Will this unit push the signal down a floor to the basement? I would like to boost signal on both floors.

That might depend on the construction of the building. Concrete floors and walls are more formidable than wood. That being said, you may see some improvement in the signal, but not the same level that you will experience when on the same floor. There is an internal booster available for an additional charge.

Yes, in all directions, even outside. We have had ours for about 10 years. We love it.

No it won't. It is 99% passive. (Note: anytime you add connectors or cable to any installation you can suffer signal loss. However this is not even measurable on this device).

I would have to say no. It is pretty directional, maybe 20 degree spread depending on strength of signal. Works good!

I don't think so. This is used to boost an already existing signal such as pushing a cable TV signal to your garage or a location other than the immediate area.

No...it will not pick up and boost the signal. I am only 3 miles from the tower with a small ridge between us and it won't boost the signal.

I have this hooked up to a car amp. it will not let any signal thru when all the way down. but you can slowly rise the signal to what ever you want.

It depends on distance between house and garage. It needs a signal to work.

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

It does not boost the signal, however I am now running about 50 ft of antenna cable and there is no loss of signal with the added 20 ft

I have mine mounted on the wall of a 3 car garage (inside). It reaches most of the two story with walkout basement house fine, as well as the backyard and pool area. I get a weak signal in an adjacent shop building, and use an amped range booster set up for the ubiquiti to feed my computer there. With that in mind, saw no need to mount it outside as I had initially planned.

yes you can use this antenna to improve the signal and it can significantly boost your signal about roughly 20-30 more yards than what your factory antenna can. If you house is horizontally with rooms and TV's and microwaves and other electronics interfering with the signal then expect bad signal response. I have tried it with router down stairs west wall to up stairs far east wall with chimney in the way and it still works great. my friends tap off my wireless router 3 houses down the street with 70% signal still. I would recommend this product highly. My first one I bought was defective but my second one works great. remember doesn't improve internet speed just signal. most people forget or just didn't know.

It will work, but you may get only a limted number channels depending on your area. Also, I am not sure if will pick a good signal in a basement.

All I can say is that I have two of these and in each room they get different channels. I don't get all that one does in the other room. Being in a basement, The signal may be a bit weak. Best that I can answer.

Julie, that is why I installed the product. With a metal roof, I had no signal. This is supposed to extend/boost the signal. After I had mine installed, I have signal in my basement! Now there was an app " Open Signal" that I used to find where to install the antenna to get the best strength. So, I would say he didn't install it correctly. Mine works well and so does my sons and one of my clients installed his in a shop with a metal roof to get a signal. Have him come back to install properly!

Yes, as long as you can get a signal it will help for a stronger signal. It did for me.

It will strengthen the signal that you are distributing through you house. I do not know how well it will work in your situation, but it should make marginal signals better..

I had it inside on the first floor testing, it worked but the signal strength was greatly impacted. But my closest tower is about 35 miles away also, being on the second floor will help but you will more than likely be better off if you can get it in the attic at minimum.
