User questions & answers
Question: | How long is the wiring harness break out ?? It’s very tight behind my radio and hope it reaches out where I can access it easier |
Answer: | They are 6-8 inches long, but plug into the back of the stereo so it is possible to wire it up and plug into the stereo as it is installed |
Question: | How long should it take to boot? i bought an rv with one of these. i like it, but it takes over 10 minutes to boot. is it defective |
Answer: | I have 3 units in my 48 Express Cruiser. I shut down power completely to the unit when not aboard. When I board and turn on DC Power, the unit boots, connects to the iPad, and begins to play within seconds not minutes. I have had to reconnect devices when switching between source devices, but startup has always been 60 seconds or less. |
Question: | Can the ms-srx400 be controlled via wifi without having an ms-ra770 onboard |
Answer: | Yes, however the 770 is way better than the 400. I have one 700 and three 400 in my boat, however I'm removing two out the three 400 and keep only the 700+400. |
Question: | Will this fit a single DIN opening |
Answer: | The back part that slots inside is single DIN, but the flush front is slightly larger. So it fits in a single DIN cutout from a previous sterio, but you need some free room around it for the front. |
Product description
Amazingly easy set up that took less than 30 minutes from opening the package to working WiFi. In my current campground went from no internet access to perfectly streaming video. I like that it creates a private network with a private passcode that can be used with all devices. So many campgrounds either don't have WiFi accessible throughout the park or have no security. This solves both problems. Worth the price. No technical skills needed... M Reimer Newport, FL The antenna's amplifier sensitivity exceeds average WiFi range extenders C. Crane has tested. The CC Vector system is easy to set up and works on all WiFi devices such as: Gaming consoles, Windows, Android, Apple, iPhone and Smart TVs, internet radios and more.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can this device be mounted with a suction cup |
Answer: | This antenna is substantial and I would not recommend mounting it with a suction cup unless it were sizable and only for short periods of time. I have mine mounted at mounted about 12 feet with four screws holding it in place. Would like to add I've had this product for about a year-and-a-half and it's been working perfectly. I have it mounted on my pole barn which is about 200 feet from my house. |
Question: | Using via usb to pc mine keep saying can’t connect to this network even when it’s my network at home. what do i need to do |
Answer: | It should come up with its own wifi. Can't remember if it is Crane but that's what you connect to not your home and you can add a router to this if you continue to have issues. Also, go on to google on how to set this up. This is what i did |
Question: | Whats the complete setup instructions |
Answer: | The antenna can be mounted outside, however I have leaned it in the front windshield and had decent luck. Then you just plug everything in and go. You do have to have some kind of existing signal to amplify. Find it in your device settings and select. |
Question: | Can you make the new wifi signal from the indoor repeater secured, so nobody else can connect to the new wifi signal |
Answer: | It just amplifies an existing wifi signal. You have to log into the original wifi network as you did originally. You still have the same level of security you had with the original network. It just allows you to be farther from the source. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can it be connected directly to an Android Hot spot to enable multiple device connections when no other signals are available |
Answer: | No, it has to go thru some kind of a router. |
Question: | Is it possible to use the included mount and just unscrew the antenna and leave the rest of the unit mounted? I have low clearance needs |
Answer: | The Right Angle mount could remain plus the Ethernet cable but everything else would have to be removed which is the POE Base plus the antenna. |
Question: | Can you use a cat7 ethernet cable |
Answer: | 25ft of cat5e is included. Cat5e is the minimum spec. There is no reason you can't choose better cable (ie: Cat6, Cat7) if you need to supply a new cable. If you need to go longer (like 50ft or 100ft) then Cat6 or better is recommended. |
Question: | Are you able to hook this up to a router and create a network |
Answer: | Yes, you can connect this to the WAN side of a standard home wireless router, and create your own network. You will need to go through your router to configure the Wave (and change access points), so it's good to have a little networking knowledge to get it and the router configured correctly. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What if the network I'm connecting to has a sign-on page in addition to (i.e. after) the actual wifi password |
Answer: | It works! We verified our products do work with captive portals just fine in our testing. |
Question: | For the Swift and the Falcon, what is the respective range pick-up's of each |
Answer: | Hello Crystal! With the testing we've done I'd say the Swift will give you usable internet speeds to about up to a quarter mile, the Falcon is closer to a half mile. Keep in mind these were using real world conditions that we tested in a real world application. There are a LOT of competitors that use "On paper" numbers that assume things like a perfectly clear line of sight in a vacuum of space, so some numbers out there are not factual for a real world application. Note that the numbers I am providing are in the real world, but were mostly unobstructed. Your range can differ based on things like amount of foliage, weather conditions, etc. I believe the Falcon is the only self pointing directional antenna on the market as of right now! Let me know if you have any other questions. - KING |
Question: | Hi , I'd like to buy one of those with swift . Does it receive the 5ghz networks |
Answer: | Hello Gabriel! The swift itself does not pick up 5ghz networks. The router can rebroadcast it as a 5ghz network. Generally when you are dealing with wanting range that is what the 2.4ghz network is better for, then once you are in an area that is short range and where you want to be able to communicate through walls better is when you switch it to the 5ghz. The reason we didn't make the antenna on the roof pick up 5ghz because the range is substantially less which is the main point of our product. |
Question: | Can the wifimax be used with a high gain directional wifi antenna such as a 24db, 2.4ghz segmented dish antenna |
Answer: | This is what engineering says,"The WiFiMax has an RP-SMA connector for a 2.4 GHz antenna. If used with other equipment, ensuring compliance with FCC or other applicable regulations is the responsibility of the user." So yes you can, but it is on the user to make sure you are FCC compliant if you use your own antenna. Do note that the Falcon we have for this is a high gain directional antenna that automatically points itself, so if you are looking for something you aren't having to set up every time that is an option as well. It's controlled via a phone app that we designed. |

KING Falcon Directional Wi-Fi Antenna with KING WiFiMax Router/Range Extender
The KING Falcon Stationary Automatic Directional Wi-Fi Antenna with the KING WiFiMax Wi-Fi Router/Range Extender makes it easier than ever to have a reliable, secure internet connection in your RV. The Falcon antenna mounts to your vehicle's roof, so you can maximize the range and performance of the WiFiMax, making this package the ideal combination for those who want to get the most out of their mobile Wi-Fi experience. No more walking to the coffee shop or visitor center to get Wi-Fi. Now, you can connect right from your vehicle.
The KING Falcon and the KING WiFiMax are ideal for RVers, truckers, campers, tailgaters, and all mobile adventurers who want to remain connected to the internet. Together, they create a versatile and powerful RV network system.
Stay Connected Anywhere You Go
The KING Falcon Stationary Automatic Directional Wi-Fi Antenna increases the range and performance of the included KING WiFiMax Router/Range Extender. The Falcon, a powerful, outdoor, automatic, directional 2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna mounted to your roof, automatically scans for available networks and then aims itself at the selected network. Allowing the WiFiMax to connect to networks from farther away and increasing speeds at all ranges. With an antenna that is up to 10x more powerful than the competition, the KING Falcon takes advantage of the increased power and performance of a directional Wi-Fi antenna, without the traditional hassle of needing to aim the antenna. The free KING Wi-Fi App on your smartphone or tablet ensures setup and aiming will be a breeze.
Internet Connectivity on the Go with KING WiFiMax
Say goodbye to the frustration and wasted time from a slow or spotty internet connection. The KING WiFiMax Wi-Fi Router/Range Extender makes it easy to have a reliable, secure internet connection in your RV. With its 5GHz network speeds, you can surf the internet, check email, and stream your favorite content just like at home. No monthly service fee, no contract and no impact on bandwidth speed.
Who is it for? What does it do?
The KING Falcon and KING WiFiMax are for anyone who wants to use the internet while on the go, including RVers, long haul truckers, or anyone with an active mobile lifestyle.
The Falcon and the WiFiMax connect users to an existing Wi-Fi source at significantly further distances and at faster speeds than just using a phone or laptop. No more walking over to the coffee shop or visitor center to get Wi-Fi. The KING Falcon and KING WiFiMax can connect you to those networks right from your vehicle.
The KING Falcon antenna maximizes the range and performance of the KING WiFiMax Wi-Fi Router/Range Extender, making it the ideal bundle for those who need to extend Wi-Fi from farther away, or who want to upgrade their experience with faster speeds. Traditionally, directional antennas gained this performance but had the trade-off of needing to be manually aimed at the desired network. But with the Falcon, it automatically aims itself at your desired network.
How It Works
Using the KING Wi-Fi App, the KING Falcon automatically rotates and scans 360 degrees and shows you all the available networks. Then, you simply tap the network you want, and the Falcon automatically aims itself to get the best performance from that Wi-Fi source.
The KING WiFiMax Wi-Fi Router/Range Extender creates your own personal, private, and secure Wi-Fi network, just like you have in your home. When you are in range of an available Wi-Fi source, or a private network you have the password for - such as a visitor center guest network - you simply configure your WiFiMax to connect to that network. Then, it extends the internet access from that network to your own private Wi-Fi network, giving you internet just like you'd have at home. You can connect all your Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as laptops, cell phones, tablets, smart TVs and appliances, and more!

User questions & answers
Question: | Do I have to put it outside or can I hang on wall inside wall that is closest to router with wifi signal |
Answer: | You can also mount it indoors as long as it's within the line of sight of the WIFI router. |
Question: | Can i connect the bearextender to a wireless router and then have wifi on my laptop and tablet |
Answer: | ONE of my laptops (windows 10) has a "Mobile Hotspot" option which allows the sharing of wifi signals. I am typing this answer from the 2nd laptop (windows 7) connected through the 1st laptop that is connected to a WIFI signal (1/4 mile away) that is being picked up and boosted through the Bearextender.....I love this device !! 1 Bearextender = multiple computers can surf web.

Question: | When will they have a model that works with Macs |
Answer: | I don't think there is a Mac model as of last winter. Only PC. |
Question: | Does anyone know of a router or repeater that this can be plugged into so that multiple devices can pickup wifi signal |
Answer: | Kindly note that the Bearifi BearExtender Outdoor RV & Marine does NOT repeat WiFi signal to multiple devices at once.

I bought this kit because out in my garage my WiFi was weak and I couldn't stream youtube video's and even email was on again/off again it took me about 30 minutes to get the various parts hooked together and mounted on a wall of the garage. My laptop went from one or two bars for reception strength to the top four bars. Streaming youtube is perfect... I can easily perform any task on the internet out in my garage as easily as I can anywhere else in home. I highly recommend this product bundle.” S.

Question: | Can I buy just the WiFi repeater without the antenna |
Answer: | Yes you can but it is it will only work with our antenna. |
Question: | I have a workshop about 200 feet away from my home. Would this system be appropriate for picking up the wi-fi signal at the workshop |
Answer: | Assuming your router signal is available outside (not blocked by metal siding, for example), the Vector WiFi should pick up the signal under normal conditions - meaning unblocked line-of-sight (no trees). Mounting the Vector antenna outside of the workshop - or at least in a window - would greatly improve reception. |

User questions & answers
Question: | If I wanted to pick up wifi networks within a close vicinity of my boat while cruising would this antenna be able to amplify the signals within range |
Answer: | Yes but major factor is antenna elevation. On my boat this antenn is on a six foot mast on fly bridge |
Question: | minimum and maximum frequencies covered and dBi gain? please |
Answer: | If you look on the Shakespeare web site, all the detail is on there. Cheers Brent |
Question: | Do i have to have wifi already to use this antenna. How does it work with my hot spot . I do Not seem to get good signal at the Marina |
Answer: | NO but you will need to get a Cell amp and wifi antennas to output the signals it receives. Normally this antenna hooks to a cell /wifi amplifier that is then split out to antennas that are inside home /vessel depending on how much area you are trying to cover. |
Question: | What do need to connect to the antenna |
Answer: | Sc-240 connector time cable |

User questions & answers
Question: | Where do you connect the booster, between router and cable or between cable and antenna |
Answer: | The booster operates independent of the router. once configured place antenna within range of your router, then place booster near antenna in convenient location that has power available. the way the booster works is by you logging onto the hawker extender when out of range of your stand alone router. expect less range extension with a omni directional antenna. I had substantial improvement over a 1 acre property with the directional antenna. cheers |
Question: | rp-sma |
Answer: | Yes |
Question: | Does this require power or just connect to an antenna port? Does it come with mounting hardware? Does mounting work on a wall or horizontal surface |
Answer: | I don't know what an antenna port is? This is just a 15dBi High Gain antenna to replace a smaller/lower gain antenna. I use mine on an Alfa AWUS036NH 2W 802.11g/n High Gain USB Long-Range WiFi Network Adapter and it works great, I pick up (and connect to) wifi signals from over 1/2 a mile away now. Mine came with mounting hardware for both a pole mount, or a wall mount.I hope this helps.. |
Question: | Does it include mounting hardware and brackets to be monuted on a pole or flat surface |
Answer: | Yes, the hardware is included to mount the Hawking HiGain Directional Antenna on a pole. |
