Using Antenna Booster on AEBS

I have the AEBS model just before this new one just released. So, it's not the "N" one. It is relatively new (within a year). I was looking at getting a QuickerTek Antenna power booster for the AEBS which boosts the wattage up to ten times the amount of the AEBS. The product explanation says "This product is designed especially for Apple's Airport Extreme wireless systems and allows the maximum power output allowed by the FCC. Apple wireless products have an RF output of 30mW; while our Transceiver pumps out 500mW."
Supposedly that's supposed to go 1/2 miles - line of sight. So, I was figuring that for my house and yard, I wouldn't have to use any other extenders to boost the signal around my place -- but simply use this one device for boosting the signal all over the place.
The question is -- has anyone used them and how does it work with the AEBS (i.e., work nicely with it, or perhaps stress it and shorten the life, or whatever?). And does it really extend the range that far?
And any other considerations?
Anyway, anyone have any answers? Thanks...

Over the years the posts from people using an
external antenna have provided mixed results. Some
report improvement but just as many report
disappointment. I think it depends highly on your
exact scenario and you won't know the results until
you try.
Okay, thanks for recounting the previous experiences here, since I haven't kept up on that topic. However, if anyone else wants to comment from their experience, please do so.
And also (to anyone else), please note that this antenna boosts the power to 500 mW. I might be somewhat doubtful of good results with simply an antenna and no power boost but with a power boost of over ten times the original power of the AEBS, I would hope that would have some very significant effect. I was hoping that someone has experience with the "power boosting" part of this equation. Anyone...?

    There is no such thing for the iPad AFAIK.  You could, however, get a signal booster for your wireless router.

    Is there a device to use to boost the verizon signal so that I can get more than 1 bar on my JetPack in rural Tenn?

        Beyondrural, I understand that you need reliable coverage. We sell network extenders http://bit.ly/AKkC for home use, but this wouldn't be feasible for a network extender as you would need cable, DSL, or FiOS internet. Are you having problems only inside your house or the whole area? If inside your home, you may also want to consider HomeFusion http://bit.ly/SEW00I as it includes a cantenna that sits on the outside of your house. What city and state is this?

  • Can I use a "booster" antenna from a WAP54G on a WAP300N?

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum.
    I had a old WAP54G that was going wonky after a number of years. Considering everyone in the hosue has updated their computers (and smartphones), I decided to get a new N type access point for the family side of things (the WAP300N).
    Now the question: I have a pair of antenna, about 7" long, that I got when I originally purchased the 54G. Can I use these antenna on the WAP300N? My understanding is that it's more about the protocol than the frequency, so the longer antenna should work and would help extend my range. Is that right??
    Thanks!

    The WAP300N antenna are different with the old WAP54G antenna. The WAP300n is using a RSMA connector while the WAP54G is using  TNC connector.

  • Models that turn off integrated antenna when using antenna jack.

    I am looking for a cell phone that has an external antenna jack AND will turn off the integrated antenna when the external jack is inserted. Lets define the term " integrated" as being an internal antenna or the permanent attached external or nub style. This can be on the market now or on the used market. The Treo line, even the old ones, is my primary interest but only because i have tried them and I could check email. Any HP/Palm model cell phone would be fine even if it is only available on the used ebay market. Knowing what models DO and DO NOT have an external jack and knowing what ones WILL and WILL NOT turn off the antenna next to my head will help me narrow down my options. So knowing a model will not do as I want is just as valuable. Thanks for the help. Pete I try to buy local. With cell phones that is hard for obvious reasons. HP has many workers in my hometown so i will support them first. If you can think of a non-HP or PALM company that offers this option please let me know and I will add it to the backup list.
    Post relates to: Palm Pilot

    Set all destinations to always ask and select no whenever the phone gives you a request, set Maps to offline, and set location to just use intergrated GPS. By the way, just been to Portugal using Vodafone and data charges only about £5 for week, and they've just improved allowances, may be worth checking your service providers web site and see if it's necessary to bother about data roaming, they all tend to follow each other, and Data roaming charges in europe seem to be coming down !

  • Can my old IPhone be used to boost ram on a PC or Mac?

    Well, I have an old iPhone 3GS and soon enough this 4 will be retired as well. That being said I know that both of these devices are still quite worthy of use in various functions. I wouldn't get anything for turning them back into the store and I hope to re-use them in a different way. So my question is could I use my old phones to boost ram temporarily on my computer? I haven't found too many helpful resources for repurposing old iPhones and I love the devices.

    You can use the old iPhones as iPods. You cannot use them as RAM for
    a computer.

  • Debugging a sourcecode that uses Antenna's "preprocessing" feature.

    I wonder if there's a way to use Eclipse(or any other IDEs) to debug(stepping through, set breakpoints, etc.) a code that look something like this:
    //#ifdef conditionA
    public class Screen implements Runnable
    //#else
    public class Screen implements Runnable, CommandListener
    I tried searching Eclipse's documentation for "preprocess" but found nothing.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can I use an old AEBS as a range extender?

    All I want to do is get it working so that my TV and BR Player can have internet access for firmware updates (and in the case of the TV, program and other software updates) so it doesnt matter if its going to be a bit slower than the rest of the network.  I'm currently using the current model AEBS in another room in the house, and really dont particularly want to have ethernet cables draped down the corridors.  I did plug in the old one (2003 vintage IIRC, its the one with the built in dialup modem: A1034) but my MBP could not see it to set up... ?need older airport utility?
    Anyway, it may be its not worth bothering, maybe better to just get an aiport express... or something over powerline... its just that I already have the older AEBS, and hoped to put it to good use.
    All advice and recommendations gratefully received

    Unfortunately, that older AEBS will not do what you want....even if you manage to find it in AirPort Utility.
    A "new" Express could be configured to "extend" a wireless network to provide more wireless coverage and both Ethernet ports would be available for Ethernet devices.....since the Express is configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup. If you need more ports, you can add an Ethernet switch.
    But then, you might be up to the price of a new AEBS....which could also be configured to "extend" and you would have 4 Ethernet ports available.
    Powerline could work as well. Hard to say...since the performance of EOP devices varies tremendously. This is one of those times when you won't know if something will work until you try....so it would be wise to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

  • SOLUTION TO Time Capsule and extend wireless network using AEBS, Printers..

    Hello GUYS
    I find the solution: at least I have extended wireless using TC and old AEBS.
    : well everybody have same problems to initialize second AEBS, and set it up.
    OK follow this steps:
    put next to each other TC (time capsule) and AEBS (airport extreme) -> switch AEBS off
    If you followed installation TC correctly it should work without any problem.
    SETING UP TC PART 1
    pres in finder Command + Shift + U =then click Airport utility
    set your TC with manual.
    On piece of paper record Airport ID:
    Click on TIME CAPSULE
    I recommend change name not to use deffault long name for TC. Simply call it TC if you want. Set password.
    In wireless. Write a name of your Network, keep it simple TC627 what ever. Write it down on paper. security WPA2 personal and password.
    Update. and close utility
    End of part 1
    Part 2:
    AEBS setup.
    Switch AEBS on: No need to switch off TC
    Press reset button for more than 5 sec. so everything is restore to factory settings.
    -> in the bar top click wireless and select AEBS. You have to do this otherwise Airport utility will not recognise AEBS.
    When you are done. Command shift U
    Click airport utility. and manual setup.
    -> write down the Airport ID.
    Set up your AEBS, name something simple so you know what it is. Password and security.
    Here do yourself favor use the same passwords as on TC and security.
    NOW ->
    click Wireless.
    *Wireless network has to be same as on TC.*( it is on the paper)
    Select Participate in wireless network
    Radio mode b,g compatible or only N it is up to you.
    I setup WPA2Personal again with the same password( same on TC)
    Click WDS
    Select WDS remote
    select Allow wireless clients
    and now write the TC airport ID into WDS main: number (it is on your paper)
    Update.
    switch off utility.
    no go to right top and change airport back to TC.
    Go to manual
    Click Wireless:
    Select Participate in WDS Network
    Click WDS: wds mode to Main
    allow wireless clients: and write into WDS remotes AEBS ID, (it is on the paper).
    and update.
    both airports will restart.
    and you are extended.
    You made it. Go to Utility Cmd,shift, U and you should be able to see both airports.
    Now what you have to do is to take AEBS to different place.
    Put it somewhere in second room. Go back to your computer. Leave it for couple of minutes. 10 -15 is ok.
    to make sure your TC can find AEBS. If not TC will indicate by flashing green and orange. = >AEBS has to be closer.
    correct is that TC has still green light.
    Before you start with time machine: read what files to include
    hope it helps.

  • Using Boost features in CS3

    I am working on porting an plugin from CS5 to CS3 on a MAC, this plugin uses some features of boost libary. So when i try to compile the plugin in CS3 i get a no of linking errors related to boost, however the plugin builds successfully in CS5.
    So i looked into the sdk and found that the CS5 sdk in fact ships with frameworks of boost like boost_regex.framework and also have a ASLSupportLib.dylib which are missing in the CS3 sdk. So my question is how do i get the libraries of boost to link with a CS3 plugin, do i have to build the boost libraries myself or there is some other way to do it.
    And if indeed i have to build the boost library how do i do it, in this scenario i have the following queries
    1. Can i use the boost source files shipped with sdk to generate the lib, if so how.
    2. If i need to get the source from internet which version of boost shall i build to be compatible with CS3 plugin.
    Please guide me as to how i can get around this problem,
    Thanks
    -Manan

    Hi
    In CS3 boost regex libraries are named libboost_regex-mt-1_33.dylib and libboost_regex-mt-d-1_33.dylib

    OK, I tried latest version of CC from Sun Studio 12 update 1 and can say that
    - the error about constructor not being accessible is Sun C++ compiler "feature" (only called feature because it existed for so long) that allows binding of rvalues to non-const references; this "feature" will probably be turned off in the next release. It can't be changed in a patch because client's code might rely on it.
    - the other errors are also not Boost-specific: the result of incompatibility of Linux headers and Sun C++ compiler; more thorough investigation is due, but in the past we had several problems like this. This particular can be solved by adding
    -D_GNU_SOURCE to compile line.

  • Using boost asio in JVMTI?

    Hi,
    This is probably a long shot, but I'm going to try and ask anyway. I've got an
    application in which I have to do some profiling of Java software. The profiler
    has to communicate with a client via sockets (may sound strange, but that's the
    way it is). At any rate, I wanted to make the code as portable as possible, so I
    started trying to use the boost asio libraries. Here's the thing, I can get my
    profiler to start just fine as long as I don't #include <boost/asio.hpp>. As
    soon as I do that, the agent won't load. Here is a very simple example program:
    //standard header files.
    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <iostream>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    //#include <boost/asio.hpp>
    #include "jni.h"
    #include "jvmti.h"
    /** all callbacks must be extern C */
    extern "C" {
    JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved) {
         std::cout << "Agent loaded..." << std::endl;
         return JNI_OK;
    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm) {
         std::cout << "Agent unloaded..." << std::endl;
    }The above works fine, but if I uncomment the #include <boost/asio.hpp>, it dies
    with the standard (uninformative) JVMTI error. Here is my linking command (using
    mingw on windows XP).
    g++ -LC:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\lib -LE:\boost\boost_1_38_0\stage\lib
    -static-libgcc -shared -Wl,-soname=Tester,--kill-at -oTester.dll src\stdafx.o

    Any ideas? Am I missing a library? Thanks.

    I discovered the problem: I'm linking with g++ from mingw on windows. mingw, for some reason, builds the libraries as .lib files where g++ expects .a files. So, it wasn't linking properly. I had to rename all of my .libs to .as
