Can I use this remotely? In other words, I want to receive a wifi signal over the air, amplifie the signal and then run a cable into my metal barn.

I cannot answer your question 100%, but I can tell you that this device is a simple wireless signal amplifier. If you attach it to an antennae, it will boost the signal output and purportedly increase the range of reception of that same antennae.

Not with this thing, mine didn't work at all. Got a full refund from Amazon.

Yes, this is the whole point. As long as your outlets are connected to the same main circuit (they should be), you can transport the signal anywhere at home.

Yes I think you should be able to. I have cat 5 from my cable modem to it and run wireless off of it throughout my business, and I run my wireless security cams through it.

Might be able to do that, I returned the unit because it was not wireless, never used it.

You can configure it as an open device and select the signal you want to replicate. It doesn't do this automatically

Yes, you can use it via usb tethering. And this is responsible for distributing the signal for wifi

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.

It would mount outside of your building on a pole (unit comes with mount but not pole) point it in direction of where you want signal. Run cable indoors to poe injector (included). Then another cable goes from injector to your router / modem / Internet . Program and enjoy 100% signal.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

In theory yes. I bought one of these and wss able to set it up excep it wouldn't broadcast a wireless signal. You should look for a different product!!!!!

From a mobile device connected to your network. I have not been able to get it to work from a remote location but it will work when set up correctly

You can use it as a repeater if it is connected to a computer that already has internet access. Here is a tutorial i found for setting it up on a windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gg0hsWN7uAOne caveat to doing it this way is that it will only be transmitting a signal if the computer is on. Another option is if you have an old wireless router lying around, that can also be used as a repeater. Hope this helps!

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver. It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

I can receive a signal in my house. There's no connection I can see for an external antenna.

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

I imagine you could, i use mine as a weather station 'forwarder' if you will, and it sends the weather station data to my main router. You will have to fiddle with the settings or flash a different firmware to it. I'ts pretty cheap, and worth experimenting with. good luck

You would have to be within range of router. there is an initial setup that is easy but requires you to plug it into the router.
