Well...if they worked for Cell phones then they might
work on the Wifi...but they don't work at all. As a
matter of fact, I have not found a single passive
repeater to work at all on cell phones. As a result, I
have an active repeater in my car. It captures cell
phone signals inside the car and routes them outside
the car to an external antena at a full .6 watts.
Unfortunatly, it's tuned to the 900MHz band...doesnt'
work on my new AT&T Motorola V60...
