So I can connect a pc with this if I already have wifi broadcasting? The pc cant detect wifi on its own. Will the be a good product?

A wireless apt like belkin N150 or wet11 the wet11 can be connected to a different antenna if you have a weak signal

Ididn't have much luck using it. But i have a Mac so I will not be able to respond accurately. Sorry.

Served its purpose for many, many years as a Wi-Fi adapter that connects to an ethernet port. If it's for a computer that has a USB port, then you may be better served investigating USB Wi-Fi adapter type products that have a smaller footprint, don't require an external power adapter, and support both higher speeds and the latest wireless security protocols. For example, the TRENDnet wireless adapter that I have installed in an available USB port on my desktop has been reliably providing Wi-Fi connection for years.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

I can't say for sure about Windows 8 compatibility, however i see no reason it would not work. The Signal King is basically just an antenna to increase the range your computer so you can pick up WiFi signals. My home WiFi transmitter is in the house and I use a computer in the garage probably 75' from the house. If the weather conditions are right it works to connect me to the internet. If not I do not get a strong enough signal to connect. I had no luck using it at all until I drilled a hole in the garage and mounted the antenna outside pointed directly at the WiFi device in the house. Mounting it outside gave me moderate connection results in good weather. I think the product is fine but due to my distance from the source transmitter it only gives me limited results for successful internet surfing. Hope that helps you. Peace and Love.

I can't answer that specific question since I'm full time in a motorhome and used it to pick up weak RV park WiFi signals. I would expect, however, that is you can pick up a weak signal at all then this device should give you a good connection. Note, however, that the driver software works for this purpose only on Windows. The Mac OS is not supported for this use.

I read the answers to this and tried using mine with one port. It worked, so I attached it to a USB extension cable, raised the adapter, and my WIFI signal increased 15%.

This is a stand alone device. Use it to add WiFi to a non WiFi capable computer or replace a WiFi chipset that has gone bad. Be sure to disable any existing WiFi in the bios if it is built into the motherboard

I would recommend getting a USB type, there are expasion slots inside but I have found using an external DLink USB transmitter works well if you have N Technology on your wireless router be sure to get an N type USB card

I'm sorry. I've only ever used it for pc connectivity and really don't know. Wish I could be more help.

Sure, it should work. I can't say anything about potential performance though... too many variables to consider. Make sure you have a decent antenna. Keep in mind this is a mini PCI-E device, not mini PCI. If you find yourself wanting another antenna but you're limited in space (like a laptop for example) consider an "internal wifi antenna." It's just a pigtail and a little, flat patch of and plastic and metal. Place it on the inside your screen - at the rear (some dismantling required) and make sure it's electrically isolated from other metal parts in the back of the screen. That's all I have at the moment. Good luck!

most likely.i need to know what kind of dongle you have in mind.i did use a dongle on mine to get connected with mine in order to download the needed drivers for the internal wifi card.

The way it works is you connect it via USB to your computer, it sets up the drivers, then you would be able to connect to any router as if your desktop were now a laptop. So it should be able to connect to their wifi. Whether it is a good connection will depend on if it is in a good enough range and you can get signal there and you will need their password. So just like how a laptop connects to wifi. The last time I used one of these connectors it connected well but it ran hot (it will feel hot to the touch). Did this help?

Tara, my son's computer had no wifi until I purchased this little usb thingamajig. It worked very well with my router and current provider, and it is still working. I hope that helps!

According to the manufacturer's website, you need a "WiFi Qumi Dongle" to use that feature. I have not located such a thing as yet. It is not listed as a purchasable accessory on that site.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Your pc has to have wireless and WiFi. I use mine with my smartphone and it works just fine.

Not really sure when I was setting it up with my Pi I was showing like -198db (I really know next to nothing about signal strength so I assume that isn't good) when I plugged it into my PC that is slightly farther away it was getting 4/5 bars (which is generally a good thing) so who knows. Once I got it working with on my Pi it really hasn't been a problem, course the most intensive tasks it handles is the occasional apt-get.Probably best not to expect the moon from any of these micro wifi dongles since their internal antenna is uber tiny.

Yes. Both need to be connected to the same WiFi network during setup. Works best on a laptop with built-in WiFi. More challenging on a desktop with external WiFi router.
