Does the Internal Wi-FI need to be disabled for the antenna to work
1705076
I did not need to disable the internal Wi-Fi on my Dell desktop or Macbook Air. However I believe the instructions do say to disable it. I would try it without disabling first.

no, but you will be better off using just one. One connection fewer conflicts.

Yes, it does. However, the caveat is that you must enable airplane mode first. Just disabling the wifi won't cut it. I don't know why this is, just that it works. Blame the driver developers at Toshiba.

No need for an antenna, I don't believe this dongle would even be able to use it if you had one.Mine certainly works fine without.

Yes and no. The maximum throughput is defined by the technology of your AP, not by the antenna. Also, if you configured some hard limits in your AP or your WiFi card/dongle, there is nothing the antenna can do. Also, the network will go with the speed of the slowest device, so, if you have 802.11b devices in the network, try to upgrade those.Having said that, one of the mechanisms that all wi-fi technologies use to cope with poor signal conditions is to slow down the signal. So, if your slowdowns were caused by poor signal conditions, this antenna MAYBE MAY help (redundancy intentional). Yes and no.

No, this model is not wi-fi enabled. The wi-fi enabled model is some more expensive even though it looks like this but has a different wiring, display and price of course. This model is just programmable but it works pretty good even on humidity control.

A wireless apt like belkin N150 or wet11 the wet11 can be connected to a different antenna if you have a weak signal

A Wifi module is attached and it is optional for you to attach it or not. I did attach it to the board and it is workable.

No, in fact the way the antenna is connected is quite flimsy. I like to take things apart and when I did so to my receiver I saw that the antenna was connected to the circuit board by a very short wire, so short that even rotating the antenna put stress on it. I believe the connection to the wifi module was MCX. If you are hacking inclined, you could take it apart, remove the antenna and route in your own MCX connected antenna.Honestly, this thing is long in the tooth. There are better devices out there now.

I never bothered to enable the wireless capability. You enable it in the control panel.

I never turn off my receiver and it does not seem to mess with the wi-fi at all so my answer is NO it does not interfere with wi-fi.

Yes..the antenna can be used indoor..the antenna is primarily for outdoor purposes though..of course you would have to purchase the correct cable if you are using a wifi adapter that has a rp sma reciever...you wouldn't find much of difference with this antenna as compared to a typical 9dbi indoor omni directional antenna...i have tried this antenna indoor for a while.. the same result i achieved with all my other indoor omni directional antennas....next problem include fixing it to the wall with the correct accessories since the antenna is pretty long. have a go with it IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIMENT and see how it works!

There is no way to avoid neighbors from using it. As long as your Wi-Fi is protected they can only use the antenna's signal to boost their Wi-Fi power.

Not required if your computer has an antenna or antenna pendriber currently are using

Yes, in the operating instructions, it explains how to manually program it. You have to program it manually to do initial testing to make sure it is wired correctly and working properly before connecting the WiFi.

Yes Richard, it is wi-fi enabled. Its a little difficult to figure out but it does work.

You do need a WIFI signal (at least briefly) for some odd reason...maybe location to get a TV signal. It doesn't make sense but otherwise it will lock the TV channel even if you get a good signal.

Yes I am. When I turn off the wireless security, the TV will pick up the network. But I use my laptop and don't want a non-secure wi-fi network.
