I have seen this used with a signal repeater which becomes a wireless hotspot as a solution for connecting my iPad to the internet. Anyone?

I bought it specifically for use in Rocky Point Mexico as we are often parked far from the office where the signal is strong. It works well though we have it on pcp pipe about 3 feet above our trailer. I get good service for both the i pad and lap top. A good buy!

I bought this for our RV, many of the RV parks we visit have poor signals and this keeps me inside than roaming the grounds looking for a spot where I can grab a good signal. For the money it is a great antenna and worth every penny for its function abilities.

I never tried to use it that way. Usually, it is used to make a dirty signal (irregular) a useable, stable signal. I would give it a try, if I were you. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It did for me. I had intended to insert a signal using the Ethernet cable used to bring power to the repeater but in the process of doing setup and config it captured the wireless WiFi signal from across our parking lot. Its been working that way ever since. I mounted the repeater outside in the middle of three metal buildings. I stream videos and play Pandora all evening, no problem, using only the signal amplified by the repeater from across the parking lot.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

Yes, it is. Basically it is a relay from your iPhone or iPad that uses your computer to pass the wireless signal into your wired system.

I use an Apple airport wifi adaptor and have had no problems. Works great. I get excellent network connection and stream music all day long. I really like this unit because of the iPad and iPhone apps that let me control it. Much better display and interface than the front panel.

No it makes a signal you connect to with your phone it is basically it's own hotspot

No, this is a WiFi extender/router. If you cannot get a signal, then your just out of luck. You are thinking of a 4G LTE signal booster, which can only boost an already strong 4G or 3G signal for indoor use. It's not a very portable thing either.

Yes, I've used it with an iPad and a friend of mine connected his iPod Touch to the internet with it. But 1) if you watch video through it, you'll use up the bandwidth pretty quickly, and 2) I found that running Maps on an iPad through it, it wasn't able to get my current location. Apparently, the iPad seems to use WiFi to get a location, and the hot spot doesn't give location info. Everything else seemed to work, though.

As you turn on the MediaShair, it makes its own wi-fi net. Then, you connect the iPad to that net. No third wi-fi gadget is needed.

Nooo, well... It's an Ethernet printer that connects with a cable to your network, the iPad and iPhone connect over wifi to the same network. But you need an app like Square to get it to work. Hope that helps.

I have not tried that hotspot, but I use mine with a Clear iSpot and it works great. As long as the device has an internet connection, you should be able to use it without problems, however, it will definitely use up your bandwidth fast, especially if you are streaming HD. A true router would be fine to access your devices over the network as well.

No, you can't externally connect internet to a IPAD. This only provides power to the IPAD. The Ipad connects to the Internet via wifi or cellular connections.

Yes, it works. I use this on my wifi-only ipad for off-road use and it works fantastic.

Yes. This one will act as an access point, which provide the wireless connection to your iPad in the car. I just had a 10 hour road trip. Works perfectly!

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.

No, but not repeat the answers below, I bought the ea-n66u instead to add to my rt-ac66u running in repeater mode, works great ...also the ac router works so well, I get the same speeds on my repeater mode as I do on the ac router. I am waiting for 3 -9db extra long antennas and see what kind of reception I get. I have 68 DS even get 24 to 35 Meg's on my ipad 3 using this setup...not bad at all.
