No. You do need to connect your WiFi device to the CCrane-***** WiFi network or connect the Ethernet cable to a computer/laptop Ethernet port (if available) and to the CC Vector WiFi Repeater’s Ethernet connection.
How it Works: Our antenna can be located so it more favorably connects to a distant WiFi signal from your router. The antenna is wired to the CC Vector which transmits and receives a new reliable WiFi signal to all types of devices. It uses the most popular 2.4 GHz band which also is the longest-range band. The newly created signal by the CC Vector has the same strength and coverage as a router.
Great for extending the range to upstairs, back rooms, garage and garden. The CC Vector is a good choice to deliver a new signal across a street. Bob's shop is about 50 ft. away from the router in the house and there are several walls that make the WiFi signal from a standard range extender unreliable. The CC Vector Home easily picked up the signal when the antenna was put in a shop window toward the house and delivered a robust signal to his Internet radio and phone in the shop.
The CC Vector advantage is a high power omni-directional Antenna which allows for better placement and pickup of the host router signal. The antenna's sensitivity exceeds average WiFi range extenders designed for in-home use and the system works on all Windows®, Android®, Apple®, iPhone® and Smart TVs.
It is small and can be mounted on a wall, to a window with suction cups or outside for improved coverage and stability. The host signal can be rather weak and the CC Vector Home will do a good job.
There are two available Ethernet ports on the CC Vector for hardwiring additional computers or routers. The setup is straightforward for basic computer users.
The CC Vector Home is capable of supporting two users watching standard quality video like Netflix™ or several users browsing the Internet simultaneously. As distance is increased, speed is reduced.

No. You do need to connect your WiFi device to the CCrane-***** WiFi network or connect the Ethernet cable to a computer/laptop Ethernet port (if available) and to the CC Vector WiFi Repeater’s Ethernet connection.
If you’re not receiving the network you expect to extend, it could be out of range or obstructed. Try repositioning the receiving antenna (USB WiFi Antenna) or move it to another location. Obstructions such as walls, trees, leaves, bushes, appliances, etc. can interfere with receiving a network. Basically, anything that is in the way of line of sight between where you want to receive the signal. This also includes where the original router is located.
An example would be if my house router WiFi signal is located in my basement and I’m trying to get the signal in my garage 500’ away. This isn’t going to work or if it does, it’s going to be of very low-grade quality. For this kind of scenario, you may need a WiFi bridge system with antennas at both locations or some other solution; please call C. Crane at (800) 522-8863 for help determining the best solution.
Yes, our CC Vector systems can connect to most WiFi networks. These types of connections may not require a WiFi password to connect to their WiFi but do need account information to be entered using a web browser after connecting. First, follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide to get the USB light on our repeater to light up. Then open a browser to enter the login information that the hotspot provider has provided to you when you signed up for their service.
Yes. Follow these steps:

Interference and noise can cause the connection to be slow. Make sure CC Vector repeater and USB antenna are separated at least 5 to 15 feet. Try rotating the USB Antenna horizontal, making sure to aim broad side towards the distant WiFi network. You can also add an additional router to the CC Vector WiFi Repeater via Ethernet. Lastly, check to make sure the USB cable is not coiled which may create line loss.
It depends on the type of camera system. Cloud-based cameras will work because they generally only need an internet connection. Some popular brands that make cloud-based cameras are:
