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: Connect to a network up to 400 ft. In our extreme distance tests, we connected to an open public network 1 mile away (with no obstructions*).
The heavy duty antenna and amplifier mounts to a pole or ladder outside your vehicle and then connects to the CC Vector Repeater inside. The included 8dBi antenna does not require aiming and receives in all directions.
Great for extending your range at campgrounds, RV Parks, or remote outbuildings. Our CC Vector repeats a new WiFi signal to all devices in your RV, boat, or Big Rig Our customers explain it better than we ever could:
Amazingly easy set up that took less than 30 minutes from opening 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....

The antenna's amplifier sensitivity exceeds average WiFi range extenders we have tested. The CC Vector system works on all Windows®, Android®, Apple®, iPhone® and Smart TVs.
There are two available Ethernet jacks on the CC Vector for hardwiring additional computers or routers. It uses the most popular, Longest Range WiFi band at 2.4GHz. The setup is straightforward for basic computer users.
The CC Vector RV is capable of supporting two users watching standard quality 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 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 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.
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:

DVR/NVR IP Cameras may not work. These cameras need to connect to a base that is connected to the main network (router) to be accessed. The CC Vector creates its own network and will not let the cameras connect wirelessly to the base or the main network (router). DVR systems also have different requirements when it comes to the recorder. Specifically, in a DVR system, the user must connect every camera directly to the recorder. In comparison, an NVR system only requires that each camera connects to the same network. Please call C. Crane for recommendations of a customized WiFi system we offer that will work for these types of camera systems.
The USB Amplifier prevents dropouts when using heavy data over our special 30 ft USB cable. Normally USB cables are a maximum of 15 ft length for powered devices, but this device lets you go further. Please contact C. Crane at (800) 522-8863 if your system did not include the USB Amplifier cable and you are experiencing dropouts.
