I am suppose to have free WIFI also but they have a very cheap system & I am at end of park but the antenna works good in the window of my trailer & outside but if 4 to 6 people are using the Parks WIFI we start having problems but as far as the Antenna goes I would say it is worth the money(again that is just my opinion in my situation)-Good Luck

Mine has given me much more range than I had with just my modem. I cna now surf my whole property vs just 10 ft or so from before.

Hello, Barb. I assume you have the 1W Alfa AWUS036H. That particular unit comes with a 9dBi omni-directional antenna. The UBDO-nt on the other hand has a 12dBi directional antenna, and a 2W transmitter. It is essentially twice as sensitive and twice as powerful. For every 3dBi you increase antenna sensitivity, you DOUBLE the antenna's sensitivity. This being said, the biggest factor to having a good signal is line-of-sight between receiver and transmitter. If the signal has to pass through a whole house worth of drywall, brick, aluminum siding and trees to go from point A to point B, your signal will suffer regardless of the transmitter power or antenna sensitivity. The higher you can mount the antenna above obstructions, the better. A free program called "inSSIDer" can be used to help you fine-tune and place your antenna for the best signal. If you want an Ipad to work on the system as well, you need to go a completely different route. You'll need to hook up a "Wifi Bridge" that can act as a local repeater. I would recommend the Asus RT-N16 router installed with DD-WRT in Bridge mode with three TP-LINK-TL-ANT2415D antennas instead of any of Alfa's products. Hope this helps.

Hello, I am sorry I am not sure. You should be able to download additional apps on your tv with wi fi?

Version 1.0 comes with a nice antenna. The issue is that the WiFi module in Version 1 uses is an old WiFi module from Microchip that supports WiFi A&B; but not G (i.e. is limited and old). The WiFi A & B protocols are old standards and many modern (even 4+ year old) routers/AP don't support those protocols well (or in some cases at all). Version 2.0 uses a newer WiFi module that supports the G standard along with a few more enhancements.

It works but only off an I.p. Address it gives to you when hooked up on the network. I'll sell you mine for 50.00 because I never use it. I like good video and AirPlay or wifi that is consistent and easy, bought a Apple TV for less $ and use it to do far more than this dongle. We are all Apple in my business and home so even easier. But this will do what it says but painful at times. Good luck and buy mine if you need one lol

I had a first generation IPad and it didn't work for me either. I got only audio. I returned it for a refund and got a roku.

i would like to use this aquos tv with hulu as well, that would be the best app. i bought roku, but that seems pointless on an already wifi tv. Maybe if we bug sharp enough they'll figure out a way to add it.

If I walk away from the extender, toward my router. My iPad will ask me to reconnect to the internet. If it is off, it will just connect to it by itself. I myself love this extender. Have it for streaming on my tv and it makes a huge difference. Also have an Ethernet cable running out of it to play station in a detached apartment

That is the correct part for Wifi only EMC2560 iPad 2. You can also check on ifixit . Com. Take care.

You must buy a separate attachment and download their app to do it. It does not come with the required wifi add on. I was disappointed by that as well but for the price it has worked really well for me.

O yeah, absolutely. I have had mine for a year and can get wifi connection for all my devices. Go for it!

Yes I needed this to access my apps like netflix. Some of the Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. Hope this helps.

You should as I do. The setup is pretty simple. Instructions are provided. You're device will need to be truly equipped with wi-fi capabilities. If it's a device that enables smart apps on your tv, those usually still require an ethernet connection to a modem or a device like this. But this will at least provide a remote hard wire access point in those situations.

If you are interested in the streaming aspect then yes - otherwise I don't see a need to. You have plenty of memory and tuners. We upgraded because we only had 2 tuners and not enough memory and I really wanted to be able to stream to my IPAD anywhere. I think that is the main benefit.

I have uploaded video to You Tube with the iPad still in the mount with no problems. As far as I can determine, there is no interference with the wifi connectivity.

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

You will need to check your WiFi signal where this will be mounted. If you don't have full bars can be problematic. It's a very simple install getting it to sync up is were you can run into issues.

The antenna has a little more gain than the antenna in your computer so it can pick up weak signals better, but if it less than one bar, it may still not pick it up good enough to have a solid connection and may not work. The modem has to receive as well, the 1W output is enough power to do that provided it is receiving well. Test what you have and see how many bars you have. If it is one or less, you may not get a good enough signal with this adapter. 2 or more and it will definitely make a difference. Line of site is also important, put your WIFI adapter where it can get a signal out through a window, the high frequency of the WIFI doesn't go through aluminum very well. Find out where the antenna is in the trailer park and position your computer's adpater to be within sight of it. This will give you the best possible signal.
