How fast is the signal on this? I purchased a WiFi Booster and the signal strenth was great but it was a slow as a dial-up!

I'm using two of these antennas with engenius enh200ext on each end to share the Internet connection from my office which is 1/2 mile away and it works great. Just like having the connection right at my house.

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

Not sure that's a relevant question, but I'll try to answer by giving information. It's the highest gain antenna I found, useful for receiving signal outdoors (house to house) rather than indoor. It is directional so it needs to be pointed in the general direction of the other antenna. The reception is noticeably stronger than my 9dbi antenna once pointed correctly so I would say it definitely does its job.For performance issues you may need to troubleshoot the internet connection, network cards, cables or the router. It's unlikely to be the antenna.

I agree with W.Beckles. Note: check your N router, also, some only work well withWindows 7

If there are any tree's,etc in the line of sight, any moisture from(wet)leaves can alter the signal/strength. Note: If you are using the pc built in wifi, get a router and create a hot spot in your house l

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

Thanks, for the help but one more question...I have done some tests and the highest throughput I got was 12mbps/4.5mbps with a cheap pair of Asoka Pluglink 9650's...Would I see a better improvement, or is this product not worth the money?

What are you using the modem for? What's the Internet Services top speed? I have comcast plus boost running over 40 Wi - fi devices with no issues. If you are concerned, spend more for newer top of the line device.

Yes unfortunately, but it mostly has to do with boost mobile having trouble with their towers...so i end up using my wifi if i dont have signal...which doesnt really help. It makes everything agonizingly slow...

Yes, we have had the same issue. Original wifi card that came with the system was non-functional. Tech Support was extremely friendly and helpful troubleshooting and sent a new card. New card is very slow (1Mbs vs 20-40 with other devices in the house). Will contact them again for additional guidance / assistance.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

I could be wrong, but if you have any other wi-fi devices running on B or G, you are limited to the fasted device on the router. I just got mine, so I will be setting it up tonight to be sure it works.

Sorry. I'm having some trouble figuring out your question, so I'm going to try and answer what I believe you are asking.... This device does not affect the WiFi at all. It is in simplest terms, a booster for your cell phone. However, if you are using your cell phone as your WiFi, then yes it can increase the signal of the cell phone, and in turn the WiFi. I really hope this helps. If I didn't answer your question, please repost and I will do my best.

Well, Fortunately I do not have big issue with it,ya some times it does drop wifi when signal is weak but in office where signal strenght is good it doesn't drop it.so I guess it is good.After update to 2.3.4 couple of times phone got lil slow in terms of response when I close any games I played & try to go to other application immediately, not sure it is normal but after restarting phone it is all fine as of now.let seeThanks,Hemant

I'm not sure of the speed but it's fast , I download very quick books , apps ect , wifi great , I enjoy mine and haven't had any problems .

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

The customer service at Amped Wireless is exceptional. I would rather have the question answered by them. The signal at my house is very good.

The cost is $55. The speed is MUCH faster than normal wifi or cell phone data. The last time I checked they said they would support existing customers but you could NOT become a member. One of the commenters disagrees with me so maybe that has changed.
