2 Can you identify this unmarked antenna box?
I found a mysterious antenna box behind my parents' TV. Completely unmarked except for a logo consisting of three overlapping rounded squares. A Google image search for that logo turned up no matches. The box consists of a circuit board with daughter card and two roughly 8" long antennae. Googling the serial numbers on the circuit boards returned no useful results either. There's also a number 444-1704 on the inside of the case, which also returned no useful results. Anyone here have any clue what the heck this thing is? Thanks!

Thanks! So how does this work? Just amplify any RF signal in the right frequency range? Seems there's no way to program it for a specific wifi network, TV channel, whatever.

Not convinced this is a range extender. Check the PCB for any further markings. Looks like it has a 2014 on the board as well as the RxTx sticker leads me to stray away from a range extender. Post a closer picture of the PCB's as well as the back side of the "box"

There's nothing to see on the backside, just mounting holes and a Made in Mexico sticker. Doesn't even have the usual FCC labeling and warnings. Hopefully this helps
I posted this same question to another forum. They suggested it was part of a medical system. My dad, before he passed, did have a pacemaker that talked wirelessly to a box that would send data to his clinic. Perhaps this is a range extender for improving this pacemaker-to-box connection. This mystery box has no wired connection to anything but the wall (up-left in pics), neither the pacemaker box nor the cable box nor the cabel modem/router, all of which are nearby
I can't really get a better picture. However, I've labeled the ICs on the PCB
