My daughter lives in a mobile home around 1000 ft away. What product do I need to buy so she can pick up my wifi? Thanks!

You'll more than likely have to hook it to an outdoor antenna. I use mine in my shop, it's a metal building, mobile home will be the same. I get my signal from the house...about 300 feet, works great, full signal with outdoor antenna. I also pick up signals from neighbor close to 1/2 mile away.

HELLO DAN HERE of personal reference i can pick up the baptest church at least 1000 feet away with at least 3 or 4 bars of strongth. Thay do make directional antennas that will pick up at distence. best to call ALFA AT 855 435 7221 FOR ACCURAT INFORMATION. ROCK ON DAN.

If I'm reading your question correctly you need a wifi router or a hot spot piece. You can not cord connect it to the internet. Hope this helps.

Yes! Significantly I might add... The main issue is the interfacing to a 2.4GHz source... Most items don't have a connector to plug into... I believe the FCC has something to do with this! Solve that,,, and you can do Wifi perhaps at 1000 feet or so in one specific direction... So my main point is you must have a detachable antenna on the targeted device you wish to boost the dB's with... "Got it!" This Amt. use SMA Screw type-of miniature connectors... The other being snap-on... I will add that this style of SM_'s is the best of this family! So start looking for an matching adapter for all else...

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

Yes, it does work, I am hooked to it right now, or I couldn't pick up wifi. We live in RV resorts that only offer wifi and if u aren't really close to the signal, forget it. I have been hooked to mine now for 3 years. Don't expect really long distances, but a decent range on this thing for sure. Order a longer cord, so you can move it around inside or set it outside. Really have loved mine!!

This is not a wifi device, it is a bluetooth device. I have never heard of a range extender for bluetooth devices, but they may exist.

Well, All you need is a usb on your tablet to plug in the antenna. On our boat, I have a Samsung Chromebook - once it's plugged in the amount of available wi-fi sites double, and once on the water I am picking up wi-fi from close to a mile away! So it for sure extends the range of what you can pick up, it does for me.

It seems your original question has been answered. Just wanted to mention that if you go with the range extender, make sure that somewhere in the room you place it gets decent signal strength. The extender needs to show 2 bars at least to make a decent connection, otherwise the WiFi it provides will be poor. Another option you may want to consider it the TP-Link TL-WPA4220Kit. It will provide for wired connections and also serve as a range extender, but not be limited to the range of your current WiFi signal.

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.

Well I'm not sure. We have wifi set up in our home but I don't think the product needs it to function properly.

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?

No, you would need to attach it directly to the modem, but you should be able to pick up the signal 1000 ft. away as long as there are not any major obstructions between you and it - rock or stone walls, metal siding, etc.

You just need a good signal from your carrier outside. Make sure you place in a central location inside. Works great. No internet required.

There is no such thing as a straight shot when wifi is involved. Range depends on a homes construction. If you want range this is not the item for you. Find a unit that has an external antenna. Even with an external antenna you would require a strong signal that is no more than 100 feet away for data transfer to work fluidly (without dropouts).

it is a wireless router, which should provide you with wifi for a reasonable distance,depending on the terrain and/or construction of your premises. for extended range there is a seperate product, called appropriately a wifi range extender

This is all you'll need for your RV. The only thing is that your phone needs to sit in the cradle for the boost. If you want to be able to walk around and talk. You need the rebroadcasting wireless amp. It's another 100 bucks.

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver. It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.
