Apple wifi booster

What is a good wifi amplifier that I can use with my ipad2 and iPhone 6 plus, when we are staying in RV parks? They offer wifi, but the signal is weak, fades in and out and is extremely slow. What can I do to make this wifi signal stronger, beside moving closer to tower?

Hi try a Device called T P LINK about £25.00 in uk just plugs into mains socket. Cheers Brian

Wifi booster

In the room where cable modem/LinkSys router are installed, I get >15 Mbps download on iPad, but iMac (10.7.4) gets <3, sometimes <1. More than likely the home security system is interfering (it's located between the two). Is there a particular/preferred wifi booster that would work with my Apple equipment? Thanks.

Multimedia over Coax Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) is a trade group promoting a specification they have developed that uses coaxial cables to connect consumer electronics and home networking devices in homes. It allows both data communication and the transfer of audio and video streams.
MoCA was established in 2004 to promote the whole home distribution of high definition content over the existing coaxial cabling. MoCA Ethernet bridges can be used to supply network and multimedia connectivity to a TV, computer, game console, laptop, etc. while devices with integrated MoCA support can interface directly without the use of an adapter. Coaxial cable is resistant to interference and outlets are generally found in rooms intended for TV viewing.
The current MoCA specification can support multiple streams of HD video, deliver up to 800 Mbit/s net throughputs and offer consistent throughput via parameterized quality of service (PQoS).[1]
Can take advantage of existing home coax wiring if available
As a wired standard, does not compete with wireless networks for spectrum use
Can provide uplink network connectivity to wireless access points
PQoS for managed bandwidth
Products integrating MoCA technology are found in the service provider, custom installer and consumer/retail channels.[2] Applications:

Netgear wifi booster for my IPad

I'm trying to setup a netgear wifi booster for my IPad but it won't communicate connect to the internet

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

WiFi Booster or WiFiFoFum?

Is there a similar application such as WiFi Booster or WiFiFoFum?
These two applications are no longer on the iTunes Store.

The TC is a wireless router with a built in hard drive. It can operate as a router only, or a hard drive only, or both a router and hard drive.
The TC can wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" a wireless signal that is produced by another Apple router, but if the TC is used with a 3rd party router or modem/router, the TC must connect to that device using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.

Scan to computer not working after installing wifi booster

working with windows 7 and hp 6515 - just installed a power booster and printer no longer finds computer when try to scan to computer

Hi @Eflyer,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your scan to computer is no longer working after installing a wifi booster, with your HP Photosmart 6515, on Windows 7. I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
Please see the following:
This YouTube video on extending the wireless signal. Extending Wireless Network Range.
This scanning guide, A 'No computer found' Message Displays during Scanning.
Most likely it just needs to be reconnected to the proper network.
Hope these guides help, and have a good day!

Any speed difference between Apple Wifi Router(air express) and Tp link(or others) wifi router)

Any speed difference between Apple Wifi Router(air express) and Tp link(or others) wifi router?
I'm using a tp link router and sometimes it takes a long time delay for my 2 mac computers to connect each other. I don't know this is because of the router compability or the computers.

Anyone knows?

What is a good WiFi Booster?

My wife and I do a lot of traveling in a travel trailer. Most RV Parks offer free WiFi connections but the signals are too weak. We are interested in buying a WiFi booster to use with my MacBook Pro (late 2009) and my iPad 2.
Dose any one have experience with WiFi boosters and can offer some suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Wifi can only travel so far and then it starts tapering off in signal strength and other factors of interference, metal structures, the environment etc. start reducing your signal.
You can get better reception in some cases with extra devices on your end, but the real cure is and or all of:
1: move your computer closer to the source of the signal
2: extend the signal source so it's closer to you (OpenMesh)
3: boost the source power to extend it's range (Wifi booster)
4: reduce interference (outside attenna)
Basically your at the mercy of the trailer park. Some can't handle a lot of people on the network at the same time, so they only allow wifi access at the main station to reduce the users.
Now it's good if your at a top of the line park with powerful fast connections and Openmesh strung through the park giving a awesome signal that you can watch Netflix 24/7, but that's unlikely traveling.
Your likely going to get dial up like speeds at the main station in rutal locations.
If you really want something better, you need to get a laptop connect USB from your local cell phone carrier, then you can get the Internet just about anywhere.

How: Extend a non-Apple wifi signal with Airport Express

I have a Wifi modem provided by the ISP, Tiscali [Italy] unrelated to Apple. I want to use my AE to extend the signal to another part of the house. The Tiscali router was set up with WPA2. I have Airport Utility 5.6.1 [yah, I know, old; haven't moved up from OS 10.8.5 either, MBk Pro] and the Airport Express is MC414Z\A C86L9K02DV3R. Opening the A Util w the AE powered up [yellow light showing] I immediately saw the AE listed at the left, but now that I go back to the Utility and rescan, it doesn't find the AE, altho Airport is one and lists that AE showing a full signal, properly calling it "gatti.11n." Your advice would be most appreciated and likely will be helpful to many others saddled with a non-Apple wifi router.

Apple AirPorts cannot wirelessly "extend" a signal from a third party product. They can only wirelessly "extend" a signal from another Apple router. Another way of saying the same thing is that if you want to wirelessly extend a network using an Apple router, you need two Apple routers.
You have two options:
Option 1. Add another AirPort Express and install it close to the ISP modem/router using an Ethernet cable and configure the Express to 'create" a wireless network. Then, your other AirPort Express can wirelessly extend the signal from the first AirPort Express. The "extending" Express will need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the first Express.
Option 2. If you cannot run the Ethernet cable....or....you do not want to add another AirPort Express, then a pair of Ethernet Over Powerline (EOP) adapters might be able to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home. These products are also sometimes called HomePlug adapters.
The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place.....you just need the adapters. In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest. So, if you decide to try a pair of these adapters, then it would be good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.
Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of EOP adapters. Ask the salesman what type and brand that he would recommend.

Can i use apple wifi for my iphone 4, Can i use apple wifi for my iphone 4

Of course. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi

Why does it seem that Apple Wifi products are simply not that good?

Hello,
I purchased an AP Extreme base station about 4 months ago. To say that I am under-whelmed would be an understatement. I was not impressed with the AP Express I purchased as well. It seems that the products simply do not live up to the expectations. From the other manufactures, I had no such problems as:
1. Constant drop outs.
2. Lose of signal when the base station was sitting right next to the computer.
3. Low signal when the base station was sitting right next to the computer.
4. No connectivity and trouble joining the network when the base station was sitting next to the computer.
I have been patient, applied the upgrades (seem to make things even worse if that is possible), and still I feel cheated by Apple because their products simply do not work as advertised. This leads me to think that the 802.11N will also be a money pit. As I type this, the signal is completely gone between my AP Extreme and MBP 17 inch. Gone and the AP E is sitting less than 4 meters away. I have changed frequencies, changed positions (remember, I located it less than 4 inches away and it still could not find or had limited signal strength), done everything possible that I can think of. If anyone has a suggestion other than buying anymore Apple wifi products, I would greatly appreciate this.
I have taken the new 802.11N off the table to purchase, I would suggest others do the same. They simply do not work as Apple promised.

Sorry Steve,
I realized I did not answer your question. I have one of the new one's. Core Duo 2's. What are you doing to help your friend? I am willing to do anything now. I have repositioned my AP Extreme, changed channels, reduced power, sacrificed a goat, ran around the house three times and howled at the moon. Nothing seems to work. My wife's iBook (PPC) works like a champ. Strong signal no matter when she goes with it.

USB wifi booster

Can anyone recommed a USB WIFI booster that works well with the mac book pro?
Brett

I googled and came here. It's hard to find good info. I use an RT8187 chipset one but realtek no longer support or update the mac driver, the installer file crashes, and although it's possible to get it working, it's hard to recommend it to non-geeks (and annoying enough to use if you are a geek as you need to have to periodically reboot, at least on my system).
what have people used that worked flawlessly?

Wifi booster, Wifi booster

My MacBook Pro won't recognise the wifi booster we have but recognises our homehub and connects with no problems. Can anyone help, thanks!

What is the make & model of your "Wi-Fi booster?"

WiFi Booster Compatability

I have a Motorola combo router/modem, and would like to get a WiFi Booster.
Will the airport express base station work with my Internet setup? If I have a second laptop that is Windows-based, will that get a better, uninterrupted wireless boost, as well?
Or, should I get the same brand (Motorola) of a booster, for better results?
Thanks for any help.

Hey Chris, I was having the EXACT same disconnection problem you're having. After talking to a gazillion people, I finally got the right answer from a guy at work (He was an IT Private Consultant who played on my craps table..), and the funniest thing about it was how simple the answer was. What is most likely causing your problem is the channel that you have the router set on. Most routers have a minimum of 11 channels to choose from and some channels, usually the default channel, are being used by most of the people who live around you and have a wireless setup like you. Go into your settings and set the channel at 11 and see how that goes. Then, if you're still having the same problem, systematically go down one channel every couple of days until you find the problem's fixed.
I hope this helps :-)
Oh yeah, if you're using a laptop, make sure you stay out of the kitchen because microwaves play havoc on WIFI...
Good Luck!!

How does one use airport express to extend a non-Apple wifi network?

Hello. The wifi signal reaching my room shows good on my macbook but weak on my ipod touch. Therefore I want to pick it up on my airport express and extend/boost it.
I have tried everything in the auto and manual methods of setup to do this, but the only thing I can manage to do is to join a wireless network wirelessly and then then connect to it through a ethernet cable from my airport express. I want to pick it up wirelessly and extend it wirelessly - is this possible? This is the reason why I bought it!
thanks a lot, JJ

Thanks for that info. So, I have been trying to use my airport express n to extend an airport n network (for greater distance of coverage) and cannot get this to work either. I can join the other apple airport's network and then connect to the airport express by cable. I have tried all the help available here but that seems to be the only way to extend a network. But I cannot see any point in that! JJ
