If any router will I have to believe this one will.It does a great job of finding wireless devices.I just don't know how you can tell what you are doing without a computer.You might want to see if a friend will loan you a laptop so you can set it up.

Your router needs to have a detachable antenna. That is the place where the Hawking signal booster hooks in. If it has this it should work. This is a wifi signal booster .

Look at the documentation for your specific router and see what it says it will support. If your router doesnt support certain speeds then this antenna wont work at its full capacity so it wouldnt even be worth buying. Check your router documentation and go from there

no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

I don't know what configuration you have in your laptop. However, I can tell you that you need to have Intel Wireless Display Technology (Intel WiDi) chipset in your laptop in order to make it work. Although my laptop has the chipset to use Netgear Push2TV, the quality is not acceptable. Therefore, I do not recommend to buy this product. After I purchased this product, it worked for few days. Slowly, the graphics became worst and annoying to clone my laptop to TV. I think it helps you to make the decision.

I do not understand what you are wanting here. Is it you are wanting to use this to boost the signal inside your house and that is why you have a router? This is an external outside " directional " antenna. It helps to direct a cell phone signal to a cell phone tower. It uses a cell phone signal booster like those sold by Wilson Electronics. If this router provides a signal boost then maybe it can but I can not really answer your question without knowing what it is you want.

Huge problem caused by WRE54G. After the setup, my laptop can "see" the network but cannot get on internet: "Page cannot be found." The laptop is connected to the wireless network, signal is strong, can see other members of the network, but not internet!!! These people in India could not help, go figures...

I'm sorry. I've only ever used it for pc connectivity and really don't know. Wish I could be more help.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

This is not at all like a wireless router. It will not transmit a wireless signal to another device but only work as a receiver of a wireless signal. So, if you have a wireless router, this can be plugged into a PC to receive that signal but it's not a "transceiver", only a receiver of existing wireless (such as from a wireless router).

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.

It might improve the signal a bit more just because the wireless adapter has a high gain antenna but is not the most recommended method to increase the signal since your laptop has a built in wireless circuit. Your best bet will be a wi-Fi range extender or a more powerful wireless router. Hope this helps...JR

I do not know the answer to this, but most wireless devices will pick-up all wireless signals. I live in a condo and can see a dozen networks from neighbors on my laptop and I know all the routers are different. Also, I use wireless at three locations - two home and one business. My cable company just upgraded two of my modems and they have routers built in. If you have a problem you can see if your cable company will do that. Having the modem/router combo saved me lots of downtime at work.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

I have my router on the first floor and radio on the second floor and it works great. (I'm able to get a good signal on my laptop so before getting the radio my assumption/hope was that this would indicated enough signal strength for the radio to work.)

I just tried this with antennas from a dual-band router. I got a 20-25% drop in signal, but it still worked fine. It is important to note however that my desktop is a true desktop i.e. it is located on my desk's surface, and not the floor.
