We live in an earthborne house (3 sides underground) we had 1 bar to noo service everwhere in our house. We got the Wilson electronic device and now have 3 to 4 bars everywhere in the house, even the back rooms. To us, its well worth the money. We have the outside device pointed toward the nearest cell phone tower (doesnt have to be your carrier's tower, then locate the inside receiver in a central location within the house.

sorry i do not know.my tv is near a window and the antenna is perched on the sill and gets good reception. i cant say how well it would work in a basement.

My Camera is set up by my front door under a covered porch , I get great reception anywhere upstairs and downstairs. I'm guessing the basement location is about 40 feet and down stairs from the camera. I really like the simplicity of the system...When I go downstairs I just unplug the monitor and take it with me, plug it in downstairs and it comes right on! No problems at all!!!

Depending on the signal outside of your house is the answer...If you were to walk outside the home do you get improved signal bars on your phone? If you have 2 to 3 bars then this will theoretically place those inside your home. The second question is how much distance do you want inside the home. If you just went with this and say a small candy bar inside antenna (the piece that amplifies the incoming signal inside your home) then your going to be limited to sitting close to that point to use your phone. They make cradles that attach to the antenna's cable that comes in your house and this cradle will amplify this signal but it's limited to usually leaving the phone in or very near to the cradle to actually work. The best way to increase the signal inside your home is to purchase both the outside antenna and an inside powered booster with it's own inside antenna. The Zboost Tri Band unit is something to consider... http://www.amazon.com/zBoost-ZB575-A-Phone-Signal-Booster/dp/B00KDZEE68/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=12DMKJ3CH3Y7R65NDHZS Or the Wilson Kit...Easy to Setup aswell.... http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-460101-Signal-Booster/dp/B00HWX16GU/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1409158009&sr=1-1&keywords=wilson+att+signal+booster Both kits are all inclusive meaning everything is included to setup and use, no additional parts to buy. I own a similar Wilson kit to boost my cell phone and cell internet hub and it's been working flawless for a couple years and I can use my cell phone in the room located upstairs from where I installed the kit. Without the kit before I had zero bars in the basement, now I have 5 to 4 bars anywhere in the basement. Outside my home I have 2 bars before the booster was installed.

I had it inside on the first floor testing, it worked but the signal strength was greatly impacted. But my closest tower is about 35 miles away also, being on the second floor will help but you will more than likely be better off if you can get it in the attic at minimum.

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.

Julie, that is why I installed the product. With a metal roof, I had no signal. This is supposed to extend/boost the signal. After I had mine installed, I have signal in my basement! Now there was an app " Open Signal" that I used to find where to install the antenna to get the best strength. So, I would say he didn't install it correctly. Mine works well and so does my sons and one of my clients installed his in a shop with a metal roof to get a signal. Have him come back to install properly!

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

If there is a window in your basement, it should work. If there is no window, I don't think so. This antenna needs to be fixed on the window in order for it to work the best. Just like how it was shown in the one of the pictures provided.

I am not sure about that but I am sure you can return it if it does not work out I don't think it will be a problem you are pointing it in the direction of the signal. It may be through a window but I am sure the signal is higher than our homes. Go to Terk.com and they can help you with additional questions.

It will work, but you may get only a limted number channels depending on your area. Also, I am not sure if will pick a good signal in a basement.

Mine works all over the house and outside. I dont know about a basement specifically, but I think it would work. The monitor is really sensitive and I have never had disturbance.

It depends on distance between house and garage. It needs a signal to work.

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.

I'd get a better Router :)Seriously, place it in the same room you're using (if possible), as range decreases with every layer of material it has to pass through (flooring, ceiling, walls, etc.).This is a basic router, and if you really don't want to stare at your router on a daily basis, you can try putting it in a room adjacent to the main area you normally use. Hiding it in the basement when you're usually upstairs will likely result in you dropping your connection more frequently.Good luck in optimizing your location!Gordon

I would go with the more expensive boosters for basement applications. I am on the first floor and have it mounted to the top of a window next to my desk. Signal strength goes from one bar to four most of the time. They have a unit that is mounted to the roof and boosts the signal for everywhere in the house. It was about $150 last time I checked, and it was well rated.

Good possibility . My installation is not in the woods but I am picking up signals from that distance from some of my neighbors. I am in the country but it is open and flat. If you can get any signal this will boost it .
