actually, if you use such as the verizon mifi you can get an antenna just for that and then put the antenna near a window, outide in the direction with the most signal etc.. The wilson booster is probably overkill.

It is portable and powerful, but the phone must be right by the internal antenna. If you have bluetooth you will love this. I have seen it take one bar and turn it into 3-4 on a consistent basis.

It should Joyce. The thing that will matter is if your device has an external antenna port, and then the type of plug it takes. For me, it was a matter of the adaptor cable that came with the MiFi hotspot device. It was the correct "plug" type on the end to match what the adaptor cable took which changes it to what the mifi device needed. I now have the 4G broadband router from Vzn and had to buy an adapter to go from FME type plug (what the antenna has) to RMA (mini-coax) which is what the router takes. Hope that helped and didn't confuse the situation more for you ;)

Yes you can. It should be used as the outside "donor" antenna preferably roof mounted to provide as much isolation between it and the inside distribution antenna(s). This directional antenna needs to be orientated toward your carrier's closest cell site which will serve as the donor. Be sure that your signal booster is approved under the new Federal Communications Commission rules for these devices and that you notify the carrier whose signal you will be rebroadcasting in compliance with these rules.

Yes, you can do this (configure it as a wifi client and it can re-broadcast a local wifi network). However, as it's very small, the antennas aren't great - you would be much better off using a purpose-built wifi range extender

Yes, we have our's set up on the home WiFi. If you mean a portable WiFi hotspot, I'm sure you can do that as well.

Can you provide more detail of what you are wanting to do with this Antenna? I used it for an external Antenna to increase my Wireless reception.

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.

if you look on the back of your mifi there are actually 2 ports, one for the charger and there is one for this antenna. it wont give you full bars but it should give you a couple and that should keep you online

Not enuff info, camera inside? monitor in same building or other? U will likely need two antennas, probably not as powerful as airgrid.

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.

As long as you're in range of an available network, that should be fine. My husband's job takes him to more secluded locations, so he uses the 3G when he's in those areas. Plus, his office only has a wired network, not wireless, so he can't connect at his office. Be sure to check whether you'll be able to get onto a network when you're killing time, obviously you'll need it for any surfing!

EASILY -Just plug one of these into any USB port (front or back): Etekcity Wireless N WiFi Dongle / Network Adapter, Dual 6dBi Antenna, 4-feet Mini USB Cable (2.4GHz, 300Mbps)Done deal. Works FANTASTIC.- Ron

This antenna is more powerful than the built-in card in your computer, and can be aimed via the antennae. Hook this up to your computer, then turn off the built-in one (so they don't compete with each other). It (this particular one or similar) will pick up the signal from a modem (or whatever) better than what you have. In other words, this powered usb wifi receiver with extenal antennae is stronger and better equipped to pull in the wifi than a built-in card. In general, I would recommend a trusted 6-foot (or so) usb cable for ease in positioning it for maximum convenience and effectiveness. Good luck.

The website says:"With MIMO (multiple input, multiple output antennas) technology, it shows more excellent abilities of mitigating data loss over long distances and through obstacles in a small office or a large apartment, even in a steel-and-concrete building. Above all, you could easily pick up the wireless network during long-distance connection where legacy 11g products may not!" Mines connected to my upstairs PC on the other end of the house from where our router is. This thing picks up full signal with ~40mb/s download speeds and is about 45-50ft away.

"it is clearly not really meant to be portable but you could use it this way. To be clear though you will not get any better connection than you get wherever you set up the extender... So if you have a good connection by the desk but want to browse from the bed I guess this could be helpful. "

Absolutely. But if your service is weak at home, since you are in a fixed location, you should put up a directional antenna that points straight at the tower. The sticks are really made for mobile situations.
