Can I expect strong signal to most areas of home (from 2nd floor to 1st, eg.)? I have that now w/Cisco 4200

Don't expect a good signal going by their maps! I get no signal without an antenna even in green coverage areas.

Hi Geri,this unit is self contained, completely portable. the signal in la California is adequate with no drop outs.go to there coverage map to see if ur area is covered. anyways u can return it if ur not happy with it.amazon dosent play around :)

The device manual says that it can transmit up to 150 feet distance. It is always best to have the device near the wireless receiver, if possible. It should be able to send across several floors as long as the signal doesn't get obstructed. I believe your distance from the tower to the device will play a bigger role in signal strength than from the device to the wireless receiver. You can also connect an external antenna to the device if it cannot get a good signal from a tower.

if you have weak signal bring the device to a window or you can buy a special antenna

Yup I never had an issue with mine. I live in a two story apartment, router upstairs and pc downstairs. I get 4-5 bars of signal strength all the time

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

All I can say is that I have two of these and in each room they get different channels. I don't get all that one does in the other room. Being in a basement, The signal may be a bit weak. Best that I can answer.

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.

I'm using mine with a new Linksys AC router. I wouldn't count on across the street. Just took my Ipad outside and got to the middle of the street where I lost the signal. Depends on how many walls the signal has to go thru. As far as inside the house, it amplifies the signal wonderfully. I get great streaming on my laptop and on my TV, especially on the 5GHz channel. Much better than the el cheapo Netgear range extender I replaced.

it would depend on what the signal is going through. But lets just say this device is stronger than your normal wifi router by 2X. You wont be disappointed!

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

I had a a two story apartment, and I was able to get the connection upstairs and downstairs just as well. I never had an issue with it.

Not sure. Mine is about 30 feet from my router and I have an old house with thick plaster walls so signal strength as always a problem. My adapter has to go through two rooms about 30 feet from the router and I get a decent ignal, about 2 out of 3 bars strength. Was hoping for better but it works good enough for me. Super easy install too. True plug and play.

Hi Paul, it really depends on the placement of the extender. I put mine about halfway in between my room and my router (which are opposite sides of the house) and I get full bars everywhere now. Just keep in mind that "clear shots" provide the best signal (that is line-of-sight between the router)

It depends on what you mean when you say the "signal gets shoddy." I was unable to connect except on one spot on my fourth floor (with the main connection on the second floor). There was only one spot where I could get almost-consistent signal quality on the fourth floor until I got the Netgear WN3000RP, which I placed in that "sweet spot." I still have the rare dropout and I mean rare. My advice? Unless your signal is just completely lousy, try it. You can always return it.

It depends on the layout - walls (brick, drywall etc) It gets good signal over a distance of 70+ feet through 5 walls (In terms of range that wold have you covered in a 5,000 sqft house). If you have a steel pillar in its direct range, it gets no signal even at 10 feet, but that is expected of any router.

Yes. I have this router in my basement, and the WiFi connection reaches to my second story. Remember that the radio signal points out of the side of an antennae like a doughnut, so I have one antennae pointed horizontally so its wifi signal points upward. And the other two antennas are pointed in two other random directions.

Yes most definitely! I also live in a two story house with my bedroom upstairs and modem downstairs, and i get full signal in my bedroom, so no issues there!

The range is adequate. I have it connected to my PC in the basement, and router is on the 1st floor of my house. The signal is strong and I've never lost connection.
