can this cable connect from the router to the computer and Wi-Fi repeater 14 ft. away .. and still keep the wifi signal going 14 ft away .?

I do not use a wifi repeater so I can speak intelligently about that. A direct connection has worked flawless so far. No issues with connectivity. And my wifi still works good all around the house and even works well when using on my laptop in my back yard so no issues with the extra cable connection.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router.Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm

Depends on how far away the garage is; more than 50ft of cable degrades the signal from the modem to the router. Why run the cable? This router signal should cover 100ft without a problem.

The cable itself is fantastic but at that distance you're going to need a booster. I ran 400 ft outdoors and the signal was pretty weak dropped it down to 300 ft added a booster and we were rocking. Regardless of brand Cat5 isn't meant for that long of distances.

The actual coverage of any wi-fi antenna, or repeater, depends greatly on where it is placed and what is around it. I hate to be vague, but the signal from the Sabrent repeater is only a little less than standard routers I have tried, such as the Linksys WRT54, a very common wireless router. The outgoing signal is plenty strong on this repeater. The problem is that its receiver is almost worthless. Mine is setup less than 15 feet from my main router, with direct line-of-sight, and it does not pick up the main router's signal. When it does not receive the main signal, its repeated signal is blank. Strong signal, but no connection. I have stopped using it.

I have the exact same problem - the monitor killed every channel on my router. I found that putting a good 4-5 yards between the monitor and my laptop usually restored the connection.

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.

Hello friend. The wire is really short coming out of this antenna, around 1.5 ft. Btw this is not a router, just an antenna. It also didn't do anything to improve signal quality, I recommend you not to buy this item.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

Don't know the maximum range. Mine is in same room about twelve feet from router and works fine.

Can't answer that question. I have the repeater installed in the same room as my laptop. My modem, however, is two floors above and a distance away, so I know that the unit works as promised with the modem.

I use it for that exact same reason. It works fine for me from about 20 feet away from the computer. I have the computer in my bedroom and the signal passes through one wall just fine. It was spotty at first but after installing the supplied "pairing software" it works like a charm.

It all depends on how far it is from the wifi router that is connected to the internet. If you can place the repeater somewhere around midway between your computer and the router, that would probably give you the best odds of good reception. I'm assuming the router is at your neighbors house? If you can position the router at their house as close as possible to your house, but still within a range that gives them adequate reception, then placing the repeater midway between the router and your computer would increase the quality of the signal you recieve.

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.

I don't know. For me, going longer distances I've used Ethernet and other methods achieving pretty functional and reliable results for extreme distances (e.g., windows remote - a free tool with windows (PC). Good luck,
