I have a mifi 4501L and I can only get a very weak signal with verizon, no internet. Will this antenna help get a signal in rural area?

If you mean will this help your mifi get a better signal from Verizon, no. This is designed to pick up wifi signals. Your mifi takes a cell phone signal and converts it to a wifi signal in your house. The frequencies are very different. This will not improve your Verizon signal. Instead you should look into Yagi antennas that are made for cell phone reception. They are made, but I don't know if you would be able to interface those antennas with a mifi unit.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

Hi, you should get those channels, this antenna has more than a 50 mile radius. Give it a shot and put it up high where no interference will block you signal. Hope this helps.

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.

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

I believe R. Garrison is correct. One other thing to know, though, is that from my experience this blade-type antenna does NOT perform significantly better than rabbit ears-type antennas if the signals in your area are not good to start with. If you're considering this to improve on rabbit ears, I personally don't think it's going to improve your reception much.

I am not sure what your exact situation is, however, I do wireless communications for a living for over 25 years and I had the same product that did not work at all either. No matter what I did with the antenna location outside, tested the cables, etc. it just did nothing to boost the signal. I hope you have better luck but I had to return mine for a refund. I hope this helps.

This is meant for improving cell service but it depends on how weak your cell service is to begin with - if you have no signal at all or a very weak signal then this will surely NOT work for you.

I was never able to get channel 44 because the signal was not there. I lived in a river valley. I feel that I would have gotten it if I had lived on one of the hills in Providence. I even tried an antenna direct 4e which has a range of 65 miles and was never able to get 44. Antenna direct 4E: 4 Element Bowtie Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna - 60 Mile Range

No - since I went to 4G none of the amplifiers work reliably - true 4G connections need TWO antennas and right now, so far as I can tell, only ATT offers this in their devices. I have a verizon device (one antenna) and an ATT device (2 antennas) and the ATT device operated about 4 times faster....(in the same location pointing at the same tower) ...

My experience has been that it works for both, but only if you have a fairly weak signal to begin with. If I have three or four bars on my signal, I get little or no results. If I have one or two bars, I get great results with 3G or 4G. It will increase by at least one or two bars. It seems to have at least as good, or even better results with my verizon phone as with my jetpack. I would highly recommend this antenna as well as all the products I have purchased from Wilson.

Yep It should improve your signal ... I use it on a outdoor antenna that is 50 ft from my house.... I went from 2 stations to 25 when i hooked it up.

I can't fully answer as the area I tried it in had no signal that the Booster could detect and therefore I could not use it. As I had high-speed Internet, I ended up with a Samsung Range Extender from Verizon that works great.

The antenna has a little more gain than the antenna in your computer so it can pick up weak signals better, but if it less than one bar, it may still not pick it up good enough to have a solid connection and may not work. The modem has to receive as well, the 1W output is enough power to do that provided it is receiving well. Test what you have and see how many bars you have. If it is one or less, you may not get a good enough signal with this adapter. 2 or more and it will definitely make a difference. Line of site is also important, put your WIFI adapter where it can get a signal out through a window, the high frequency of the WIFI doesn't go through aluminum very well. Find out where the antenna is in the trailer park and position your computer's adpater to be within sight of it. This will give you the best possible signal.

It works good for us and we live in a very rural setting. Without it being outdoors we still pick up signal. I would suggest you purchase it.

I tried it with Verizon Fios and didn't notice any difference in the weak signal.

I have the booster that is for Verizon and it works with this antenna. Just make sure you get the correct booster. I called Wilson because I had questions also and it was the best thing I could have done. I would have bought the wrong booster and had to send it back and get the correct one. Just call Wilson and save some time.

I initially had the same issue as McKinney, but called my ISP and they found that the lack of signal boost was in my wiring, and fixed the problem. The antenna works great and attached easily to the standard actiontek PK5000 modem I bought through them. The TL-WA701ND looks to have the same antenna attachment and should work fine for you!
