Greetings. I wanted to use this on a RV to pick up weak/distant Wi-Fi signals. Will this work for this or will something else work better? THANK YOU&gt;

This antenna will work for picking up Wi-Fi signals on the 5Ghz band, AKA the second band on routers advertised as dual band. If you're looking for picking up signals from a distant hotspot such as what you'd find in a typical neighborhood Wi-Fi signal, as well as a mall or restaurant, the TP-Link 2.4ghz antenna, model TL-ANT2424B would be a much better fit.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

If the wireless reception from your neighbor's house is strong enough it will work, if not it will continually drop out and loose sync. This device might be hard to configure in this situation and tech support is miserable. It gave me a strong signal but never let my devices connect to the internet. Sent it back. I purchased a Linksys RE1000, hooked it to the computer and the CD did the rest. Excellant quality signal.

It worked for me. It is much better at picking up the cell phone signal. I hooked it up to my Wilson box.

This device is all you need for 4G coverage moving or stopped. My wife uses ours to stay connected from our RV while we are traveling. It has worked reliably since we began using it. Hope this helps you.

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.

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.

I ordered one and returned it. It didnt work for me as a stand alone umit(wifi booster) i missread add or they added more info. Looks know like this unit is supposed to hook up to router then send you wifi signal. I wish i had called seller to ask why it didnt work before returning it. If it works it is one of the only ways to get a mobil network with wifi router in a mobil vehicle like my rv.

Only you can answer that question. I purchased and used my receiver in a motorhome. The area we were in uses cable TV connections that were very snowy and had lot's of broken signals. I placed the RCA in the front windshield, ran an auto-scan and loaded channels. Of the 21 channels only two were less than very good signal. Different area's will give you different results.

Yes, it does work, I am hooked to it right now, or I couldn't pick up wifi. We live in RV resorts that only offer wifi and if u aren't really close to the signal, forget it. I have been hooked to mine now for 3 years. Don't expect really long distances, but a decent range on this thing for sure. Order a longer cord, so you can move it around inside or set it outside. Really have loved mine!!

We found it to not pick up a signal when we were nowhere near 1000 feet away from our house; more like only about 200' away. Big disappointment. It wouldn't pick up the signal from our house when I was just across the street in our neighbor's house, and you lose reception even faster if you have a more solid wall like plaster or brick instead of drywall. We live in a city so not sure if there were other interfering signals from home wireless networks or radio.

I actually have one in my RV but have a truckers antenna rather than the magnetic mount antenna. There was no place to put the magnet mount antenna and the trucker antenna was better. You have to be close to the inside antenna for it to work. I do have service in places where other people don't and have on 2 occasions letother people use it in an emergency. Wilson has very good service. You might contact them for recommendations.

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.

Yes-This model has two usb connectors. It works very well from my Motorhome to receive weak signals that I could not work with in most RV parks. It will usually bump the signal bars up from one or two to four or five and bring in wifi signals not normally received.

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

If you are asking about a moving RV, then I'm sure the signal/reception will not be consistent. We have one we use in both the home & RV, but you have to pace the antenna where it gets the strongest, most consistent reception.
