My local library is 4 blocks from my home. Would this be able to pick up its wifi signal(the library)?

I have picked up from that distance, without a lot of things blocking your signal. You can put this antenna outside when you use it, but if I do put it outside, I don't when it is raining, I always bring it back inside later on. Put it up high outside. There might be something you can pick up between your house and the Library that you didn't know about. Try different directions with the antenna itself. I love mine, using it right now! Good Luck!!

As long as there is an opening in the room where you place the unit, the signal should freely go through your house. To get the strongest signal in your situation, you may want to leave the door open to another room where you are taking advantage of the wireless signal. But the unit delivers a clear signal throughout my house and even outdoors for that matter. I have had no issues with signal strength in using mine, and the unit is an easy set-up with the software CD to manage your network.

It depends on the density and material of the wall, but I would say yes about 10 to 20%. If you want extreme signal range you can try an Amped Wireless repeater. Because of these antennae my parents can get a 2 to 3 bar signal outside their house 450 feet away. I installed the amped wireless repeater in their house and their speeds match mine with no real change in dropped packets. Mount your router about 4 foot off the ground, I got a cheap $15 wall shelf at. Walmart. Good luck hope this helps!

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.

Yes, definitely. It produces it's own wireless signal to stream. We have no problem connecting 4 devices on a 16 hour drive.

It will mostly depend on your landlord's router. With a good one it should just reach. For anything that far though, I recommend setting up a wireless repeater.

Wherever there is a WiFi access point and a good signal, then it will most likely work...I say give it a try.

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver.It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

It works as a hot spot for any device with Wifi capability. But you'll need to have Clearwire in your area.

It would probably depend on how strong the signal is from the public network. I have had this NetGear universal wifi adapter for a few years now and it has worked with everything that I've plugged it into. Still working. Recently hooked it up to my Blu-ray player that has built in wifi but was getting a weak signal...improved signal reception a lot.

Hello Debi-As long as the devices are within range of the WiFi they should work in your home just fine.

No and no. This a repeater it repeats your wifi connection stronger in your house. This is not a portable booster for wireless it is a reaper.

It can only work if you are within the range of WiFi network. Place your wireless modem very close to the window, or on the windowsill so the device will get a signal.

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

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

I say yes under the following scenario. If at the closest point to your neighbors house you are getting 40/50 signal strength chances are pretty good you can extend the signal much farther into yours. While true the initial set-up needs to be near 100 signal strength, however after that the unit can be moved to optimize the range of the signal. Netgear has a really great app called the Netgear Genie exactly for that purpose. Any yes, your neighbor will need to let you come over to set the unit up. Good Luck.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!
