what is the miximum range of this adapter? can it be used outdoor?

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

I purchased this for a friend who lives a 1.4 mile away from a public host spot and it would Only work a few houses down.

Yes, you can use it, but regarge it before taking to outside. Unfortunately, it does not keep long power supply as characterized by producent.

Yes it can be used outside. As long as you link all three on the same strip.

I didn't try the item outdoors. Frankly, it stopped working after a few times that I used it. Range wasn't all that good to begin with. I would not buy this product.

It can be used in an exterior location. I would recommend sealing the Pl 259 connector from moisture.

It depends on what you are trying to use it for. You will experience some signal lose, the antenna is designed to be used outside and will work the best that way.

Ms. Washington. I believe this type of adapter is good for inside the house use. In my case the house is over 100 years old. However, when you go outside there is always moisture to be concerned with when electrical is involved a big safety concern. Using electrical service outside should have a safety ground in place which is what is provided with the 3-wire plugs. I would suggest that you have an electrician convert the plug in your outside electrical box to a 3-wire grounded outlet instead. This would be much safer for your and your guests. Good luck.

The signal range is way over 30 feet. Mine is about 20 feet away and through two walls and my signal is fine. The only trouble is that, after two months, the adapter was suddenly unable to connect to my wireless network. This could very well be a user issue but, anyway, back to your question: Yes, it works awesome within 30 feet.

I could not answer that to be honest. I purchased this item to have on hand as friends and myself have many products and are always needing adapters. I just have it for a standby in case someone may need it. Wish I could be more help.

I used it for a completely different application. I connected a network adapter to an old desktop using this 10m cord. I used it outdoors so the connection (female) end deteriorated quickly. I'd say it worked spotty at best. I've since discarded the old desktop and the cord. Your application may require something a bit more dependable.

I have one of these deployed in an outdoor environment. Good strong signal in buildings up to 1500 feet away. One key note. Unless your trying to reach more than a km don't turn the distance setting up. That only changes timeout settings.

The amplifier has a lot of power. I think it would work in non-windy outdoor settings.

I assume it depends on what's between the dongle and the device/laptop. It's using 802.11/2.4GHz so the range should easily handle 80' open space. Maybe even go through some walls as long as there isn't a lot of metal or dense stuff between it.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

Most definitely, that range is within the capabilities of this antenna. I can pick up accesspoints about 300-500 feet down my street, I have about 15 listed with this antenna and an alfa wireless usb adapter. With the built wifi card in my laptop, I have only 2 listed. You do need a wifi adapter with a reverse polarity sma connector on it to hook it to. Amazon sells these as well. I suggest a usb adapter so you can use it with a laptop or desktop

Hi Alan,I think this is not meant for outdoor. You can check their entire product line (including some outdoor use products) at: www.carlofet.com

JW: I used the adapter in Jakarta, Indonesia and it worked very good. Sorry I can't give you a better answer. Regards
