We have a similar netgear booster that gets the signal to the top of the stairs. Can this then pick up that signal and get it into the corner bedroom.

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful

Yes it works fine. It's very useful device. Easy set up and put the signal wherever you need.

I don't know for sure about the signal spread, but I think you are OK. It would be better to check with the manufacturer. I have a concern that regardless of the angle, the signal may not penetrate the metal skin of the building. It may take a second antenna on the metal building itself to pick up the signal and then feed to a wireless router inside the building. Just a caution... I'm not an expert.

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.

Hi M. Ryan, this extender may help, if the streamer upstairs is out of (or nearly out of) the coverage area of the main router. We'd recommend that you set up the extender about halfway between the main router and the streamer to provide the best signal possible.

Absolutely, mine picks up neighbors signal from three houses away. Just aim the antenna towards the router.

That's exactly what Wi-Fi repeaters were invented to do. This one can do it to a point, like all repeaters. If it can get and keep a signal, then it can boost it. Keep in mind that it doesn't have any external antennas so don't expect miracles. "Weak" will have limitations. If you have room, you might want to get a full sized repeater with antennas depending on how weak the signals you plan on boosting.

Probably not. This thing is junk. Can barely get a signal in the next room.

No, you would need to attach it directly to the modem, but you should be able to pick up the signal 1000 ft. away as long as there are not any major obstructions between you and it - rock or stone walls, metal siding, etc.

I have not done that personally because with a signal booster I can pick up everything there is available to me where I live, raising the antenna higher up was all I needed to do. I do know someone that did what you are talking about, was the only way he could pick up the FOX network, and it worked out great for him, no signal boost needed and he picked up even a few more other channels

This splitter will amplify any signal supplied to it. However, it won't help with reception. If the input signal to the splitter is intermittent or noisy, the splitter won't help with that. In my case, the cable into my house had several splits before it came to my cable modem. Installing this splitter boosted a weak, but otherwise intact, signal back up to a useable level.

No the extender can be placed wherever you need to extend the signal in your place. I have my router upstairs and the extender downstairs. Signal downstairs is great for smart TV and all devices down there while router is used for upstairs.

Depending on the layout of your home, you may want to put the extender on the first floor above ground in order to get the strong signal to repeat coming from the router.

We have a older (tube-type) TV and the wireless router is on another floor.The HD works great and gets a max strength signal.

Yes most definitely! I also live in a two story house with my bedroom upstairs and modem downstairs, and i get full signal in my bedroom, so no issues there!

Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there. I lived in an apartment, but I lived on the top floor of a 4 story building, nothing really blocked the signal that high. I was able to get channels other people who lived in houses couldn't. So, it all depends on where you live, and how close you think you are to the transmitters or if your in line of site to those transmitters. You might try a amplified antenna, it might help get more gain, but I too thought this Terk would do wonders, and it really didn't, if the signal isn't there it just isn't there. So, your best bet might be cable, but I understand it can be expensive. Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there.

As long as there is an opening in the room where you place the unit, the signal should freely go through your house. To get the strongest signal in your situation, you may want to leave the door open to another room where you are taking advantage of the wireless signal. But the unit delivers a clear signal throughout my house and even outdoors for that matter. I have had no issues with signal strength in using mine, and the unit is an easy set-up with the software CD to manage your network.

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.
