Description
The Hi-Gain Wireless-N Dual Radio Smart Repeater is an advanced Wi-Fi connectivity solution that receives the signal of any 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi network and rebroadcasts it locally within your home or office. The HW2R1 is the flagship product for Hawking's award-winning line of Hi-Gain Wi-Fi range extending products. Using two isolated Wi-Fi radios, the HW2R1 connects to your desired wireless Internet connection, such as a local Wi-Fi hot spot, neighborhood wireless network or office network and repeats the signal via a dedicated 300Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi radio locally. With 3 upgradable Hi-Gain 3dbi omni-directional antennas, the HW2R1 can be outfitted with Hawking Hi-Gain antennas to boost the connection range with outside wireless networks as well as locally within your home or office. The HW2R1 is ideal for Wi-Fi connections to marine docks, RV parks, adjacent offices and homes with Wi-Fi networks or any other source for wireless Internet connection. In addition, the HW2R1 provides security and functionality via a full featured firewall and router. The versatility of the Hi-Gain smart repeater makes it the perfect solution for any wireless application.

Rated 1 out of 5�by leslyons Doesn't Work as Stated!
I have tried for two weeks to get this repeater working properly in terms of distance and speed. It says distance of approx. 400 ft. I have a clear, direct line of sight of approximately 150 ft. from my house to my workshop, and I get a very intermittent signal in terms of both strength and speed (speed is bad!). My Hawking Repeater is sitting about 10 feet from my Verizon JetPak MiFi, so there is no reason it does not get a good source signal. The repeater sits on a table in front of a window that looks directly at my workshop 150 ft. away. There should be NO issue with either speed or distance, yet it struggles with both. VERY frustrating. Hawking "specs" on their PDF comparison sheet are very misleading. I researched thoroughly, and thought I'd made a great choice. Need to find something better.

Rated 1 out of 5�by fish7days Very poor thru-put
Don't waste your money unless you are desperate to have coverage in an area. My downspeed at my router is 30M, and thru my cisco 3000 router is about 22M. Thru the repeater, right next to the router, the speed was only 2M. Not worth the money. Rather spend $100 more and get an Asus RT68U or similar.
