We have a Samsung Network Extender (SCS-2U01), so it is our cell tower. Does it extend the cell antenna on that mini tower?

Yes, this will extend the range of the SCS-2U01, especially if pointed in an area of your house or yard where coverage from the SCS-2U01 is weak.

There are 2 aspects to this. The GPS signal the extender needs from the outside and the internal "cellular" signal the extender puts out. As far as the GPS signal, if you can place the extender in a window that isn't obstructed by a lot of trees or buildings outside then you should have no problem getting a good GPS signal. If it is impossible to get the extender near a window you can buy the external GPS antenna which allows you to place extender in one place and run the antenna up to the window. With regards to the "cell" signal the extender puts out, a lot depends on the structure inside the building. If the steel building is mostly open with a few walls inside then you should get decent coverage. If there a decent amount of metal walls, a few block concrete walls and/or many wood frame walls then they all can cut down on the signal strength inside your building that your phones need to operate.

Hi Chris,Two suggestions to your inquiry.It is possible your cellular company provider may have a signal extender unit that can be placed in the basement location of the Pit Boss, like a cable router.If not, then the only other option is running the wire upstairs were you have good signal strength. This may require you to purchase additional wire. I would take the whole unit with you and explain your situation to the departments electrical staff. They may suggest either the same size wire or a slightly thicker wire based on the wire length needed. I hope this helps, good luck.

It does. I used it for about a week. Looks good, but it ruined my reception. Don't buy unless your next to a tower all the time.

If the iPhone is a Verizon Wireless one, then yes. The extender is independent of the phone model. It puts out a 3G (not 4G) signal that is the same as if a Verizon Wireless cell tower were sitting right in your home. If you have a phone (including an iPhone) that would work on a Verizon Cell Tower, then it will work with the extender as well.

I did not have to extend the antenna cables. they were already long enough on my Dell D630 laptop. I had replaced the previous 802.11abg NIC withe the n NIC and simply connected the cables. This adaptor worked like it was original to the unit. It does its job. I installed it, closed up the unit, and never needed to re-open it for any reason. That was over a year ago. Best upgrade I've made.

I think the antenna type makes a difference. I have an internet booster on my main floor with an antenna and it does nothing for my phone. I also have 3 different cell boost antenna's throughout my house and 2 of them work, one doesn't except in the small room it is in. I am no expert so I don't want to give you the wrong information, but in my research, the cell antenna booster pulls the signal boost strength from the cell tower, whereas the tv antenna would pull the boost strength from the tv tower. I hope this helps.

As the others have said, the antenna cable is about 2meters; adding an extension will likely attenuate the signal. I had an LG Chocolate Touch and wanted to improve the data throughput, and this device didn't seem to help that much.

No. My understanding is that the antenna's purpose is to allow placement where it can capture the GPS signal that the Microcell needs to handle 911 emergency calls. The Microcell is designed not to function without that signal. The antenna will not extend phone coverage beyond what you would get from a functional Microcell without the antenna. My Microcell gives me coverage for about 20 feet outside the house.

No you have to buy the micro cell tower from AT&T; then this plugs in to get more range for the tower!

I dont know, i thought i was ordering a wifi repeater but got an access point and i did not see a place to hook the external antenna to the unit.

There is nothing in the instructions about repeater/extender. THis antenna increases he range of wifis you can receive on the computer. It uses a usb to connect. Maybe you can ask at the official web site: ccrane.com.

No I don't think it will. I had difficulty getting it to extend my Wifi. It's only as good as the signal it gets from the other router. I sent it back.

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

I have purchased 2 different styles of the Wilson Cell phone signal extenders. They both work very well. We put one in my husband's shop building, and he has not had a dropped call since. We are in a funny spot where you can have 4 bars in one spot, walk 2 feet and have only one bar of signal. Both of the units I have are operating in the United States. I guess I don't know if cell towers are different in diferent countries. If the technology is pretty much the same, the you should have a good result as long as you can get at least one bar of signal where you live.

It's on the top. It says "OPEN" with an arrow. There's a compartment in there where you plug in the GPS. The compartment is on the antenna end right above the Samsung logo. I didn't need to use the GPS cable, so can't tell you whether or not it works. My GPS worked without the cable. I put the network extender on a window ledge facing east.

I don't know. However, without using the extender, I have solid communication on my boat dock over 150 feet from the base station... so I never installed the extender.
