Improve your computer's WiFi reception in all directions in your home, RV, boat or Big Rig. The CC X Mile Omni is made for outdoor use with solid construction mounting to a pole or ladder. Plug in the 30 ft. cable to the USB port on your Windows computer and the drivers normally auto install. Seconds later your WiFi is greatly improved. Estimated range is 400 ft. and in extreme distances over 1 mile (Line of sight, without walls, trees or other obstructions. Also depends on the strength of the WiFi router).
The 8dBi WiFi antenna has a cast-aluminum mounting bracket and outdoor rated connections for many years of reliable use. It can mount to a wall or a 1 ½" to 2" pipe mast (not included).
For maximum performance in fixed WiFi environments we recommend the CC X Mile Long Range. Using this directional system we were able to cut through interference caused by too many WiFi networks.
The CC X Mile Omni works with Windows® XP to Windows® 10. Requires the installation of software drivers. Gaming stations such as the Xbox® and Sony PlayStation®, the iPad®, iPhone®, Android® and Windows RT® devices are not capable of installing these software drivers.
Have a MAC, Chromebook or need to connect more than one device? Our new CC Vector RV WiFi Repeater System will pull in those distant signals for improved reception of almost any WiFi device, smartphones, tablets and even MAC and Chromebook operating systems (all versions).

If the CC X Mile Omni can see more than 30 strong networks nearby then there may be too much interference for it to work at full speed. Try using the CC X Mile Omni closer to ground level which should help to alleviate some of the interference. For distant WiFi signals in crowded locations, we recommend using our Point-to-Point directional WiFi antenna. This will focus the signal in the direction of the desired WiFi location.
Typically, it will reach over 100 yards away to a normal router, depending on obstructions. Under ideal circumstances, it will reach over a mile away to a normal router. This would require no obstructions whatsoever and for it to be used in a rural location without many WiFi networks causing interference.
Check the connection between the antenna and the cable to be sure they are tightly connected. If only one USB port is available, make sure to use the main USB cable connector, not the optional Power Boost connector (single loose connector).
Check the bottom taskbar area for a security shield or message that is asking permission to install the software. Also, if your computer has a third-party firewall or virus protection installed, you may have to temporarily disable it.
You may not have a strong enough WiFi connection. Successful connection to a wireless network usually requires a minimum of 2 bars of signal. If the signal is low, you can try relocating or repositioning the antenna with a better line-of-sight view to the WiFi source; or the wireless network does not offer internet service; or a firewall/virus protection is preventing access.
Be sure that the antenna is positioned vertically in a location that is not obstructed to the WiFi source. Mount your antenna outside and up high for best reception. If your desired WiFi network still shows a weak signal, then try a larger antenna with the CC X Mile Omni.
No, the CC X Mile Omni should not be connected to an additional passive USB extension cable. Please use the 30' USB cable that came with the antenna. It is not recommended to exceed the length of the 30' USB cable, as it can cause severe signal loss.
It is not a requirement, but it is recommended. If both WiFi connections are going at the same time, it will require more power from your computer and will create extra heat. Usually there is a button, switch, or key on a laptop that disables the internal WiFi device.
No. The CC X Mile Omni requires installation of software drivers. At this time, the iPad®/iPhone®/Android® devices are not capable of installing software drivers.
