My garage is about 60 feet from router and needs stronger signal. I have 2 bars in garage. Will one of these work for phones and laptop in garage?

Hard to say for sure, but in our house we have 1 room that gets 2 bars the the built in WiFi adapter - with the Alfa we get 4 bars. Seems to me like it's definitely worth a shot!

This requires a usb connection so I don't think it will work with your phones. When using my laptop with this I generally see at least 50% more available wifi networks than when I use my laptop's built in wifi card.

In my opinion from past experience the antenna will help you get more bars for your lap-top. However I don't know about the phones.

It will work for the laptop, but not the phone. (Unless the phone has a full sized usb port and an os that supports the device chipset.) Perhaps a wifi repeater or range extender would be a better choice ?

I do not recommend this product for your business. Since its signal strength is determined by the outlet it is plugged into, any other items plugged in to your electrical outlets between you and the warehouse will affect the signal. I recommend a multi-channel 2 Way radio.

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.

Yes thats exactly what I'am using it for. A desk top tapping into a friends wifi 300 to 400 feet away getting 3 to 4 bars on it. got an extwnsion usb to mount it hi in the room. but for in house it works great through 2 floors 4 to 5 bars. I'm using it with windows xp

I really don't know, but in our house, we have a terrible reception problem and this unit seems to help. We have it in a corner on our sec ond floor and I can use my iPad and netbook downstairs back in our kitchen. I have no reception in the rear of the house, but that isn't an issue, because I don't use my devices in that area. Our house is a very tall home and the distance from the Belkin to my use area would be 70 feet. Right now I have 2 bars and the netbook works fine in this area and I am almost in the "dead zone". Don't know if this helps or not.

This is not for a stronger signal but the band or type of wifi. If you computer does not get N. The regular bear is for a weak signal. Works on OS X.

It depends on your situation. If you need more range outside the house, or perhaps in a house with metal lathe and plaster that cuts down the signal range it will help. I set mine up 1/2 way between the barn & the house on the well house, & I now have several hundred feet of range.

It will mostly depend on your landlord's router. With a good one it should just reach. For anything that far though, I recommend setting up a wireless repeater.

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.

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.

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.

router has no strong output signal I don't use it any more ,it is not the range that count ,if you have to much metal in the wall or floor, your signal can't go through.

Really, these repeaters work best if they are halfway between the original wireless router/access-point and the client device.If you put it in the workshop, it may not pick up the router any better than your PC.If you put it in your house, it may not be any stronger than the original router.My 2c would be to install it in/very close to a window facing your workshop.That way, it will hve a strong signal from the router, and will present the best possible signal toward the workshop.

There are several things you can do to get better signal. The higher in your home you can locate your router the better. If you are stuck keeping it in a lower level, I found the DAP-1320 repeater to work quite well and an inexpensive fix. I use one of these to provide signal to the backyard and find it to be quite good.

It can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.

I have mine mounted on the wall of a 3 car garage (inside). It reaches most of the two story with walkout basement house fine, as well as the backyard and pool area. I get a weak signal in an adjacent shop building, and use an amped range booster set up for the ubiquiti to feed my computer there. With that in mind, saw no need to mount it outside as I had initially planned.

Yes, the devices creates a network signal that is available to any electric outlet in your house. I have a detached garage that is fed power from the house underground. I have one device in my den in the house and another that is plugged in my garage. The unit in the garage connects to a wifi extender that supplies wifi to my backyard.
