Really wanted this to work

Bymaitaion November 13, 2012

Model: Signal BoosterVerified Purchase

I purchased this item in order to expand my signal throughout my entire house and apartment, as I have a large home with concrete walls (earthquake building code). Super strong house, but wireless really suffers due to all the concrete and steel in the walls.

Sadly the Hawking HSB2 did nothing for me. My signal footprint remained exactly the same. I tried the device on an Asus Router, as well as a Buffalo router.

Regardless of the power setting switch, my signal range remained exactly the same. The installation is idiot proof, almost impossible to install it incorrectly. Simply remove the antenna from your router, and attach the unit to the router with the supplied RMA cable....and you're good to go.

Perhaps I got a faulty device....impossible to tell. In the end I went with a Zyxel Range Extender kit which worked perfectly. So if this device does not work for you.....try this:-

Buy yourself an ethernet range extender kit, and another router...of any sort...it should not matter. Connect one of the range extenders to your primary router's LAN port. Plug the new router into the other Range Extender ethernet port (you can use either the WAN or LAN port on the second router, depending on if you want the second router to establish a subnet). The second router should be installed in the part of your house that suffers from low signal....obviously.

You will be pleased with the result. I only wish I thought of this solution before....I could have saved myself $50. Good luck to all.

Very pleasantly surprised

ByDesert Raton May 20, 2014

Model: Signal BoosterVerified Purchase

We have Verizon FIOS and their router is pretty weak. Our TV is about 40 feet from the router around several corners and when streaming Amazon TV and Netflix, it was frequently re buffering to the point of frustration. I read a review of this booster and decided to try it since I could return it to Amazon if it didn't help. It is tiny and very easy to install. Simply unscrew on of the antennas from the router, and screw the included cable into the router's connector. Plug the unit into AC and you are ready to go. I downloaded a signal measuring app for my iphone and checked the signal with and without the amplifier.

Without the amplifier I get an average of 15mbps at the router and 3.5 at my TV. With the amp. it goes up to 25 at the router and 8-10 at the TV. More importantly, streaming works much better with infrequent re buffering. Highly recommended for this purpose.

Works great with Verizon Fios Router aka Actiontec MI-424 WR

ByDesmondon November 18, 2008

Model: Signal BoosterVerified Purchase

Was super easy to hook up as long as you don't let the enclosed manual confuse you. I simply unscrewed the antenna on the Verizon Router and hooked up the enclosed cable in it's place. One end of the cable screws onto the router, the other screws onto the Hawkins Booster. The booster comes with an antenna but it's quite short so I decided to put the antenna that was on my router onto the Hawkins Booster and the signal strength was greater than using the antenna that comes in the box. You then connect the power supply of the booster and you're good to go. I'm using the booster in a 2600 square foot house with the booster on the first floor towards the center of the house. I checked signal strength on two HD Tivos and noticed that the upstairs Tivo went from 45% signal strength to 60%. My downstairs Tivo went from 55% signal strength to 80%. I'm happy with this result but thought that perhaps I'd get even more signal strength thus my 4 stars. I realize that everyone's home is different and that your results could vary. Also the placement of the booster makes a big difference. Sometimes just moving it a few feet can cause movement up and down. My booster is on a shelf approximately two feet above the router. If you have the Verizon Fios Router and want to boost your signal in an easy way, I highly recommend this booster.

Works on Linksys router

ByErikon January 7, 2011

Model: Signal BoosterVerified Purchase

Ignore the install directions. They wrote the instructions for install on a computers network card with attenna. Most computers don't have attennas on the network card anymore. If you do, then follow directions. Keep in mind if you install the HSB2 on a single computer (instead of router) you will only gain on that single computer.

I installed on my router so all my devices gained signal strength.

Step 1: unplug your router (as precaution)
2: unscrew routers existing antenna
3: connect provided cable to routers antenna port and the HSB2 (you might need an adapter the provided cable is SMA)
4. Screw provided antenna into HSB2
5. Plug in router and HSB2
Optional: select switch on HSB2 for mW output, up to 500
You are done.

I have my router in the basement but get perfect signal two stories up and outside. Prior to installing I would drop signal in certain rooms and outside.

My HSB2 has a slight "electrical" hum. No big deal to me because it's in the basement. It is so faint you need to get your ears about 2 feet away to hear.
