Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

I too live in a semi rural area, closest neighbor is about 150 yards away, I can get full signal on his wireless router. If you run Linux you can increase the power and it will go even further.

Version 1.0 comes with a nice antenna. The issue is that the WiFi module in Version 1 uses is an old WiFi module from Microchip that supports WiFi A&B but not G (i.e. is limited and old). The WiFi A & B protocols are old standards and many modern (even 4+ year old) routers/AP don't support those protocols well (or in some cases at all). Version 2.0 uses a newer WiFi module that supports the G standard along with a few more enhancements.

Upstream connection hasn't been made most likely. Documentation is weak. So Google for a how-to for this router. Its far better

Julie, that is why I installed the product. With a metal roof, I had no signal. This is supposed to extend/boost the signal. After I had mine installed, I have signal in my basement! Now there was an app " Open Signal" that I used to find where to install the antenna to get the best strength. So, I would say he didn't install it correctly. Mine works well and so does my sons and one of my clients installed his in a shop with a metal roof to get a signal. Have him come back to install properly!

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

aluminum siding (or foil sheathed insulation board, or a metal trailer) turns your house into a Faraday cage... RF cannotget in or out, except thru holes (windows, etc) -- so you can only use an indoor antenna if you put it near a windowfacing toward the antenna's you need to pick up from. Good luck.. problem I have with my condo... hard to get aroundit, and I can't put an antenna outside, which is the best solution.

I can't remember but I finally broke down and just pay for wifi internet now. That antenna didn't work very well and it really sucked because I had to constantly "point" it and readjust it. If you're buying it for an RV or something it may work well if you have a clear path to the signal. I live on the water so i had clear path and it still didn't work that great

I often install these and own EliteSmartHome.com. We do many security install a year with the vista 20. It does not support RF right out of the box. You would need to add a wireless receiver.

Better than average, but as with all things this depends on how thick the wall is, is the wall reinforced with rebar, etc. It will certainly do a lot better than your standard WiFi hardware, especially if you crank the power up. If that's not enough, replace one or both antennas with directional antennas that focus the signal in the direction you need...

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

it will improve if configured correctly. My modem and the repeater shared the same home web address so it was awkward to configure following directions but it seems to be working now that I added it to my trendnet wi-fi routers page.

Not enuff info, camera inside? monitor in same building or other? U will likely need two antennas, probably not as powerful as airgrid.

you would need 3 boosters 1 for each, no kind of splitter that I know off. would work really good! would add bigger antennnas too! or get a different router with 1 removable ext antenna instead of 3?

Paul, I was trying to get full wifi out to my backyard which is only about 50' away, but my problem is I have steel siding on my house instead of wood or vinyl .So I positioned the extender at the nearest wall socket to my sliding glass door to to the back yard as to reflect thru the glass and not my siding. This worked, I didn't have all bars showing but I had the wifi ok. Your standard wifi router (N) should get you at least that far without the extender, standard structure house wood of vinyl siding of course

correct, you bought the wrong product! you should search for "wifi booster" GOOD LUCK
