I will have to place it in the middle floor of a 3 stories house of 1000sqft each floor. is it going to have a good signal in the lower level?

Hello fra. The range claims on the box/website are based on our performance test results and are used more as a reference and not a guarantee.There are many factors that negatively affect wireless performance, such as your environment, interference, network conditions and wireless obstructions.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

Yes, it provides the same signal just to an area the you are having difficulty getting a signal. What you have is what you get! It just moves it to a location that you didn't have it.

I love this unit after having purchase 4 of them, but I can't say it help with a better signal.

Good possibility . My installation is not in the woods but I am picking up signals from that distance from some of my neighbors. I am in the country but it is open and flat. If you can get any signal this will boost it .

I have a 3 level house and Have the base unit on the top floor and the satalite phones on each other floor. No Problems.

That might depend on the construction of the building. Concrete floors and walls are more formidable than wood. That being said, you may see some improvement in the signal, but not the same level that you will experience when on the same floor. There is an internal booster available for an additional charge.

I mounted it on the ceiling and it penetrated to the second floor with good signal. I love mine. The middle floor would be the best because it would penetrate upper and lower. BTW remember you need a POE Injector unless you have a POE Switch.

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

No...it will not pick up and boost the signal. I am only 3 miles from the tower with a small ridge between us and it won't boost the signal.

My guess is yes, but only if where you live there are strong signals. You will need to move the antenna around the room to find a good location.

Honestly, it depends. Im leaning towards no, or low signal. I bought this to use in my university's club, which is in the basement ( surrounded by concrete, pipes, heavy flooring etc.). It can reach some wifi a floor or 2 above (some PS3s, and weird mobile wifis), but it cant reach the normal campus wifi. If you mean standard apartment/house floors, i'd say probably. Its not at all a bad router, but its also not a DC outlet, power hungry, giant radio receiver or anything. So.. i dont actually have a definite answer for you, other than "possibly", leaning slightly towards "probably". Honestly, it depends. Im leaning towards no, or low signal.

I think the closer that you get it to the window is the best. Mine is near the front of the house, street side, and I placed it above my window. The signal will travel through the sheet rock. It works great. I don't think the metal roof will matter much, infact it might enhance the signal. When I placed the signal on top if the entertainment center the signal was not as strong as it was by the window!

So i can place this thing in a different bedroom in the house with a not so good connection, and the signal overlap should give it a strong connection and signal, yes?

You can try to get a good enough signal by keeping it by the tv which is possible if you're right in the city on a top floor of a building. If that works, great! But if it doesn't, you'll need to put it by the window and trail the cord. Luckily, the cord should be long enough. Mine is about 4 feet away and I have the cord going up to the ceiling and then down to the window so we're not walking over it.

They recommend pointing towards the towers. I have had it in different positions and did a channel scan and did not notice a difference. I have noticed the higher it is placed the better. I get 47 channels on the main level of my house and 74 channels on the upper level. I'm going to put it in my attic.
