Can I use this to replace the antenna on my FIOS router to improve the signal to devices at the other end of my house?

I wouldn't use over a 7dbi to send signal! Never more then a 5 to 7dbi antenna to send. Then you need to know if your connection is a RP-SMA or what before buying. If you need more help let me know I am a pro in these matters. Mike

Your verison router will work with attenna. But it is better to move it closer.

depends if it is a reverse SMA connector. I have no idea what kind of FIOS router you are using. FIOS is not a brand name for the hardware. FIOS is the name of the service.

That's exactly what I tried to use this antenna for. It didn't work for me at all.

yes you can use this antenna to improve the signal and it can significantly boost your signal about roughly 20-30 more yards than what your factory antenna can. If you house is horizontally with rooms and TV's and microwaves and other electronics interfering with the signal then expect bad signal response. I have tried it with router down stairs west wall to up stairs far east wall with chimney in the way and it still works great. my friends tap off my wireless router 3 houses down the street with 70% signal still. I would recommend this product highly. My first one I bought was defective but my second one works great. remember doesn't improve internet speed just signal. most people forget or just didn't know. Hope this helps? Review answered by Exodus {22:34}

To all when you are sending a signal never use over a 5 to 7dbi from the router if you go higher dbi the path becomes narrower. Now when you are receiving a signal you can go as high as 9 to 12dbi. Just make sure you are using good antennas. Mike

You can take item and router to Radio Shack and they will sale you an adapter. The booster antenna works great!!!!

It worked with my FIOS router. But it doesn't really help to extend the range,I ended up buying TL-WA850RE and it worked better.

If you mean will this help your mifi get a better signal from Verizon, no. This is designed to pick up wifi signals. Your mifi takes a cell phone signal and converts it to a wifi signal in your house. The frequencies are very different. This will not improve your Verizon signal. Instead you should look into Yagi antennas that are made for cell phone reception. They are made, but I don't know if you would be able to interface those antennas with a mifi unit.

Yep. In fact, that's the main reason I purchased this item.It all depends on the actual router whose signal your extending.

If u already have dual band u dont need this device. If not u can buy this and improve the signal by avoiding interfance.

I bought this device to extend my wireless router range in the house. I run multiple wireless computers through it, so I assume a wireless TV hook-up will work as well, but the TV should run off your existing router if it has the range/power. I have not attempted to hook up my TV yet (already have too much TV content).

You will need a wireless router that has removable and antennas. Unscrew one of the antennas and install the directional antenna in its place. It does not matter which antenna you choose to replace with the directional antenna. Just to let you know directionally antennas work best in pairs the best use of them is do you have one on your wireless router and then pair it with a wireless access point that has the same directional antenna. Most devices (cell phones tablets laptops) May be able to receive the Wi-Fi signal from your router they may not have enough power to send the signal back to the Wi-Fi router

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are having trouble splitting the FIOS output to many locations in your home, yes it should work. The FIOS system has to be using the coax cable in your house - not phone wires.

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.

Your options are A) move the router closer to the bedroom B) replace the antennas on the router - if they are replaceable - with larger/higher gain antennas or C) install a wifi booster. Cisco/Linksys makes one for about $30 and it works pretty well. The Unifi Long Range AP is a great device but if you go for it, I suggest turning off the wifi on your router. Otherwise, you'll be creating two different wireless networks and moving between them may be problematic.

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

Yes. That is what I use it for. I have a long antenna run from a pole on top of my chimney all the way to my basement, with two splits along the way, and had weak reception on my basement TV. I added the signal booster to the run just before the last split and it improved the signal strength on both lines.

Yes, definitely you will get great signal. Your speeds will be very similar as if you had your wireless needing device next to the router. Hopes this helps

Yep It should improve your signal ... I use it on a outdoor antenna that is 50 ft from my house.... I went from 2 stations to 25 when i hooked it up.

I think it may depend how far you are from the signals you would want to pick up. In your attic you may have an easier time directing the antenna to get the best signals. The antenna uses a conventional F connector to attach to wiring you may already have in the house.

if Fios has a IR sensor that is used for the remote then it will work. IF it is not IR and radio freq then this device will not function.
