I live in rural Colorado (western slope) is this going to get me Wifi?

The item cannot get WiFi unless the WiFi is already there. In other words, all this item can do is make you get an existing WiFi signal to come in better. It sounds like you may be where there is no internet access at all? That is different. If you don't have DSL, Cable, or FiOS in your area, you may want to consider satellite.

Depends on the distance. You can purchase a pigtail and put a bigger antenna on it (most of them are n-type). I put a 14 dbi directional panel ant. on one and after insertion losses I still had close to 4 watts EIRP. There are bigger ant.'s available, just make sure you use the correct cable. Mine was LMI400 for a 40' run. My range was 1/3-1/2 miles on the G-band w 54+MBS throughput. LMI 600 would have been better but many more $$. One other note, DO NOT plug the two USB connections into a hub, two connections are needed to have ample power for the amp.

This devise will magnify a signal if one exists that is close enough to be detected. Of course the signal needs to be "open" (not scrambled)...if you can find a signal with your laptop that is available but just too weak for your laptop to pull it in, then this devise will do the job. It can't do miracles, tho.

Not likely! This only amplifies the signal that you already have available.

I don't think it would be sufficient for you. Ours works fine but it is also flat land and the remote connection is in clear view. We are happy with it but it does not have to work hard to work for us. Sorry, not trying to discourage you but would probably recommend you get something with more power.

It doesn't compare to wifi in my home - it's more like the speed I get with AT&T; 4G on my iPhone. It's not something that I could do all my work on (I'm a web developer), but it works just fine when I'm onsite with a client or stuck somewhere with no wifi.

Depends. I bought mine and installed it. I live in coral springs, fl, a relatively flat area, so the signals come in crisp from the local stations. the type of house you live in shouldn't matter. it's the topography of the area you live in. hills, tall buildings, etc... will effect reception.

no it wont. You need a wireless bridge for that. I recall TP link has such a device. I did not get it because it do not have 5GHz band

You need to plug in a RJ-45 ethernet cable that has internet and then this product makes a wifi with that internet. If you are in a rural area and use wireless (3G/4G/LTE) for internet choose a pocket router that has an usb dongle support and not this one.

Unfortunately I bought this as a gift and cannot verify that information. I believe this works off your home wifi connection, so it shouldn't matter where you live. I'm thinking this product would be best tested under a dual band router, that way you can use the 2.4ghz band or the 5ghz.

Thank you! I appreciate the info. We'll be using our home wireless router (N).

No wireless internet needed. MY husband has his for use in our barn he built, absolutely excellent reception......... I would imagine you would get great reception because the satellite sends air waves to earth and what a beautiful place for it to miss, would be Costa Rica .......... Good luck......

Considering its cost, easy in home placement it's working great. I am receiving signals from stations 100 miles away. However it's unknown if those signals are retransmitted locally. That's the key to your question.

Nope, it comes WiFi ready. As long as you have wireless capabilities at your house, you're good to go.

it is a wireless router, which should provide you with wifi for a reasonable distance,depending on the terrain and/or construction of your premises. for extended range there is a seperate product, called appropriately a wifi range extender

You'll need to have a really strong feeder signal from your router. It says 70%, but you're going to need more like 85%

Of course it depends on the signal of the wifi but we use it on or RV and locate several wifi signal from businesses a mile or so away. Now this is when we're in AZ. and it's an open area. It brings in a lot of wifi from pvt parties also.

WiFi is "line of sight," and with these devices you can go considerably farther than 3,000 feet. If you can see (with your eyes, not electronically) your target location from your source location, it is very likely you can set up a connection using two of these devices. I live in a canyon, and I put one of these on a hill about 3,375 feet away and my WiFi detector "heard" it with around 35 dB. A second one of these devices on that hill sends the signal back down into the canyon floor 2,144 feet farther away. I also get a strong signal over two miles away.

This would work well. Attach to a window with view of the external WiFi antenna on office. We then login all devices to the Pepwave. Works well for us in many campgrounds.

yes but will work better if in site with wifi entenna between buildings bring the signal up 50% in clear site 100% very good

No; it works fine on my wifi network. If your wifi connection's OK at home, not a problem.
