I live right next door to my mom (about 20 feet) who has wifi. Can I use this with my HP laptop?

You shouldn't trust in this company, If you have any problem they won't reply your question.

Use mine as an access point and works fine with all wifi electronics throughout the house.

1) The power should be close enough for it to work just fine. 2) Internet protocol is pretty much standard and the same everywhere. 3) The laws concerning WiFi (the RF signal) might be different, but it will definitely connect to whatever else you take with you (laptops, WiFi cards, routers, etc.)

Most definitely, that range is within the capabilities of this antenna. I can pick up accesspoints about 300-500 feet down my street, I have about 15 listed with this antenna and an alfa wireless usb adapter. With the built wifi card in my laptop, I have only 2 listed. You do need a wifi adapter with a reverse polarity sma connector on it to hook it to. Amazon sells these as well. I suggest a usb adapter so you can use it with a laptop or desktop

You could, but wouldn't recommend it. By doing so you effectively cut down on the wireless range as you just went from an open omni-directional signal to one that is now partially blocked by the PC itself.

It doesn't require a wifi connection. It comes with a small wireless usb adapter to connect the keyboard and mouse to the computer. All your mom needs is a usb port to plug the adapter to.

Michael, I worked for HP 13 years and although I am no longer with HP this printer is the best wireless for home use. It does not need to be near a computer. I have my phone which is samsung, dell computer, my daughters Apple tablet and vaio all connected wireless. This works for us!

Most likely. I use it as far as 8 miles, but it is pretty much line of sight. If you can't see your target, it probably won't work. Check the Ubiquiti Wiki for set up instructions on using it as a simple wifi access device. That is pretty much its out of the box defaults.

I assume it depends on what's between the dongle and the device/laptop. It's using 802.11/2.4GHz so the range should easily handle 80' open space. Maybe even go through some walls as long as there isn't a lot of metal or dense stuff between it.

Not sure, the wifi was so bad that I gave up trying to make it work. I had it 5 feet from my router. :-(

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

You would have to be within range of router. there is an initial setup that is easy but requires you to plug it into the router.

I use a JacobsPart wifi Router in a mobile home from my son's wifi about 300' away (I cannot even pick up FM radio without an outside antenna). I get 3 bars which equals good signal. It works great. Of course I am not on the computer that much, but it works aytime I connect. And his home has aluminum siding to pass thru also.

Location should not be an issue. As long as you are using with a 802.11AC, N, G wireless access point it should work fine. May want to check with the manufacturer.

I would say no as it needs a USB to connect also I know with mine there were drivers to make it work. You could however hook it to your shop computer if you have one to receive from the router I think maybe for what you're looking to do you may want to check out the WIFI antenna at Heartland Amnerica I have no knowledge of the product but you can probably review cust's opinions on it

I would say No, IBM puposly made there version of wifi short range 100 feet max. but it is 2.4 ghz, would be very minimal i'll bet.

yes, you can do this, and the range is pretty large, i've used my computer over 40 meters away.
