looking for something to boost my RV Park signal as I am a long way from the hot spot. Will this help? Also I'm running a MAC desktop.

I don't know about the desktop but my Mac laptop I bought, Bear extender 1200! it is absolutely amazing! I didn't know there was that many Wi-Fi's around my neighborhood! also tech-support with them was fabulous

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.

I lived 20 miles from dallas, and the signal quality was not good. Also I tried to move the antenna around to find the right signal strength but still made no difference. I would try to look for an antenna that goes on top of an rv they seem to be better built for distance and signal strength.

Yes, it does work, I am hooked to it right now, or I couldn't pick up wifi. We live in RV resorts that only offer wifi and if u aren't really close to the signal, forget it. I have been hooked to mine now for 3 years. Don't expect really long distances, but a decent range on this thing for sure. Order a longer cord, so you can move it around inside or set it outside. Really have loved mine!!

"with lots of trees in between" could be a problem. I use mine to connect to hot spots at RV sites and at my home from my RV, generally this is line of sight. You would not need a cable modem, the typical setup is a tp link hard wired directly to a Host (laptop, or pc something with a network connector) or to a router at the destination. The router can then provide wifi to the local destination area. Think of it this way: the tp-link boosts the reception and transmission capacity of your destination device, but it ain't magic. 600 feet across a big empty parking lot, no problem. Between two buildings with no obstructions, no problem. Ground level with trees, it might work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't. With the situation as you describe it, you would only need one

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

You could use 2 of these, assuming you have an ethernet jack near the one in the building to make the bridge, however 40 feet isn't much you may be able to use 1 on the wall nearest the rv and get enough signal as an ap

This is not for a stronger signal but the band or type of wifi. If you computer does not get N. The regular bear is for a weak signal. Works on OS X.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

I haven't tried that set up. The signal going in through a good interface shouldn't degrade or distort. If you try this, lets us here how that worked for you.

I'm about 30 yards away and upstairs from my router and I get full strength signal. It's fairly good. Just make sure you use the latest drivers from their website, and not the included disk. Also be sure to set your power settings such that it doesn't turn off USB to save power, and set your USB device settings for full power on your port. This will be best on a USB 3.0 port, but still gets great speed on a 2.0 port.

If your tivo is right next to your antenna source (assuming you use over the air) it will not improve anything. If you tivo is far away from your antenna source, you can use this unit to help recover some of the signal loss if you place it somewhere halfway between your tivo and your antenna source

Only if you have a free WiFi hotspot nearby. I use this while traveling in an RV. Most RV Parks provide free WiFi (secured with a code) and I point it at the WiFi hotspot in the RV park for better reception.

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

I couldn't get it to work at all on mountain lion. One support person confirmed it won't work on Os X at all and the other person assured me it would????I never did find an external modem that would work and ended up using Nextiva.com for my fax.

Seems to be working for me. I have the unit at the end of the home and the computers and cell phones do well at the far end of the home in the Florida room addition which is past the main outside wall to include outside in the screened in porch connected to the Florida Room addition. Have never lost a signal yet. Hope this helps

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.
