I dont understand how this work, what do you connect the connector to? For example, if I wnt to use my IPAD in my car, and get better reception, does not have cellular service, just WiFi kind of thing. Would I be able to use this to make my wifi better reception? Would it work if I just buy this alone? or is there something else I must buy in order to use this? If yes, please tell me what I need to buy in details that I would understand. I am not tech gadget expert, I have no idea what I am doing. I just want something to make my WiFi stronger wherever I am. Thank you in advance!

Ya you have to get the Signal Booster by Wilson. It's about $120 and comes with a smaller antenna. This is a replacement antenna for better range. I work in the middle of the desert where there is no cell or WiFi signal anywhere but after getting the Wilson Signal Booster I get a signal which is great in case of Emergencies. It was worth the money

Okay here gOes... the cOnnectOr cOnnects tO a bOOster amplifier dOck more or less. this docking cell signal booster (Wilson electronics), is designed to work with cellular signals, not wifi. I believe Wilson Electronics has a whole plethora of devices for boosting 4G data signals I wish the right iPad is capable of which is not the one you have I presume as I believe they were only came in WiFi or 3G 4G. this antenna will not work by itself for the most part. Wilson Electronics or possibly some other company May have soMething for the iPad for boosting wi-fi I'm not sure.

The Wilson amplifier only boosts the cellular signal. We are in an area with a weak Cell signal. To have WiFi, we purchased a mobile hotspot and put that device in cradle of the Wilson amplifier. Now we use our WiFi tablet, and it works great.

I used it for my cell phone which I bought a kit prior to getting this (My dog ate the other one). So yes you'll need to have more than just this!

Yes I bluetoothed it to my phone to connect the two. I can also connect it to my computer and tv. You can connect it to your car to play music on your tablet. But it is not a phone where you can stream without a wifi connection,

Sorry for previous answer...wrong product... Same idea, but can connect to any wifi signal it can reach, provided you have credentials to connect. Device connects directly to what you want to bring the signal to via USB

I'm curious how you thought it would have anything to do with wifi? I am confused.

You may connect to the device only wirelessly from your modem. It then gives you options to connect via a 2 or 5 gightz connection on devices in range of the netgear. However it must be within close range of the modem when configuring in order to work properly. It takes 10 minutes to set up. I have a dead spot in my apartment and now I'm able to roam room to room without an issue with iPad, iPhone and laptops.

Thank you SO much -- I can't believe how difficult this information is to find! Neither Apple nor ATT are helpful at all. You are so right in saying this should be included in the documentation. What's the big secret? I'm still a bit confused -- are you saying that with the iPod Touch, it is not possible to have internet access anywhere *but* near hotspots, or in my own wireless home network? But that with the iPhone, internet access (via cellular network) is more widespread, like a cellphone?

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

The signal strength was simply week - more like short bluetooth range instead of wifi range. If you want to use it, I would recommend an extension cable so you can get the device out from under the dashboard and closer to where you normally would be (sitting on a seat in the car).

I'm not sure I understand but if you mean in your yard, then yes. I have unplugged it from one area of our house and plugged it in an outlet out back and we still had wifi on our iphones. Your extender just has to be near enough to your original source of wifi to pick it up. Your other devices have to be near enough to your extender. I don't think this is for driving around in a car though. You have to plug the extender somewhere where it can still pick up your original signal.

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

This is a specialized connector that only plugs into an existing iPod or iPhone connection. Your car would need to have that already. This is really a replacement for an existing connection, in case you lose or damage the original cable. It will not provide an iPod or iPhone connection to vehicles that don't already have it.

I guess yes , but i never tried it , I red about it ,connect to wi-drive wifi network then just open your browser and write down the ip address then you'll see the same menu as if it's an iPad ,..... but way you need this if you have a USB connection available ?!!!! , much faster and charging , The Wi-Drive idea is additional storage for devices with no USB socket

hey. the ELM327 will 'create its own WiFi network inside the car. You can then connect your iPhone to that network just as you would to any other WiFi. This device works pretty nicely!I use it with an App called 'DashCmd' found on App Store. Good Luck.

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

It boosts the cellular signal in the phone. So say you have 3g or 4g or lte on your phone. By sitting your phone in this cradle you get more bars. Or in areas where there be no bars it will usually give you a weak signal. You must have a cell phone plan active for this to work. It's not free signal. It is not designed for WIFI either. Just for cellular. Also Wilson makes a model for 3g, 4g, and LTE so make sure you get the correct model for your phone type

This antenna IS NOT---IS NOT....for wifi. This OUTDOOR/ROOFTOP antenna connects the CELL TOWER to a CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER/AMPLIFIER that connects to another usually indoor antenna that connects the CELL PHONE SIGNAL AMPLIFIER to to your PHONE or other NON-WIFI 3G device. f This antenna is NOT for connection to a ROUTER or other WIFI device.I hope this is clearer, now. You should seek professional assistance to get the real answers you need. And if Cyberonics recommends a particular item, then that is what you should buy.

The drive unit generates the wifi signal to which the iPhone connects. So yes, it would work in the car if you had the gauntlet drive in the car with you.
