I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

Haven't had any problems with two laptops working off the signal, so can't respond. Hope you can work it out.

Hey I also should have mentioned it in my last response to your question. If you want the best signal with these to order yourself one of the panel antenna to go with it, you won't be sorry. I found that to be the best one for multiple signal issues. I actually order two more of them for myself after buying the first one. I'm using it right now with a shared internet connection over a hundred feet away with buildings and walls in between for around two years or more now. Great connection and speeds. It also works better than either one of my laptops internal wi-fi. Good luck :-)

I do not recommend purchasing of Toshiba at all. My Toshiba 3.0TB died after 1 month of using. Bed Locks. Now it is in the box, useless. Buy Samsung 3.0TB. Works great.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

Yes, this is the whole point. As long as your outlets are connected to the same main circuit (they should be), you can transport the signal anywhere at home.

I just read the other answer and I thought that was a bit short so I just tested it. From my smoker, through my house(75'); out the front and across the street(75'); up to the corner(150'); across the street and up 1/2 of the block(150'); still getting a signal. Starts to become intermittent during the next 39' before I lost it altogether. So maybe mine's special but I have no problem taking it all through my house and in any kind of weather.

No it's not in a large building. It's only in an apartment. The signal does go into the building fine.

If you can see a signal now, this will almost certainly improve it. If you can't see his signal at all, this may not help. I have a small shop that is across the road from my house. The total distance is only about 150' but the signal has to pass through 5 walls and a tree line. With my laptop at the door of the shop, I could get a signal strength of 1 bar. With the Alpha plugged into a USB port on the laptop, I can move it to the back of the shop and I still have a signal strength of 4 bars.

It depends on what you mean when you say the "signal gets shoddy." I was unable to connect except on one spot on my fourth floor (with the main connection on the second floor). There was only one spot where I could get almost-consistent signal quality on the fourth floor until I got the Netgear WN3000RP, which I placed in that "sweet spot." I still have the rare dropout and I mean rare. My advice? Unless your signal is just completely lousy, try it. You can always return it.

I have never lost signal on either of my cable cards. Other than the initial installation I've never had to call for any kind of service. As far as TiVo dropping it I seriously doubt it. I have to admit that if it were to fail out of warranty it is one of the few pieces of technology in the house I'd have to replace immediately. Mine is used every day for 4 to 10 hours.

I just ordered a Toshiba L645D-S4036, and the specs say there is no port to plug in a modem. Does this mean that I will have to get wi-fi installed in my home in order to use the internet on my laptop when I'm at home? Sorry to sound ignorant--I am!

I have had the same issues, but maybe for less time than yours. I live in a populated area west of Chicago, with little or no obstructions around me and it still takes approximately 10 minutes, sometimes longer, to get a signal with my 250W. Here's the catch though...it keeps

Just yesterday my grandson noticed that he had signal 2 blocks away, driving away. There was a large brick building between us and the house. If you have lath and plaster walls, that might reduce your signal a bit. I'd guess it will work just fine.
