Known for its Wi-Fi enhancing products like the, is demonstrating its new no-frills Edge Wi-Fi extender for iOS devices, Macs, and other electronic devices at Macworld. Compatible with 802.11n networks, the easy-to-use Edge is a long range Wi-Fi boosting device that is able to plug into an outlet in any room where existing Wi-Fi signal is weak. Unlike its previous boosting products that were limited to Macs, the Edge is BearExtender's first product that is compatible with iOS devices like the iPad and the iPhone.

Both Macs, PCs, and iOS devices can connect to the BearExtender Edge through a simple setup screen with no software to install. Edge will ship in the summer of 2014, and interested customers can to sign up for a notification when it is available. Though pricing has yet to be announced, BearExtender says the Edge's price will be in line with its BearExtender Turbo device, at approximately $70, which is a bit cheaper than Apple's Airport Express. Update 2:36 PM PT: This article has been updated to clarify that the Edge is not 802.11ac compatible as originally stated. I use an older BearExtender product to get my internet signal from my home to a workshop that's across my property.

It does more than just improve wifi range in a home or office. It has a long-range antenna that allows me to get a strong signal very far from my router. Previously, it needed to be connected to a Mac to accomplish this.

By that I mean you connect the Mac to the BearExtender by USB and then use the Mac to share the internet connection. It looks like this new device cuts out the need to run the software on a Mac, and allows for long-range wifi reception without an intermediary device.

So, because the old BearExternders connected via USB, iOS devices couldn't connect to them. That's why this new-fangled model holds itself out as being compatible with iOS. At least that's my understanding of it.

If so, excellent. No need to keep an old Mac Mini in my workshop to act as a glorified router. (The reason I did this to start with was to avoid running conduit and ethernet over 500 feet.

Since the effective distance for ethernet is what? 300 feet without some kind of amplifier?).

The BearExtender Wi-Fi Booster can connect through clip onto a laptop, and it also connects through USB from the mini USB port on the Device to the USB port on a laptop or a netbook. The clip itself (which makes the BearExtender Wi-Fi Booster resemble a mini access point) looks rather odd, but there is also an approximately eight-inch long. Use our specially designed 10 foot mini USB active repeater extension cable to place BearExtender next to a window or away from appliances, metal objects.

I have used the Bear Extender (BE). I use it when I'm away from the house and my local/house ISP service. For example when I'm in a hotel without WiFi, I always try to first use my built-in MPB Wifi transceiver and see what networks are available.

I'll get a list of 4 or 5 networks to show up and hopefully at least one is unlocked (e.g. Restaurant, other hotel, careless person, etc.). If there are none or the signals are too weak, I get out the BE. When I use the BE I'll get 10 to 15 networks to show up. And the ones I got before will show a much stronger signal (more bars). With the BE I can tap into networks based in hotels/restaurants that are MUCH farther away.

Comparing this to the Airport Express is Apples vs Oranges. Highly recommended!!! (for WiFi parasites everywhere.:cool:). I am totally speculating. I was just on their web page trying to find some answers to those questions, because I immediately had them too. Here is what I can gather, with no indication (that I can find) of the real answers to my questions, but here it goes.

Question 1) What makes this compatible with IOS devices vs their other products? Speculated Answer 1) Their other products use a USB port to connect. Their other products replace the built-in wifi radios. One of their existing products amplifies incoming and outgoing signal and the other one is built for speed. But both are USB devices. The Edge is not.

It's a standalone device. Additionally, I am guessing they are going to release software to manage it via an IOS device, as well as for the Mac. Edit: I'm not sure about the management software. The article says it can be managed without installing software.

So maybe it's a web page or something when you connect to it. Question 2) Why Macs and IOS devices? Why not PC compatible as well? Speculated Answer 2) I'm guessing it will be compatible with PC devices as well, but the management, at least initially, will probably be for the Mac and IOS devices. Edit: Good question.

I would think it should work with a PC if there's nothing special about software. Hopefully it does. Question 3) Why is this device so special? What does it do that an Airport Express doesn't do already? Speculated Answer 3) Again, I'm guessing that this will function like two Airport Expresses connected together via a cable, with one acting as a wireless client, and the other as an access point, re-broadcasting the connection to local wireless clients. You can set up one of their existing products like this, but it requires the local radio in a computer to rebroadcast the network for local wireless devices. I have personally set up two airport expresses like this.

If I could get it in one device and managed easily, that would awesome. I just want to re-iterate. My answers are TOTAL SPECULATION with no facts to back them up. It would be cool to get confirmation but the info available is pretty limited. Hopefully that helps.Tom Edit: It looks like GeekLawyer backed up one of my guesses.

Sorry GeekLawyer. I was typing my message so I didn't see yours until after I posted it. Did you actually go to the company's website? What makes this 'iOS compatible?' WiFi is just WiFI. Are they really just saying that now they have an iOS app for configuration?

There was a more lengthy reply to this, but let me summarize: Their previous products were USB-based, and functioned by extending the signal range of the DEVICE, not the strength and coverage of the NETWORK. Because their previous products were USB-based, they could not work with an iOS device. They were NOT compatible. Please, next time, actually READ something about the products before passing judgement on them and the company that makes them.

We have an older, Intel-based Mac Mini that has had WiFi problems for years. It was unclear when it started having issues, but we have determined to our satisfaction that was temperature-based.

It appears that Apple has since solved the problem in later models (by adding a second WiFi antenna into the design), but that is of no help to us. We first “fixed” it using a, then later with some software. Neither solutions worked when the Mini’s temperature got too high for the internal fan to handle. Now that we are using the Mini as a media server, we wanted to solve the WiFi issue once and for all. We found an elegant and 100% effective solution from. The is a simple plug-and-play USB device that works with Macs running OS 10.3 or later. According to BearExtender, the n3 WiFi radio is about ten times more powerful than the Apple-branded AirPort card included in the Mac.

Combined with an, BearExtender n3 offers up to 2-4 times the range of the current wireless card (approximately 2X for AirPort Extreme and 4X for the original AirPort 11 mbps card). For an even greater reach, there is an optional upgrade designed to pick up even more signals and different networks than the standard 2 dBi antenna.

The BearExtender will use up, but that’s a small price to pay for reliable WiFi connectivity. For now, it is connected to of the USB hub. Since the N3 is small enough to be placed anywhere, we’ll eventually reconnected it to one of the ports in the back and hide everything out of sight. The software for the BearExtender was a piece of cake. The USB driver came loaded on an 128MB USB flash drive. Installation and connecting to a WiFi network on the first try.

Althought it was not our primary objective, we were able to see than previously possible. Our connection has been 100% stable since including the BearExtender n3 in our setup. We are extremely pleased that our Mac Mini WiFi issue has finally been laid to rest. We can now enjoy our Hulu and Netflix viewing without interruption.
