Can I use my routers WIFI AND have my signal boosted at the same time? So I can make clear phone calls and surf the web on my own WIFI?

...In theory. Here's the deal. I'm sitting here right now using my wifi. The microcell is in the window, pointed at the sky, receiving a great signal, looking flashy...but I never would have got this email if I hadn't 1.) checked my mail to notice that the Mcell was messing with my signal so I could turn it off...reset it three times...and 2.) turned my wifi back on to refresh my mail. This thing is junk. End of story. If it sold for $30 I wouldn't complain so much. It's the only option I have for a signal. And when it works, it works well enough. But I miss calls all the time. I miss email and text all the time. Look for another option and don't get disappointed by this thing. ...In theory. Here's the deal. I'm sitting here right now using my wifi.

...sorry. In complaining I realized I didn't answer your question. Yes...when it works, you can surf and talk...but you may drop your call or your signal. ...it's very frustrating.

Yes, it is possible to have the phone use the microcell to make phone calls while using your own ISP and wifi router to surf and talk at the same time.

Joseph, absolutely! I have wifi and I am able to be on a call and still use the web on several devices actually. The better your speed, the better the connection, but I have never really had a problem with that. I will also say the mircocell tends to be more aware of your devices the longer you have them. And at least in my own experience, droid devices actually do better than apple devices. But it's not a huge difference, just slightly.

Only if the router has an external screw-in antenna. The cable from the booster has to screw into the antenna socket on the router.

Short answer is YES. Set the SSID of the access point to the same as the SSID of your existing router. Then as you move about the house with whatever PC you're using you should automatically connect to the one with the best signal.

Yes it should be! Once you have a wifi signal on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency it will pick up your signal clear as ever! Router brands make little difference!

The extender would pair with one wireless router. It won't be able to boost signal from 2 wireless routers.

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

you could, but it will have to much signal lost. maybe if you put the antenna by the router your getting the signal off.

Yes it can, but it requires some configuration. You must have your other centralized router setup to permit external repeaters to rebroadcast the wifi signal. Once configured, this unit can repeat that wifi signal when configured in "repeater" mode. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the web based configuration for this unit has good help to get you going with each step. Alternatively, you can configure this access point to work in a "bridged" mode, but ensure that it works on the same wifi channel as your centralized router (don't choose "Auto" for your channel on both devices) and same wifi network name, to permit users to connect to either device on the same channel. End user devices will latch on automatically to the strongest signal on the same channel in that configuration, allowing seamless "roaming" for each user.

Clarifying, this will only transmit the internet speed that you have, it will not boost it, but as far as your signal reliability it's much reliable then wi-fi meaning you will have internet connection in areas where wi-fi does not reach. Hope this helps

yes, however!!! this device will only boost up your signal strength for phone calls, NOT THE INTERNET signal. 2 different things.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

No. The router supplies an ethernet signal, NOT a phone signal. This cable is used to transport an existing analog phone signal over an 8 pair Ethernet cable. It will not change the type of signal coming from your router.

The Asus WL-ANT-157 will improve the 2.4 GHZ signal coverage. How ever it will NOT boost your signal. To boost your signal you need to buy better quality router-any brand! And of course high speed high cost optic fiber will improve the speed.

Nichole, This is device is WiFi Booster. It makes your internet signal stronger thus expanding the area of coverage. This device has nothing to do with your wireless or mobile service (i.e. voice calls). The main purpose of this device is to increase your internet signal so you can use it throughout your house or apartment. For instance, if you use your mobile phone to access the internet and you have a weak internet signal as a result of a distance then this device is for you since it will increase the distance of your in home internet coverage. Also, if you use your verizon service to make calls through the internet then the answer is yes, it should expand your area of coverage and consequently boost you verizon signal, but that's only if you use your phone to make calls over the internet. This device is only to boost internet signal on your mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, tablet, notebook, etc.) and not the regular phone signal.

I am able to utilize 4SIphone Wifi at home with this router; so I believe it is combined.

Im sure you can.. the only bad thing is that i have been experiencing a loose connection... the signal gets .. other than that is pretty good. I mean for the peice i think is ok.
