I have a smart TV up stairs the WiFi link is just 3 bars can I use this on my TV to increase signal strength?

If you wanted to plug this in to your tv, it would have to support the powerlink driver, which TVs are incapable of doing right now.

Yes. I bought this to extend a wifi signal that has a login page to gain access.

If you can see a signal now, this will almost certainly improve it. If you can't see his signal at all, this may not help. I have a small shop that is across the road from my house. The total distance is only about 150' but the signal has to pass through 5 walls and a tree line. With my laptop at the door of the shop, I could get a signal strength of 1 bar. With the Alpha plugged into a USB port on the laptop, I can move it to the back of the shop and I still have a signal strength of 4 bars.

Yes you should, but it really depends on the construction of your home and how "WiFi unfriendly" it is. If you have standard wooden floors than it shouldn't be a problem, but if you have something like concrete (as an example), this is very bad for WiFi signals.

A wireless apt like belkin N150 or wet11 the wet11 can be connected to a different antenna if you have a weak signal

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

I have not done that personally because with a signal booster I can pick up everything there is available to me where I live, raising the antenna higher up was all I needed to do. I do know someone that did what you are talking about, was the only way he could pick up the FOX network, and it worked out great for him, no signal boost needed and he picked up even a few more other channels

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

That's exactly what Wi-Fi repeaters were invented to do. This one can do it to a point, like all repeaters. If it can get and keep a signal, then it can boost it. Keep in mind that it doesn't have any external antennas so don't expect miracles. "Weak" will have limitations. If you have room, you might want to get a full sized repeater with antennas depending on how weak the signals you plan on boosting.

We have this at the ranch to increase cell phone and wireless signals. Prior to installing this unit we would only get 1 or 2 bars for signal strength. Now we get 4 or 5 bars and no signal issues. To answer your question at any given time there are 5-6 devices using the Wilson Unit with no issues. We had a BBQ at the ranch and had 20-25 cell/smart phones operating on the signal with no complaints.

It will only increase your internet signal connection so if your internet was slow because of weak signal it may help but if your deivce/internet it self is slow it will remain the same

This isn't an antenna of some sort. It's like a wired connection without 1 big wire going through the house. This will allow something with an ethernet port to gain Internet connection as if connected straight to the router. But it will not boost your connection throughout the house

I don't see how it could do anything but improve your signal. Works great on the antenna I have put in my attic.

It's a wifi tv set. However, if you have your modem near tv it would be better to hook it with a lan wire in order to maintain signal strength. That's what I did with mine. &#128522;

As long as there is an opening in the room where you place the unit, the signal should freely go through your house. To get the strongest signal in your situation, you may want to leave the door open to another room where you are taking advantage of the wireless signal. But the unit delivers a clear signal throughout my house and even outdoors for that matter. I have had no issues with signal strength in using mine, and the unit is an easy set-up with the software CD to manage your network.

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

it would depend on what the signal is going through. But lets just say this device is stronger than your normal wifi router by 2X. You wont be disappointed!
