Has anyone had good results w/o an amplifier but with an indoor repeater? I get 3 bars at kitchen window but only 1 in living room and drop calls.

I have had a slight improvement in my reception but. doubt that the improvement is worth the cost.

I live maybe 3 miles past the swinging bridge on jordan rd North,,,I had maybe 2 bars to no bars,, now I have 6 bars in my house as long as your in the room that has the amplifier in,im not getting 4G yet but, with this type of tube antena it goes to what ever is the best signal, so now im working on installing a directional antena,,,but if your just looking for better cell signals for T-Mobil, its sweet.

We have this at the ranch to increase cell phone and wireless signals. Prior to installing this unit we would only get 1 or 2 bars for signal strength. Now we get 4 or 5 bars and no signal issues. To answer your question at any given time there are 5-6 devices using the Wilson Unit with no issues. We had a BBQ at the ranch and had 20-25 cell/smart phones operating on the signal with no complaints.

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.

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!

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

My Winegaurd RFl-342 works real good on boost signal and signal strength. I have a rotor antenna and you can see the different signal strength as you rotate the antenna for best reception and location of Tv repeaters. You will have to have a 12 volt system to power it. I use a 12 volt converter to power it.

The amplifier needs to be placed in the line where there is sufficient signal to amplify. The signal drop will be determined by the length of the run beyond this. I don't think the number of TV's connected matters as much.

Yes a repeater does work, I do have the base extension in a different structure of my property and I am using a repeater to provide a strong WiFi connection. I haven't had any problems

I do use it just for my home. I simply put the antenna on the window sill that provided the best signal. It is working quite well. (One bar improves to 4 bars almost always)

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

You might want to try a cheap amplified antenna. I live in an area where the signals are all weak and got nothing until I connected an indoor amplified antenna and now I get all the stations available.

yes mine works great had similar problem now get 3-5 bar signal strength. Mounted the antenna on top edge of roof chimney and mounted reciever in my sunroof and works great.

I had a simular situation , quick answer would be yes, the beam is a little too directional, but my solution to this would be to get a repeater, there around $20 and if you point this to the repeater you'll get a much wider area to work with. Hope this helps, and just a side bit, I was using this for a rangof about 800' so as for signal you'll have a very strong signal

My folks have the same problem. AM interference. This unit or any other internet radio (with good reviews) is a good solution. Just make sure you set it up and update to the latest firmware. As long as you visit (and you should, lol) every so often to make sure its working right, it should be fine. Another low tech solution is a crane CC radio, which in my experience has superior AM reception. At my folks the issue was some sort of local interference creating a constant hum so CC radio would not help. All your mom would have to do is select the preset, tell her not to mess with the rest of the functions. If she will place it near her router anyways just hardwire it, and avoid some hassles. However I have this set up on the second floor with a dlink dir 655 in the basement and it works great.

I have not used that one but using channel master I am getting signals as far as 70 or more miles with also using signal amp. hope this helps.

You have to set it up where there is at least a 70% signal. So it may not work for you. If I were you I would contact Amped Wireless and find out if they have a device that would work or if they could offer some other suggestions.
