How does this antanna work? I have an antanna that plugs into my usb, but i'm not sure what to plug this into.

Unscrew the antenna from the USB WiFi booster. Connect the female end of the cable provided with the Bolo antenna to your USB booster. Finally, adjust the Bolo's azimuth and elevation by eyeballing line-of-sight to the transmitting WiFi source or adjust it to the highest signal strength (number of bars).Those steps ARE REQUIRED for this antenna to operate to it's proper efficiency. Believe me, if you set it up properly, it will perform fine! I'm using mine at this moment from 1/4 mile away with the same setup as yours!-Mike

You need to combine this antenna with a wifi transceiver (usb dongle) with a removable antenna with the same type connector. The Bolo Brands is only a high-gain antenna not a stand alone wifi transceiver (transmitter-receiver). I have used this antenna to boost my wifi on my portable laptop using an external wifi transceiver by replacing the 9db rubber antenna with the Bolo Brands and significantly increased my range to hot-spot.

just like your cell phone. I personally like to use the port on my DVD player to charge it so it's with other audio stuff and I don't forget about it. I leave the USB in the port silk always and presto !!! It's set up to plug in.

Change your USB Cable! Sometimes using a data transfer cable for charging purposes can give you only USB power. I noticed sometimes also when trying to connect my phone to the PC using the charging cable, the data cannot be read or not recognized by Kies! So I'm guessing that even though they look similar there are 2 types of Micro USB cables, one optimized for charging, and the other for Data transfer. Mine did not come with a cable, so I used my own, and it works fine.

This plugs into a "PC Card" slot, or "PCMCIA" card slot, the same thing...these are on laptops only as far as I know. It converts the PC card slot into a 2 USB ports, but also requires a special very thin USB cable and converter to connect...not the standard USB connector.

Hi frank !! If your adapter has a small USB port , you just plug your regular cell phone sync / charge cable on it . Otherwise , I doesn't know another way to give a charge power to your phone. Just give it a full charge or try to get an adapter with the small USB port , like I got . I hope that was helpful . Ok ?? Have a great day !!!

As long as you have Abelton, (which is the case for me) you just plug this into a USB port and your good to go. There was no setup. I am using a Windows PC.

I connected it to my USB on my desk top and it doesn't work well at all. Appears to be a piece of junk. Bob

Its a regular usb that can plug into a computer.. what plugs into the device itself is like a headphone pin(dont know what the name of that is called lol )

I have never got this to work, or for that matter any similar devices, I now use the OTG cable and a standard USB card reader made for a PC and all is fine, to bad these all in one units do not seem to work, I have a HTC viva, a Samsung Galaxy S4 They wouldn't even acknowledge the device was plugged in, much less work.

This is an adapter from a regular USB to a micro-USB. This would be useful to be able to plug a USB flash drive for example, to a phone (with a micro USB port only), or a tablet (with micro USB port only).

Mine still works great. It did seem like it was not working as well, but just by chance, I used a different USB cable, and it still works as good now as it did when I got it a few months ago.

You need a mini usb cord. You can use the one for your phone or plug it into your pc.

mine works fine, although i have to unplug and replug into my usb port every so often but it is small and compact. not bad for the price.

I havent plugged a flash drive into it. I believe the usb on it is only for power ( thats all ive used it for and when I plug my phone in, it doesn't give me the option to access it any other way.).. its a Bluetooth radio transmitter..

I bought a plugable USB 2.0 4 port hub and charger. It didn't work as I had hoped. For keyboards, a mouse, and a flash drive I need a OTG cable. The hub charges my Nexus 7 tablet and allows my computer to swap files with it.

There's a little USB plugin piece, you have to plug that piece into the device for it to work.
