Will this work as advertised to get a wifi signal (weak) and improve it while traveling anywhere?

Yes!!! Works great,the only thing is the configuration job...its really complicated

It could. It can rebroadcast a wifi signal it gets, this acting like a repeater. The problem is that you have to locate the device where it can get a signal, which might be outside your room. Once it has a good signal, then yes, you can lay in bed and connect to the device which will relay your information to the internet and vice versa.

That's exactly what Wi-Fi repeaters were invented to do. This one can do it to a point, like all repeaters. If it can get and keep a signal, then it can boost it. Keep in mind that it doesn't have any external antennas so don't expect miracles. "Weak" will have limitations. If you have room, you might want to get a full sized repeater with antennas depending on how weak the signals you plan on boosting.

I never heard this is a booster or so, it provides WiFi signal in those hotels where only Ethernet is available. For me works very good, as I can connect tablets, phones even when WiFi is not available. Hope this helps

Yes it can. I travel a lot and you just have to have the ability to sign in to the WIFI where ever you are.

yes it can pick up wifi signals....some places have passwords but restaurants and such allow access...

Yes, be advised the transmit power is not that high but it will increase your ability to have wireless in low reception areas.

Yes, the device can do that. You may see a little lag off and on depending on wireless conditions.

The booster only helps increase wifi internet access, not phone reception. Hope this helps.

In the described situation this would not work as a wireless repeater because of the poor quality signal. If there was a wired connection in the room you could use this to convert that to a strong wireless signal. There aren't any products that will help you correct poor signal strength at a hotel. The only options that exist are connecting via a wired connection if offered by the hotel, relocating closer to their wireless access point or connecting via an air card or hotspot that uses a 3g or 4g cellular connection.

However far it can pick up the wifi it will amplify the signal. The farthest I have used it is about 1,000 feet from a router.

Hello,The WiFi Booster will only extend the range of your WiFi. It will not help your cellular phone service.

As far as I can tell, the best use for this device is a paperweight. It did nothing to expand my wifi range.

I can't answer that specific question since I'm full time in a motorhome and used it to pick up weak RV park WiFi signals. I would expect, however, that is you can pick up a weak signal at all then this device should give you a good connection. Note, however, that the driver software works for this purpose only on Windows. The Mac OS is not supported for this use.

In terms of connectivity, it should work. But I have not used it like this so I don't know if the signal loses fidelity.

as a booster it can't slow down the connection you are attaching it to...it can only make it better, but how much better is the question. For the use I have it for it This works "enough" to keep the streaming of a movie without stalling, although I anticipate if I were out on the open road looking for a signal, I would be better off with a booster that had more range of up to 1 mile. This booster is fine for the distance of 200ft. through an outside wall and small forest growth to my camper from my main modem. It's a great product for the price.

Yes it should be! Once you have a wifi signal on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency it will pick up your signal clear as ever! Router brands make little difference!

(see this same question in wired to wireless) Has anyone had success with AE boosting a wimpy wireless hotel signal to a stronger one to use wirelessly within the hotel room?
796684
yes but will work better if in site with wifi entenna between buildings bring the signal up 50% in clear site 100% very good

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.
