If it's not in the 192.168.2.n range then panic - or post again If, as I imagine, you will have an IP address in the correct range, then open a browser and browse to. It should show you Status, signal strength etc and also the IP address you have been given. You can check this by going to Settings / Wi-Fi and then clicking on the signal to which you're connected.
It looks as though it will give you an IP address in the 192.168.2.n range. If you can see it, connect your Nexus to it via wireless exactly as you do elsewhere. Imagine where you're moored that you won't have difficulty identifying it It looks as though it will be called "R36". So,using your tablet wi-fi, if your router is powered up, can you "see" the wireless signal from the router ? If you ignore the internet to start with, hook the kit together with the USB cable and make contacting the router your first step it should help. I don't quite understand how you got your laptop to talk to the kit ? Did you assign an IP address or go via the router ? My thoughts are that if I know what I’m supposed to be looking at by picking up the house wifi signal then I should be able to recognise what I need to look for when I’m on the boat.Ĭlick to expand.As JimKing says, you need to attach the tablet wirelessly to the router. I should add that I’m now back in the comfort of my home and use a BT Broadband router to get my wifi within the house. I tried contacting ALFA and to give them their due they were happy to help, but their command of the English language is so poor that I couldn’t understand any of their instructions!Ĭan anyone help please? And although it looks like I know what I’m talking about, I’m not really all that sure what I’m doing so any answers in layman’s terms please. I’ll worry about the router once I’ve got the tablet wifi reception sorted out.
#Alfa network booster download#
On the Pcap website it says I need to download “Wireshark” but looking at Wireshark’s video guide the stuff it’s showing me is way over my head and I’m totally lost. I’ve downloaded “Pcap Capture” and that’s giving me lots of “packets”, but I haven’t got a clue how I change packets into working wifi on the tablet. Ignoring the Router for the moment, I’m just using the signal booster plugged in to the Nexus.
Going into “settings”, playing with the wifi connections availability doesn’t do anything to the incoming boosted signal. (The Tablet is much more convenient to use on the boat than the laptop).įor those that don’t know, the AWUS036H booster receives wifi from an outside signal and then transfers data through a USB cable into the Nexus. Specifically, getting wifi into the Nexus 10. I can get the system working using a laptop but I’m totally stuck trying to get it working using my Nexus 10 tablet. After reading posts on this and the Scuttlebutt forums I bought an ALFA AWUS036H signal booster (a much bigger omni direction aerial, but that’s not important at the moment) and because I wanted the wifi to be available all over the boat an ALFA 36 Router. There are two sources of wifi available but at a very low to non-existent signal strength. I’m based on a swinging mooring in Arisaig.
