Does this product has a way of positioning when working as a wireless repeater ? I mean any direction to keep. Also lay flat or upright ?

One can use it either laying flat or standing. It comes with a small swiveling tab on one side that allows it to stand upright. But if all you are looking for is a repeater this may not be the product to buy. This is more of a travel router that can also be used with a cellular modem or to allow one wireless connection in a hotel to be shared with several devices.

'Working' will be location by location. Could certainly work horizontal but key is to place where your particular reception is best... Hope this helps?

I have not used it as a wi-fi repeater (retransmitting wifi signal to extend its range), and don't think it is capable. However, it works great using it to connect my old xbox 360 (wired connection only) to my wi-fi network. I did have to run the setup program twice, though. First time failed, second time worked perfect.

The antenna IS NOT directional like an old roof top TV antenna. The antenna is just 3 OR 4 inches long and I have it standing straight up. Though, I suppose it could remain in the horizontal position. Bottom line -- if your WIFI signal is reasonably strong you should get reception. Remember, the signal is digital. So you will either get reception or not. There is no "in between". I just bought my second TTR1 a week ago. Good product for $50.00. Enjoy! Cal.

I just looked at the back of my radio and the cord. The design of the cord doesn't allow it to lay flat; much like computer cords. Check to see/find an adaptor or different cord that fits and lays flat; b4 radio shack closes or perhaps Best Buy...

I placed mine inside on an outer wall. Be careful not to connect it upside down. It has inside/outside antenna ends. I ran a ground wire for it out the wall.

Radio transmitters are Vertical, Mounting the antenna horizontally would result in a loss of signal strength at the antenna. But it would work to some degree.

My experience is that position does not seem to make a difference in the pick up of Wi-Fi transmissions.But I operate the unit at work in a high rf wifi area, so I do not have experience in any fringe reception areas.Like any IP device, it works better on a hard line connection.

Nop But I use some Velcro and problem solve and it better because depending on the location of the house u put it and where u have it wifi it should be place in different position so u don't hace connection problems

It needs something behind it to be effective. That being said, it works well then. I'm using it right now, and I have it turned upside down! It depends how I am sitting or laying down how I use it. The fact that it is not flat, like a pillow for instance, means that it can be put in lots of different positions.I like its small size and flexibility. I generally use my own thinking to make things be the way I want them to!

After initiallizing your wifi repeater, you can hide your SSID from broadcasting. I personally found out in my unit when I did this, it would emit a weaker signal. I also recommend changing your router channel to 1 or 6 or 11 for a more stable setup.

It is adjustable and it will lay flat. Make sure when you get it, to add loctite blue and tighten all connection.

It has 2 positions about 45 and 70 degrees. It might be possible to usei laying nearly flat, but I would use my wireless keyboard.

there are things called wireless repeaters, but i found a better solution, albeit, expensive.i bought a powerline adapter and a wireless access point to extend my range. ended up costingme over 200 bucks, but i now have a reliable signal.

It's not a hot spot or a repeater. It' designed to give you wireless when theres only a network cable available .

Anthony - as I was researching this question when I started using my receiver, the answer was - horizontally. Make sure you hang it as close to a window as possible. I also found that I had to experiment with the orientation (N/S/E/W) to get the best signal. Where I am located, the south end of my house works best. Hope this helps!

Hey, Mo from Bamboosa here. We do feel that the Lap Log works best if you are slightly reclined instead of lying flat on your back. The Lap Log does not really 'elevate' your device so in a totally flat position you would have bend your neck somewhat to get a good viewing position which may not be comfortable for everyone.
