Ok. Excuse my ignorance but for the WiFi do i need antenna or wires? or does it still work in a case like how it is shown?

Its ok lol, the wifi adapter comes pre-installed on the motherboard. All you need to do is run the included wires from the WiFi adapter to the antennas (also included). It has everything you need to make the computer wirelessly compatible. Of course you'll need your home wifi network to connect to, but that's it! Both the Wifi and the motherboard work wonderfully. I've been very happy with mine.

Wish I could help. Got mine because i have a wireless system and that's what i wanted. Sadly, still in the box. Your question had motivated me to open it. I'll publish a review shortly.

You do need a WIFI signal (at least briefly) for some odd reason...maybe location to get a TV signal. It doesn't make sense but otherwise it will lock the TV channel even if you get a good signal.

Hello friend. The wire is really short coming out of this antenna, around 1.5 ft. Btw this is not a router, just an antenna. It also didn't do anything to improve signal quality, I recommend you not to buy this item.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Is ths wi-fi ready and what do I need to buy if it isn't? I will be here tomorrow and I need it for my WAH job right away.

This modem / Router is WIFI capable. The antenna is built in. Most new modems have the antenna built in now.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

yes, it appears to have the hardware built into the base of the antenna. At first, there were two wiFi sources I listed under "network connections" so I disabled the network adapter on my laptop since I use it as a desktop (external keyboard, mouse and monitor. the most up to date software is found @ ralinktech.com

It unfortunately has bad wifi reception even with dual antenna. What I did was open it up and wrapped a copper wire around the antenna and now I get 3-4 bars at 4-8mbps. You could also solder a copprer wire to the antenna as well.

It has it's own built in wifi signal it emits to your device and that's how you connect to it. Honestly, I could never get it to work even though I could get my device to see it. I just plus it in and use it like a flash drive now.

It come with its own external antenna but you cannot hook up a ordinary coaxial cable to it. it uses a very tiny connector it the same antenna connector that old wifi cards used.

Yes. An Antenna is required to bring in the signal. Depending one many factors you will get a few to a large number for channels. Most are just looking for the major networks. This model is known for having a loud fan and over heating issues. The company has done a few improvements to help but most say issues persist. It's an interesting concept but my family found it wasn't ready to be a cable replacement yet.

i am no computer guru but i imagine you could run this in addition to your wifi card. it is not an antenna but rather a "receiver" with an external antenna.. it works just great with my older "rehabbed" desktop, much better than one without the external antenna.

No, This is for use with a flat panel antenna. No antenna is built in. I use them all the time with Hyperlink 24 dbi flat panel antennas with awesome results. Ubiquiti makes about the best outdoor Wifi Gear out there. They do make one with a built in antenna Google UniFI or better yet go on their website and see what they offer.

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

The antenna connectors are for the integrated Wi-Fi card. You can optionally attach an included antenna to extend your Wi-Fi range.
