What is the insertion loss of this device? Has anyone had problems with weak signals?

Don't have any way to measure this, however I did not notice any signal loss or degradation. Internet works great. Cable works great no more humming or buzzing and horizontal lines.

None as far as I can tell (and I'm pretty much a fanatic as far as my AV equipment is concerned). We have Verizon FIOS and I use my high-end Rotel integrated amplifier and Polk Audio speakers for the sound. My experience with this device has been excellent.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

I agree with the others. Splitting the signal will reduce the strength but you can try the one to see. The product is definitely worth a try for the initial cost.

I too get a low level interference noise from my PC. Ive tried different cables and mixers, some are better than others, but I cannot make it disappear completely because all of my cables ten to "run together" around my desk. That said shielding the signal wires from stray RF is your only option, OR turn them up really LOUD. Just kidding.

I have not noticed any signal loss. I have 2 different televisions I am comparing though. One 6 ft away is a Sony 55" LCD, and the other with the 50 ft cable is an older Toshiba 42" plasma.

Sounds to me like you have a weak signal coming into your home. Get a cable technician out to your place with his meter. A weak signal is most likely the problem. Shouldn't cost you nothing.

Signal source is Antenna. I will try the optical cable. Thanks for the response.

I use it for that exact same reason. It works fine for me from about 20 feet away from the computer. I have the computer in my bedroom and the signal passes through one wall just fine. It was spotty at first but after installing the supplied "pairing software" it works like a charm.

Hello friend, if you have the chance, I suggest you search for other model and brand of equipment. I bought two of these and both have stopped working very quickly, including loss of data... Support left much to be desired... Sorry for my English...

My TV has signal strength measuring ability. I measured the before and after signal strength and there was no change so I sent it back. I have an omnidirectional antena in the attic with a 16db preamp that doesn't work very good. I'm thinking of getting a very large yagi array in the attic with a 300 to 75 ohm matching transformer. I saw one at an electronic shop in town.

I find the UPS or surge strip is usually my problem not the PC but either way it should help. I have my UPS plugged into one and that cleared up my main problem. Any type of surge protector appears to weaken the signal.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

I threw 8 of these away after 2 years because 4 of them failed. Read the reviews they are junk. My guess though is you have a poor connection. Did you use the pigtail that came with it? Is the three prong connector fully engaged, locked in? How about the wire nuts?

We have no issue at all. I have purchased two and a lenovo ThinkPad and no issues at all. Absolutely known. Maybe you need a signal booster for your location.

Not sure I sent mine back. The unit kept failing and performance wasn't that great.

my experienced was that I have an flat old tv that did no pick up signal from a pc,i swaped pc tower and also tested input of tv with dvd and my answer was probably i got a defected one,with no time to returned i just forgot about it

Mine has withstood almost 6 years of heavy use with no problems. Probably a weak cable signal, or a bad cable itself.
