1 out of 5 stars Useless   January 8, 2009
Unfortunately this did not help me either, just like the guys who posted reviews before me. No improvement at all in the speed/signal of my wifi network. I used on my laptop with a usb adaptor. don't buy it if you think you're gonna have more luck than others. It's just useless. Oh and it's really HUGE. I might use for fly fishin' in the future.


1 out of 5 stars BIG low performance antenna   December 30, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This antenna is big, rougly 3 times taller than the standard router antenna. Unfortunately this did not mean a better connection for me. I ran multiple bandwidth tests on 'speedtest', and also kept an eye on 'netmeter' graphical bandwidth monitor. Performance from standard router dropped about a third, and the data rate was not constant - fluxuating, and frustrating. I tried many combinations and positions, however everything was proved when I tested the connection with the standard/RubberDuck antenna sitting beside the router. Very poor performance compared with standard Netgear router antenna.

Keep your standard one.



5 out of 5 stars Worked for me   December 4, 2008

BINGO!
I am now able to get Wifi in my kitchen downstairs at the front of the house from my router upstairs at the back.
I did have to change channels to achieve this, which had not worked before, so all in all this is a success.
I would say that having a bigger antenna on my router seems to have much larger effect on the strength of the signal coming from the router than it does on the ability of the router to pick up the signal from my laptop - which makes sense as I haven't changed the antenna on the laptop - so i can see why this product won't always work.
Still, for the price it's worth a try - if it works, it's cheaper than any other solution.



5 out of 5 stars Worth it for 10   October 14, 2008

This antenna worked for me: I got a signal strength increase from 24% to 39%, taking my WiFi bandwidth from approx 6 Mbps to a solid 11Mbps.

This seems about - I replaced my 4dbi antenna with a 9dbi antenna and got roughly double the data rate.



1 out of 5 stars A disappointment   November 2, 2007

Sadly this antenna did not work for me. It did not noticelebly increase the range or reliability of my wireless LAN. I solved my problem in the end by reattaching the original antenna and re-positioning the PC.
