yep sure will as long as there are no obstructions in the way it should be fine. i have three on my yard covering about 1/2 mile

It is possible if you have very few things in the way. You may need a 1/2 watt or 1 watt power booster. If you have to Hawking antennas aimed at each other it should increase your range. Be sure to check on speed to make sure the connection works correctly. Sometimes you can have a good link and no speed.

I bought two of these and set one up as an AP and the other as a Client. They work great to get a signal to a shed 500 ft from my home. My AP is wired, but there is a setting that allows the AP to be used wirelessly.

Not likely. It has good range but 200ft is pushing the limit by about 100 ft. Then concrete walls would make the signal weaker. I have a 1600 sqft house and it barely covers the property with a consistent strong signal.

WiFi is "line of sight," and with these devices you can go considerably farther than 3,000 feet. If you can see (with your eyes, not electronically) your target location from your source location, it is very likely you can set up a connection using two of these devices. I live in a canyon, and I put one of these on a hill about 3,375 feet away and my WiFi detector "heard" it with around 35 dB. A second one of these devices on that hill sends the signal back down into the canyon floor 2,144 feet farther away. I also get a strong signal over two miles away.

500 feet? I seriously doubt it. It's designed to be in the same room as the light source. The switch doesn't even have a power source of its own. It uses the energy from pressing the button to transmit the signal, so I don't think this has the range you're long for.

Don't think so...but the antenna that comes with the device picks up the router signal quite well, 50 feet away and the signal is still good.

I would say no. I purchased this for a friend who lives a 1.4 mile away from a public host spot and it would Only work a few houses down.

It does not extend your range at all. It must be within, and is subject to, your existing wifi network.

It can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.

If you can locate the range extender at the extreme end of your modem range and use only a single band (2.5ghz) it may just work. In my application my modem goes through 2 walls about 20 ft from the extender and my wifi devices are about 25ft further. Hope that helps.

No. You'd need some way to do a coffee can repeater, probably a wireless range extender would work, plus an empty aluminum coffee can around each antenna pointed at each other ("laser pointer pointed thru a hole in 1 does wonders on this") to extend the signal range to get that sort of distance at the outside wall. A router could do it, but it's unnecessary. You'd be very unlikely to penetrate a wall then get 500' of range on a standard household router though.

No. This product is not a range extender. It is used to convert a computer without the AC protocol to AC. The problem is probably with your router

your range, of course, is as far as your circuitry goes in the dwelling. I image you're trying to extend your range outside of the dwelling. I do not, however, have any knowledge of an extender working but I do know that another hub will work when hung off of one of them. That being the case, my impression would be that thestextender would work. I'm interested if it will. Let me know...

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful

A repeater such as this would work, but if you do not require a repeater to be mounted outside, you're may be overpaying. Thirty feet is not a great distance for a wifi router. Perhaps locating the router higher in your brothers house would be helpful in increasing the signal strength to yours. This Hawking exterior repeater is very good, but is meant to be used outdoors and you pay for that feature.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.
