Anyone use JavaTech for wifi signals?

I have one, does it work how should it be mounted?

You mean Jefa Tech?
I have on works well.
Mine is mounted to the crank up TV antenna, Cable routed same as TV cable into Front of MH. Router in front compartment. Everything concealed.
I did have a problem with connecting to my home WIFI but Jefa Tech tech support spent a lot of time on the phone with me to fix the problem which turned out to be my in house router.
Good people.

Did you just clamp it to the antenna and do you leave it out in all weather? What about trees?

If you're talking about the JefaTech antenna, mine is clamped to the upright beam of the Winegard TV antenna - the antenna is weatherproof and when the antenna is lowered it lies down on the roof, just like the TV antenna.

I've used mine for two years now. I can't tell you how many times it got me on the internet when it wasn't possible with just the computers wireless.
The antenna is attached to the crank up antenna and I ran the cable thru the roof vent in our middle bathroom to the router. The router is mounted on the wall of the bathroom and then I ran two 25' Cat5 cables from the router to our dinette table where we use our computers.
I ran Cat5 instead of using the wireless signal because I discovered it is a lot faster on the internet that way. I can still use the wireless if I'm outside.

Currently I am using the 8db gain omnidirectional antenna that came with it. I just ordered and recieved their directional dish antenna but have not mounted it yet. I need that for a place where we camp that needs the directional gain due to many factors that are involved there.
If I had it to do over again I would probably spend the extra $40 and get the 15db gain omnidirection antenna with the purchase of the kit.
I can log on to WiFi that is a half mile away from my rig. We've travelled all around the U.S. with this thing and it's the best money I've ever spent.

I talked to Jefa Tech a couple weeks ago and they are going to upgrade the firmware soon to make it easier to use.

An added note...
Mine lays flat on the roof while attached to the crankup and the weather doesn't bother it a bit.
I seldom crank up the antenna. If I'm having problems connecting then I will crankup the antenna (and put a PINK tag on my steering wheel so I remember to crank it down). So it works fine laying down.
The cable from the antenna to the roof vent is taped down with black Gorilla tape. It has held up well these past two years through 110 degree heat and rain.

I also have mine clamped to the crankup TV antenna. I was able to fish the coax cable through the same hole as the TV coax and into a front cabinet so all is concealed. Nothing running across the roof. Some say you can save money by buying parts off Ebay. But try calling and ebay seller for Tech Support. To me it was not worth saving a few dollar for untried parts.
