My modem is on the second floor of my house, if I put this on the second floor can we still get good reception in the basement?

Yes you should, but it really depends on the construction of your home and how "WiFi unfriendly" it is. If you have standard wooden floors than it shouldn't be a problem, but if you have something like concrete (as an example), this is very bad for WiFi signals.

My main router is in my basement. I put the extender upstairs, on my first floor which is about 200 feet away from the extender. It reaches another 1,000 feet to our second floor guest rooms. Best purchase we made and the company is extremely helpful.

That's the exact modem I have and this little range extender works great. I have the modem in my basement office, and put this unit up on our main floor and it boosts the signal all over our house for great reception anywhere in our home now. The wireless signal from the modem would be weak if you weren't on the same floor, but this unit was a great investment for us and I'd definitely buy it again.

Hello D. Deen. I work in a older 3 story building, approx 90 plus years old, made of brick and cinder block. I get good reception on the second floor. The FM is strong regardless where the radio is. The AM works better by a window and away from electronics like computers. All said I am very happy with this radio.

Yes. But if it is used in a basement, you may need to place it above ground level to get a signal. (That is what happened to us. Not a big deal for us.)

Depends on your floor material, if wood needn't, if cement I'm afraid the signal will drop to very low level and you'd best get a repeater or deployment another router.

Depends. I bought mine and installed it. I live in coral springs, fl, a relatively flat area, so the signals come in crisp from the local stations. the type of house you live in shouldn't matter. it's the topography of the area you live in. hills, tall buildings, etc... will effect reception.

My WiFi range works on the third floor with the modem in the basement. That is a distance of at least 75 feet.

sorry i do not know.my tv is near a window and the antenna is perched on the sill and gets good reception. i cant say how well it would work in a basement.

It should work between a basement and other floors of a house. I don't have a basement, but it has good range and works through walls and between upstairs and downstairs rooms.

I have my router on the first floor and radio on the second floor and it works great. (I'm able to get a good signal on my laptop so before getting the radio my assumption/hope was that this would indicated enough signal strength for the radio to work.)

It all depends on how far it is from the wifi router that is connected to the internet. If you can place the repeater somewhere around midway between your computer and the router, that would probably give you the best odds of good reception. I'm assuming the router is at your neighbors house? If you can position the router at their house as close as possible to your house, but still within a range that gives them adequate reception, then placing the repeater midway between the router and your computer would increase the quality of the signal you recieve.

The range is adequate. I have it connected to my PC in the basement, and router is on the 1st floor of my house. The signal is strong and I've never lost connection.

I would go with the more expensive boosters for basement applications. I am on the first floor and have it mounted to the top of a window next to my desk. Signal strength goes from one bar to four most of the time. They have a unit that is mounted to the roof and boosts the signal for everywhere in the house. It was about $150 last time I checked, and it was well rated.

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.

It will work, but you may get only a limted number channels depending on your area. Also, I am not sure if will pick a good signal in a basement.
