1.0 out of 5 stars Just make your own, March 30, 2008

The Cantenna is OK but high priced and poor in performance compared to what you can make on your own. Just Google 'cantenna' and read, read, read.

I bought $15 in parts, I made my own with a better can from the super market and my signal strength was better. Cantenna gave me 13dBi. My home made job gave me 20dBi. That is a 9dBi increase and remember that every 3 dBi is a doubling in strength.

Now, if I want to, I can break down my can and use the same parts on/in another setup.

This is a piece of junk. Poor quality materials and poor construction.

Very thin metal, cheap coax. Tripod won't lock in position.

Compared to D-Link DWL-M60AT signal strength is about the same although the SC803 is supposed to have higher gain.

Buy from a reputable vendor such as D-Link or Hawking.

Like the previous poster, I too live in an apartment within line of sight of a public wifi but lacked the ability (or determination) to build my own so I bought this one instead. I couldn't be happier with it. It was easy to set up and works like a charm. I couldn't even pick up a signal before, now I have nearly full signal.
