I purchased the 2 pack Alfa 9dBi WiFi Booster Antenna to replace the stock antennas on my Linksys WRT54GL. I hooked up the new antennas and experienced a 50 to 60 percent signal loss. My Blu-ray player's wifi signal went from 70-80% signal to 25-30%. A waste of money as far as boosting signal. Would not buy again... DBRoth shipping was very speedy. Service from them was great, product was not.

These antennas installed easily in place of the stock antennas on my Linksys WRT54GL. They provide a noticeable improvement in signal strength throughout my house, but not nearly the doubling that one might hope for with the 9dBi gain spec. The best that I have seen after careful antenna adjustment is about 20-30% additional signal strength as reported by our various computers. That is still a useful improvement and comes at a low price.

Great RP-TNC antennae that works for a lot of linksys products though I am using it on my Cisco 851w without a problem

A complete waste of money!!!! While it fit on well, it did absolutely nothing to improve the strength of the signal used on my Linksys WRT-54G wireless router!! In fact I think it probably reduced the strength of the signal by something like 5-10%. I had tried a (different) set of booster antenna that I borrowed from a friend before purchasing but obviously all brands are not the same. If possible test this before buying - it certainly doesn't work for me.

cons:
1-not as in the picture
2-signal drops severely
3-pricey for an item that is not working at all, complete waste of money

if i had the chance not to give this piece of anntenna a star i will.

complete waste of money!!!!

i replaced the antennas on my Linksys WRT54GL with these. The signal dropped 70 percent. I tried them on two different brand new devices and also played with the TX power. Nothing helped.
