Should the extender be placed close the base unit, or nearer the extension you are trying to boost?

I put the booster as far away from the base unit as it would still pick up the signal. It has a green light that let's you know that the booster is in range of the base and is getting a good signal , that extends the distance from the base you can get a signal, there is a yellow light that lights up if the signal is weak. So to answer your question, half way between them or as far away from the base as you can and still get a green light.

The extender should be place about mid way between the base and the extension.

I don't use the extenders. My fan fits in the window casement so I leave the window screen in place. Very simple solution.

No. It will not. There is no room at the base the 70-300 for the extender to fit into.

Yes, it appears as an -ext. If it did not then it would nor be an extender.

you can use the socket that would be above or below however if you have a muliti pronged "cheater" socket, then it will take up a socket that would be beside the unit. it is fat and it is designed to be streamelined on one plane so it does not eat up the socket below. you don't have a choice which socket to use because it is polarity priority, becasue of the fatter prong that grounds it. hope this makes sense.

My guess is probably not. You have to be in an area where you can at least pull in some signal strength without it. If you can pull in one bar signal strength without it, the extender could boost it up to five bars. If you have zero bars, you're S.O.L.

Yep that is what we use. But it is less portable when hooked up, obviously. Just don't forget to get the extender hose.

This is an extension that goes between the base and the antenna. Giving you an extra 50FT between them. It has a booster built it so no signal loss. You use the antenna that came with the original unit.

Screw in place between the inbound dish or cable lead and your gone splitter or modem. Closer to the inbound cable source better chance it can catch a surge before it hits something

I get mine close to the sides of the inside opening then turn one end til it fits tight. I've got several up and having no problem at all.

I have this unit, and my understanding of this unit is that it will repeat the signal it receives, extending the coverage area of the signal. If the signal from the router is weak, the extended signal will also be weak. If this range extender could be placed on a higher floor, in an area of the building where there is a strong signal, it could then give you a better signal in the basement.

I extended the base and it maxes out at about 3.5 inches. It looks like this will not work for you.

You are correct about it being a bit high. I'm not aware of an extension. The manufacturer may have one. I haven't felt the need to see if there is one.

Yes you will need a seperate extender. With the exception if your TV BOX Remote runs over radio instead of IR-Signals. Then the distance shouldnt be a problem. IR is only good for a couple of meters.

I'm not aware of a range extender. I had the same thought as given in the previous answer, install the base unit on the first floor. Or, try moving the base unit to a different place in the basement.

I found that having the base on one end of the house and the extender on the other end gave me better range all around our large yard. Range is affected by metal siding or aluminum coated sheathing under the siding. Any type of radio signal would be substantially reduced by those factors.

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)
