I can't get a signal inside my apt. Do you think this would work if it's on the outside of a window?

Maybe. Try putting it somewhere it has a clear southern view, that's where the satellites are located. Also you can try putting it on your roof if possible.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!

You need an outside antenna or a good window for the regular antenna that comes with the unit. It must have a southern view. I needed to do that at 2 locations in on my property. As long as you have the antennas set up with a good southern view of the sky, you should be able to get a good signal.

It was originally designed for a vehicle but just like a vehicle, the wiring goes inside the vehicle and the rounded unit goes on the exterior. The same for the home mounting, your wiring to the radio would be inside the window and the exterior rounded part on the outside. The interior induction plate has to be lined up with the outside part, follow the instructions that came with it, except adapt for a home window. Depending where you live, the satellite signals are at different angles in the sky. Try some good strong tape on the outside before gluing down permanently. Good Luck.

As long as your window is facing south. Other than that, I don't know what else except something on the roof?

I mounted my inside receiver to the jamb of window facing outside unit that I mounted inside of the bird box sold separately. My unit works lide a charm. I do not know about signal going through metal wall . I would not take anything for my unit. I would stilll give it a 5 star. Wife especially loves the Dakota alert she know knows when anyone is coming up drive. Cliff

It will strengthen the signal that you are distributing through you house. I do not know how well it will work in your situation, but it should make marginal signals better..

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.

Well if it is not reading signals you are probably not close enough. The range is horrible on this thing. With that being said make sure you are searching from within the program they installed on your comp

If it is a matter of not having signal inside the house, the device will definitely help. The antena should be placed on the outside on high ground, it will pick it up and repeat it down. If signal in general is poor in the area, even in high ground, it might not make the trick. Write to the manufacturer, their customer service is great. It doesn't need to talk to any other devices.

I have put my DSL on it. I was nervous about it but it did work. And this was inside too. If you use it outside I'm sure the wind would blow it around.

I just tried this with antennas from a dual-band router. I got a 20-25% drop in signal, but it still worked fine. It is important to note however that my desktop is a true desktop i.e. it is located on my desk's surface, and not the floor.

I would get an antenna that you can string outdoors and then come into through a window with it.I did get some shortwave by just stringing the supplied wire antenna inside the house.

It will work as an access point. Depending on the landscape though, you may not get signal. If suggest visiting the forums at ubnt.com.

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

Could be a close by signal from another device. Use DIP switches on unit and on button to change settings. I installed this one due to the light. It helped the deaf tenant.

Try placing it in another location. It may not be getting the signal where you have it.

maybe.but I live on the 13th floor.This product works best when you have an unobstructed,view and are within 25 miles of the signal antenna.I do meet all of these criteria and I am very happy

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

It depends on how close you are to the tv station antennas. If you are in an urban setting you might have good luck , maybe an attic antenna would work . To test , try rabbit ears in a window , it you get signals then , you will be pleased with this antenna placed outside.

I have never mounted it out doors. I have always had it mounted by a window indoors. You will need a signal amplifier with this. I recommend the Alfa AWUS036NH 802.11n 2000mW WIRELESS-N USB adapter.
