No, Think of It as a laptop or moblie device. It picks up all signals you get to choose which one to connect to. once connected you are in. I have had no problems with this device, works great.

It can interfere with other devices on the 2.4 ghz range. Make sure your wireless router is not in the same room as the device as it'll certainly cause issues. Dual-band routers that utilize the 5.0 ghz range won't have the same issue.

To my understanding you will not have wifi in the middle of nowhere. If your laptop is not "wifi" ready, it will make it "wifi" ready.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

I have ONE... but I believe two would work... upon startup each end 'scans' for the other end; I would think that if you 'brought up' one link and then the other they would form two non-interfering links. Also be aware that the range of these devices is low... a wall or even serious furniture can impede the signal completely, so it might be possible to just 'aim you way' to mutual non-interference. Hope this helps. BTW: I love mine... it make a super clear and high fidelity connection far better than the WiFi links I tried before buying this.

I haven't noticed any interference. It is installed in my bedroom and i don't use the computer or phone or TV in there. Not much help I fear.

No it wont. I wrote a whole article on that topic on my blog. Mine does not interfere with WiFI at all. I threw away my previous perfectly good Panasonic/GE because it killed my wifi.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

I use my laptop on seven different WiFi areas I have no problems with any of them. They might have bad WiFi card or they need to up grade the WiFi software.

Not sure about this, working for my Laptop but signal drops when I move my Laptop to another room in my apartment

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

That really depends on your wifi setup. If you have a setup that is set to use low power, and you have many walls/floors between the two points, you may experience difficulty reaching the wireless controller from your router. One way to test is to take your laptop/tablet/smartphone to the controller location and see if you can locate your router wifi connection. If you can reach the signal that way, you should have no problem with the 828LM connecting.

I can think of 2 ways. Remove the Wifi go module that the wireless antenna is connected to, or disable the wireless through your windows network software.

I did not use it outside, but it set up in a flash with Windows 8 and worked perfectly after signing into the local wireless network. I would agree with the other answer about keeping the USB connection safe from water. You can by USB extender cables if you need to make a longer run to your outside location. The antenna itself seemed well insulated.

It has never interfered with the WiFi in the house. My dad uses it everyday and my mom LOVES it! This is probably the best gift I ever bought for him.

yes, I recently went to Win8 and it works much better than the built-in wifi. click on the network icon in the lower right and you should see both wifi adaptors if you have 2.

I did attach the unit to another mount but had to drill other holes to attach it. I have wifi and the control does not interfere with wifi orvice versa.
