know how much of a gane you'll see. in my application using it with a d-link router it did help a lot but of course that's because my router came with very small antennas.

I used it for a TP-Link router to increase the reception/transmission power. You might look up the specifications for the antenna to get a better idea for your usage.

you could, but it will have to much signal lost. maybe if you put the antenna by the router your getting the signal off.

Yes it will. But make sure not to damage the wifi antena it's very fragile.

No, that's not true. But the tiniest amount of WiFi interference will knock out your connection to this thing. I rarely, if ever, have the same problem with an Apple Airport Express connected to some powered speakers.

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.

Emilo: I am not sure it would fit, but even if it did, it would scare me to use it, I wouldrather use a router table for a bit that large. Hope this helps

I didn't check the "I don't know" choice but although I do not have an N router, I would think it would be downward combatable with the radio. Hope someone with an N router can give you a better answer.

It will work as an access point. Depending on the landscape though, you may not get signal. If suggest visiting the forums at ubnt.com.

Yes. I have this router in my basement, and the WiFi connection reaches to my second story. Remember that the radio signal points out of the side of an antennae like a doughnut, so I have one antennae pointed horizontally so its wifi signal points upward. And the other two antennas are pointed in two other random directions.
