This may be a stupid question to some of you more savvy techies, but here goes. I received this product today but can not figure how to connect it to my router. The end of the cable has a small co-axle looking plug with a pin inside. Nothing on my router has an outlet even closely looking like this. What am I doing wrong? What do I plug it into to get some usage out of this antennae? Thanks for your help. This may be a stupid question to some of you more savvy techies, but here goes.

I purchased this antenna for a specific router sold by "Clear Wireless Internet 4g" you may have purchased the wrong antenna or that your WiFi router doesn't have an input for external antenna's or since there are two different standards for the coax nipple you may have to buy an adaptor or return the one you purchased.

It's made to replace an existing antennae. If your router has an antennae, unscrew it & see if the new one will screw in. I used it to replace an actiontec/verizon router antennae & it fit that way.

Many routers have an existing antennae in which is to be replaced by this one. If your router doesn't have an antennae then you can't use this booster. This booster did not work for me

You can take item and router to Radio Shack and they will sale you an adapter. The booster antenna works great!!!!

At no time does it ever have to be plugged into the router. Plug into an outlet close to the router during setup. After that, move it to an outlet further away to extend the signal.

Hi, maybe i am not the right person for you to ask this question now, cause i am actually having problems now. It was working fine, but for some other reasons, i needed to re install everything from Factory, and now is not working properly. I go a Little bit far from the router, and the speed goes down town. Hope my answer is usefull. Cheers

Plug right in to an ethernet network. But, my wireless works great. Something else is going on. Maybe your internet connect or wireless router.

Thanks. I'll try. Both my laptop and my computer have active little lights that seem to indicate they are sending or receiving signals. I gather that means a router would be sufficient if I understand K. Slon.

That coax looking cable is likely the antenna. the router only has ethernet ports, no sort of coax.

Sorry for the delay. Have you been able to connect? My wife hit connect and typed in password and it connected right to our router.Let me know if you are still having issues and I will check to see exactly what she did. Thanks

I can't exactly answer that. You have me wondering that also now. Mine is connected to the original modem my ISP prided me. So it goes from wall to the modem, then it plugs into my NETGEAR, then in to my PC. I bought this to replace the basic model my ISP provides, but didn't actually do away with the router. I'll have to try. Works fine with this set up. Much better then the basic "Comtrend model " they provided.

Don't connect it directly to the router, just to the cable. The ethernet signal is on the cable. This is not a network device. All it does is convert the ethernet on the cable to the standard ethernet signal on the RJ45 ethernet connector. The router will recognize the devices connected to the MOCA.

First off, I'll assume you have a modem? If you don't, this router will be useless to you. On the back of your modem, you have a cable that runs from the modem to the back of your computer. Disconnect this cable from the back of the modem and, instead, plug it into any one of the ports on the back of the wireless router that are labeled "wired." Now use the included cable (Identical to but probably shorter than the one you just disconnected and re-connected - the one with yellow ends.) to plug into the top port on the router (labeled "modem") and plug the other end of the cable into the modem in the exact same port you disconnected the other cable from. That's all you have to do. First off, I'll assume you have a modem? If you don't, this router will be useless to you.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

You have to check if your connections match the antennae connections. I am not familar with your router. One time I fitted a Linksys router with these antennae, flashed the router with DD-WRT, then plugged the Linksys router into the Quest Router (a crappy OEM router, maybe similar to your Verizon router) and used the new router as the main wireless router since it had the upgraded antennae. So there is the long way to get these antennae "attached" to a crappy OEM router that doesn't actually accept the antennae.

Hi Kevin. Can you describe this problem that you encounter with your router? Also include the troubleshooting steps that you did, or if you've tried calling our support team, or if you've have browsed through our support site/knowledge-base for troubleshooting info. Thanks.

I don't think I can really help; I just connected mine to the TV and followed steps. However I have wireless dsl through my local phone company so I did not hook anything to a router.

I just used an old router power cable. About the drivers, I still haven't gotten them to work. In order to use them with RasPi, you have to re-build the kernel. They don't tell you that in any of the info.If you do buy it though, could you please email me a copy of the Linux drivers from the disk?
