Your local devices (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) will of course connect and show a strong signal because they're able to talk to the DIR-505 Shareport Mobile Router. Whether or not they actually have an internet connection to WAN depends on if the DIR-505 is actually setup correctly. It accepts a WAN connection via hardwired Ethernet, or can function as a Repeater, sucking in an existing Wireless network then rebroadcasting it. Keep in mind that if the signal is too weak for your laptop or phone to connect to, then this DIR-505 isn't going to do much better unless you move it closer to the originating WiFi access point.
