Absolutely give it a try. It worked very well for me at a marina when I couldn't get a signal. As an added bonus, is also serves as an access point. I was able plug in my "dumb" TV to my blue-ray with a LAN cabl, hooked to my TV now I'm on the internet watching Net FLix. I don't know what the range is, but give it a try. Most places will take back products that are unsuitable. You have nothing to loss.

This unit is a wifi router. It works with wifi incoming or ethernet cable. It creates your own network like a wifi router at home. It may have better wifi reception than your laptop. You can buy a more powerfull antena . If you have the option to mount it between your computers location and the wifi signal it will work as a repeater to piggyback off of.

This would work well. Attach to a window with view of the external WiFi antenna on office. We then login all devices to the Pepwave. Works well for us in many campgrounds.

Yes we use it in our travel trailer .when you set it up excellent for wifi we are at least 150 yards away from campground Wi-Fi works like a charm

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

I'm about 30 yards away and upstairs from my router and I get full strength signal. It's fairly good. Just make sure you use the latest drivers from their website, and not the included disk. Also be sure to set your power settings such that it doesn't turn off USB to save power, and set your USB device settings for full power on your port. This will be best on a USB 3.0 port, but still gets great speed on a 2.0 port.

No. You'll get 15 to 30 feet maximum. It's just a little better than a desktop wireless keyboard and mouse.

I get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

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.

I can only say that the building that I work in has wifi. My computer is wifi accessible. The signal in my building wasn't strong enough so I bought the extender to make the weak signal stronger and it worked.

I use in an office setting. The farthest I have used it is about 20 feet and that distance was good reception.

I would go with the more expensive boosters for basement applications. I am on the first floor and have it mounted to the top of a window next to my desk. Signal strength goes from one bar to four most of the time. They have a unit that is mounted to the roof and boosts the signal for everywhere in the house. It was about $150 last time I checked, and it was well rated.

From my experience I found the speed and bandwidth fine over long distance, videos and streaming worked great. As long as that 1000 ft is clear line of sight, no trees or walls in the way the hub itself and your laptop/pc should have strong enough signal connection. If obstacles are in the way you may need a 2nd hub to repeat the signal. Best.

My router is in to floor of my house and I'm using this on a desktop in the basement. I get 4 bars out of 5 signal strength. I would say it's about 50 to 60 feet distance between the two. Haven't tried any other distance

My husband has ours in an office on one side of our home. Our home is about 50 feet across by 40 feet deep, with a fireplace located in the middle of the home.My Macbook connects to WiFi throughout the home, with the only problems being a storm cellar with reinforced concrete walls and part of the kitchen that has signal blocked by the fireplace. It doesn't matter if I'm connecting to 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi, both signals drop in those areas.Our iPhones also stay connected around 100 feet from the home when we're outside on the office side of the home, but tend to drop on the opposite side of the home.

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.

You will get better reception. Mine is working fine in the middle of the room. You can also buy more cable to get it closer to a window.

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.

You should get signal within 100 yards,. but 150 might have signal loss or weak connection...

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.
