 Works great in condo with thick concrete walls |
| Review Date: March 16, 2010 |
| Reviewer: TSammy, Panama City Beach, FL |
| My condo association provides wireless internet as part of our association fees, but due to the thick concrete walls I was getting very poor reception. I did not want to move my computer to the bedroom where the signal was greatest, and so I gave this a try. Whereas I had been getting between zero and one bar, with this antenna I now get a solid four bars. This works perfect for me and I am very happy. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is with the menu on the installation disk. The menu choices were not as simple as choosing XP, vista, or 7 drivers. There were confusing buttons and I picked the wrong one, but when I plugged in the unit, it went and found the right drivers anyway. And then I was quickly up and running with a great connection, and that's why I am very pleased with my purchase. |
Big improvement.

I bought the product based on the antenna that was bundled with it. So far so good. Signals are captured well.
I initially used the manufactures software for configuration of the unit. However I found steadier results allowing windows zero configuration to handle the chore.
I look forward to being able to broad cast with this unit.

A powerful piece of Wi-Fi

| Reviewer: James A. Gonzalez, FINDLAY, OH, US |
| The antenna alone is a strong piece of equipment for its price. From my position in my double insulated apartment this has picked up many signals but the main one I was previously using from my Acer 1One netbook has gave me full power instead of very weak. The installation is very simple but if your not using a disk drive then it can be a little work. As I had to search for the driver and gain a little more information on the details of the antenna, I finally found my driver. Once the driver was set in I was amazed by the strength I was gaining and the more connections that I've found. I may not say this is the strongest as this is my first antenna owned, it does hold a lot of power for it's price and size. It even works great mobile as I have taken this on trips and found the same power held from my apartment. I give this an 8/10 based on this being my first one and how much power I am gaining. I will finally add the simple USB connection is very compatible with any device with a disk readable operating system and is a great tool for those wanting to jump on the next gen of free media. |

| Reviewer: John von Lange, |
Well I purchased this because I'm currently deployed, they have a WiFi signal that we can access outside but with the summer months coming I was looking for a way to avoid the heat a little easier. This worked....kinda, it got a great signal....but only after I spent 3-4 hours fighting with it, trying to find out why it would keep cutting out, dropping the network, or not connecting at all.
The problem is the USB cord that comes with it is very cheap and does not stat connected, I was able to borrow a mini USB cord to test it from someone I know, and it worked perfect. Now I have to wait another two weeks to get my own USB cord.
The seller was a little shady, I received an email the day after I ordered the item saying it was shipped, no tracking available. I was ok with that, going APO I know most sellers dont use tracking. Then almost a week later, I get another email, your item has been shipped with a tracking number. So I had to wait 1.5 weeks to get my item, I purchased something a couple of days later and due to there fast shipping had it before this order.
With all that being said, would i buy another yes, but I would also make sure I order an extra USB cord and find another seller next time. |
