Where do I get the iPhone to coax adapter to test the signal strength of the directional antenna? Also, the number for test mode won't work.

Wilson doesn't make a simple cable for this. I had to make my own from a tester that simply sticks to the outside of your phone on one side and is coax on the other. Also have to wrap my phone in aluminum foil to reduce ambient signals. Go to iphone keypad and type *3001#12345#* it works

There is a #for service if you have problems. We called they were very helpful. We called because we could not get it to work. The problem was at the factory the miss marked the cables going to the outside and inside were backwards. The # to check your signal is *3001#12345#* make sure you use the star keys. Good luck

You should be able to bring up the signal strength on the phone without connecting it. I have Droid phones and my wife and son watched the signal on the phone settings while I turned the antenna. I installed the booster in the summer of 2013 and have been very happy with it. My rural house had spotty coverage on both floors and now with the booster I can walk through out the house without an issues. I also have the booster cradle in my truck and it works great.

I'm guessing you're in a menu that allows you to select a source for your incoming signal. If so, it looks like it may be set to CABLE. You will want to switch or select ANTENNA.

besides the magnetic antenna, it comes with an antenna connector. I'm not sure if it will support coax cable

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck! OK, near a window? In the city?

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction? Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself? It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there! Good luck!

I can receive a signal in my house. There's no connection I can see for an external antenna.

I purchased mine and originally hooked it up directly with coaxial to the extra port on existing node on sat. dish on roof, then activated it and it worked fine.However at some point I went to settings and configured the network setup as a MAC bridge, it continued to work properly even after I disconnected the coaxial cable from the Joey completely. So it continued to work with nothing but a regular network cable running to the hopper and functioned normally. I was surprised.So perhaps in Mac Bridge mode all that is needed is a connection to your hopper.But during activation I am not sure if they would be able to activate it that way, call Dish and ask.

go to getmyelectronics.com under antennas look for the RF Antenna adapter (coax), it says it for small portable digital tv antenna adapter esp. RCA $13.99 I had same problem looking for one as I have the RCA digitalTV DHT235A 3.5" I'm ordering mine now.

I don't think so. There is no way to connect coax. I think it is strictly for phone and ethernet cable.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

My Iphone has 4G capability, but in our area we arent that sophisticated yet and only have 3G transmissions from our towers.Just to be sure I recommend calling Wilson Amplifier. They are really good about answering questions.

The supplied coaxial is bare wire but you can use any double-ended 1/8" cord (like the AUX connector for your iPad in your car) to connect it to your radio's external antenna input. If your portable does not have an option to recieve MW from the external, antennas like this work great passively (set near your radio). You are going to be turning it and angling it alot anyway since MW ferrite loops are directional. So don't let the lack of connections scare you off. I use mine passively even though my Grundig 750 has an input jack and get better results that way.

I may have over looked a very important fact. I doubt this router has a coaxial cable connection. It probably has either net cabling or USB cabling hook up. So assuming it has no coaxial cable hook up, then the router and this antenna are incompatible.

Just plug the cable where your cable/antenna would go and point the antenna in the direction of the strongest signal and you are good to go. There are several web sites that will give you guidance on what direction to point your antenna, just do a web search for antenna direction.

You need to try it at different locations as well as angles (of the antenna) in the room. Run a coax cable to the the other end and try as well. You'll need quite a bit of patience. Good luck.

The antenna will not work with my wilson sleek with out a Different connector on it.

I would replace your coax cable with a secure connection. That should solve your reception problems!
