A powerful piece of Wi-FiMar 10, 2010 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.
Good external antennaMar 10, 2010 Had trouble reaching Wifi signal. This antenna made it work and was an easy install.
It worked....KindaMar 10, 2010
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.
a little difficult setting it up, but it works greatMar 04, 2010 Once I figured out how to "get it going," it has worked very well. My prior wireless adapter worked ok, most of the time. The Alfa keeps the speed high and signal strength strong. Downloads are faster compared to the prior adapter, which did not always keep the signal strength strong and was not always fast. The Alfa's "regular" antenna can connect with several other modems in the neighborhood, although I would feel like I were stealing, if I were to connect with someone else's wireless setup. I would recommend the Alfa for most buyers. The only folks who might not benefit are those with very poor computer "set up" skills. I probably have slightly below average "set up" skills and it took me awhile to figure out the instructions.
Really UnbelievableMar 04, 2010 Was skeptical as others, but this thing works. Easy installation. My router is in my house. The computer I was connecting to is in the basement of a 120 year old barn with earth and stone walls surrounding it...600ft away from the house. I was about to do point-to-point for about $300. No need. I get 70% signal and I could probably do better if I purchased a good router.
Great product.
