Will this unit, not only, increase my reception range of my Netgear across street, but also, give me great transmission in my house for streaming video?

I connected this product to the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 and have no problem streaming HD movies via Roku. However, as you probably know, your ability to stream video smoothly is not just a matter of signal strength but also your download speed which has to do mostly with your internet provider. The key is that you have to place this unit where you get at least a 70 percent signal strength from your Netgear router. This product will then amplify and extend your Wi-Fi signal range. You can also download the Android app (assuming you have an Android device) from Amped Wireless site and measure the signal strength you with your Netgear router and Amped Wireless range extender.

The power of this unit is very strong, but it does not live well with a router that wants to refresh the IP lease. Check with Amped Wireless tech support to see if the Router you are using will work with it. Th Amped AC2000 is a wireless access point that has good range too and is happy on any network. good luck John

Truly, I've not been able to get my new Amped Range extender to actually operate. I continue to have problems getting on line via the extender. This is the second one that I've tried to use. They sent this second unit when they pronounced my initial unit out of commish! I truly have not had the time to call and discuss the recent developments with the tech folks with Amped Wireless. Good Luck

I am using mine to stream roku and it works flawlessly. It has to do with signal strength. If you are getting a strong signal you should be fine. The web site and manual says 70 is optimum strength but I get 62 to 65 and my connection and speed re really great.

I'm using mine with a new Linksys AC router. I wouldn't count on across the street. Just took my Ipad outside and got to the middle of the street where I lost the signal. Depends on how many walls the signal has to go thru. As far as inside the house, it amplifies the signal wonderfully. I get great streaming on my laptop and on my TV, especially on the 5GHz channel. Much better than the el cheapo Netgear range extender I replaced.

It did with my AC68U. I was able to get a usable signal outside my house whereas before these as could not.You'll see improvement with 2.4Ghz but not so much with 5Ghz.

I would think so. My Wireless unit is on the third floor of my house and I get a good signal in the basement.

Yes, my router is no only on the other side of the house ,it is also upstairs. My son,s x box and netflix works great down here.

Answer to your question is Yes. However, you will be very disappointed with the communicating range of these units.

You're not likely to improve phone reception by putting an extender in a basement. I got a powerline wi-fi network adapter (runs your network thru the power outlets to give you an Ethernet jack anywhere) and put this unit (which require an Ethernet cable connection) in a second-story room so that it had the best phone and GPS signal.

No. The antenna will only increase the range. The maximum speed is whatever you put into the device.

I think 40-50 yards might be pushing it for a decent signal. The website lists it for a large home, which I agree, it works great all through our house and outside the perimeter but it gets really weak as I'm pulling out of our short driveway. It's a great router, I highly recommend it but it might not fit your distance needs.

What I would suggest is that you also invest in the A6200 USB adapter to connect to your system in the Garage that way your signal is enhanced for better connectivity from that distance. Research here:http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-adapters/a6200.aspx. I have both the router and the USB wifi adapter. But it has been my experience that speeds are better wired!

It will improve streaming only if you have a weak signal to the location where you are watching. If you have a strong signal already, it won't help. This device improves signal strength at remote locations. It will not improve speed if you have a strong signal.

Get the Extreme with the amplifier, it works great at those distances. You may need to place in a window towards the transmission tower in your area. Use the included power adapter, as it produces a bit more current and seems to work better. I have used the Extreme at those distances, and I am receiving 40 plus channels.

Yes it will help. I am not sure if it will provide the solution, though. I share internet with my neighbor about 200 feet away and I get good reception. You mention acres, though. It would depend on the distance.

yes you can use this antenna to improve the signal and it can significantly boost your signal about roughly 20-30 more yards than what your factory antenna can. If you house is horizontally with rooms and TV's and microwaves and other electronics interfering with the signal then expect bad signal response. I have tried it with router down stairs west wall to up stairs far east wall with chimney in the way and it still works great. my friends tap off my wireless router 3 houses down the street with 70% signal still. I would recommend this product highly. My first one I bought was defective but my second one works great. remember doesn't improve internet speed just signal. most people forget or just didn't know. Hope this helps? Review answered by Exodus {22:34}

Absolutely, mine picks up neighbors signal from three houses away. Just aim the antenna towards the router.

Yes, it will. I have set one up for friend that is riding on neighbors signal and she is over 120 feet away from router. No issues watching youtube, netflix with this device.

It will probably help with your issue. The Netgear N900 Dual Band Wi-Fi picks up signals as far away as my neighbors houses. With other receivers I only can see my own Wi-Fi. I would recommend this product.

You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.
