5.0 out of 5 stars simply works, March 10, 2006

This review is from: EnGenius Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter (Personal Computers)

Initially I've decided to install only the driver and not the software. It worked right away on Windows XP SP2 and found many different networks. The average
signal strength is at least 2 bars more than on my internal laptop antenna. And surfing speeds are really good, I suppose also because of the higher transmitting power.

Later, I've installed the driver on a new laptop that already had an internal wifi antenna running on Intel Proset wireless software. However using this software I could not select the external antenna.
Therefore I had to install the software supplied with the adapter, which is recommended by Engenius anyway.

The way I use it now is: both the original Intel and the Engenius software are running.
First, I scan with the internal laptop antenna if I can connect to a network. If this does not work, I connect the external Engenius antenna via a 2 meter usb extension cable, so that I can hang the adapter in the window and run the Engenius software to find a network.

So, If you are using the Windows feature to connect to wifi, you can select more than one adapter, if you are using any other software, such as Intel Proset, you are better of installing the Engenius software to run alongside it.

Bottom line: his adapter will give you the opportunity to be online in more different locations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for hotels, January 7, 2008

I bought one of these because I often stay in hotels that advertise "free wi-fi" but don't tell you that the signal is useless beyond the lobby. In these circumstances, this booster makes a huge difference - the difference between an unusable signal in your room and a very fast, reliable one. Combined with a 15" antenna, this thing generates a flame-thrower of a signal, in one case improving the signal from 0-1 bars to a steady 4 bars all weekend long. As this precludes the need for a temporary dial-up account, it even pays for itself pretty quickly.

Finds and processes weaker signals than any of the other adapters I have tried. Very stable drivers and useful utility. Utility provides the unique feature of selecting signals with the same SSID by MAC address of access point, so that the strongest "linksys on channel 6" doesn't act as a jammer. Just wish the utility worked with Vista. Highly recommended.
