I'm looking for something to help boost the wifi signal in my motorhome when we are on a public access network at campgrounds. Would this be useful?

This is what you need to Boost the wifi signal. 2013 Kasens 990wg New Launch 60dbi Panel Antenna 3070 SMA Connector Wireless Usb Adapter Adaptador Wifi Usb 6000mw

No it is very hard to get to connect to system and does not stay connected. Would not recommend.

No, because you would need access to the public wifi settings to set the extender up.

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

There are several things you can do to get better signal. The higher in your home you can locate your router the better. If you are stuck keeping it in a lower level, I found the DAP-1320 repeater to work quite well and an inexpensive fix. I use one of these to provide signal to the backyard and find it to be quite good.

We bought this and it did not do too much for boosting our WiFi signal. We just may have an older house. We removed it and didn't notice a difference.

I would think it would work fine. Shouldn't matter what kind of router or IP address. It should have the ability to extend the signal.

I do not understand what you are wanting here. Is it you are wanting to use this to boost the signal inside your house and that is why you have a router? This is an external outside " directional " antenna. It helps to direct a cell phone signal to a cell phone tower. It uses a cell phone signal booster like those sold by Wilson Electronics. If this router provides a signal boost then maybe it can but I can not really answer your question without knowing what it is you want.

I have the Freedom Spot Photon 4G and that all I need to provide wifi hot spot for my laptop, tablet, and smart phones. I do not have USB modem. I believe it serves the same function but you can only connect to device that has USB port and only one at a time. Wayne

I will be looking to solve the same problem in about 6 months, and so have considered the alternatives. The GL-iNet might work, but its range might be limited because it has no external antenna. I am more inclined to try the TP-LINK TL-WR940N or WR841ND. I am comfortable working with the open source router software, openWrt, and would set the router up to link to the campground AP and then provide a local AP for my wireless devices as well as a connection for a set-top box of some sort (Roku or Chromecast or other).

Yes, this will help if you have a low signal level getting to your modem. If you don't have too low a signal level then it will do nothing useful. In other words if your signal is lower than about (negative) -13dBmV this may help. If it's higher it won't.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

It does not require a hot spot Wi Fi, actually that is what this Power link is stealing from other users a signal such as this . It will pick up signals from your Public Library, laundrymat McDonalds , Donut Shoppe etc. So you don't have an internet bill.

It works as a hot spot for any device with Wifi capability. But you'll need to have Clearwire in your area.

Yes, it will allow you to connect your desktop to a wireless router. That is what it is for. It is "dual" band because now routers sometimes come as dual band routers and you can then connect to either band. Of course, it will not give you "free" internet service where none is available. If the RV park has internet service that you have to pay for, you will still have to pay for it ... but at least this adapter will allow you to get the wireless service.

As long as you have a. Wi-Fi connection you should be OK. The problem if you are using a campground network, they are sometimes slow and don't allow for the data to stream. In theory you could use a cell phone as your own network then monitor it from another cell phone. This is a great little camera. We have one for each of our two young puppies so we can check in while at work. It's nice that in the hot summer the display also indicates the room temperature too.

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

Yes, it is intended to create hotspots or wifi networks in small commercial buildings like hotels. You can set it up to charge for use in a variety of ways.

Per our engineer: Probably not as this device is not very granular in feature settings and I would not recommend using it for anything other than an access point.
