As the happy owner of an Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW wireless adpater, I purchased the Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW wireless adpater for my second computer expecting to be ecstatic.
Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the 2000mW adapter has more difficulty finding, acquiring, and maintaining connections to wireless access points than does the less expensive, supposedly less powerful 1000mW adapter.
Regardless of the combinations of cables, antennas, computers, locations, and updated drivers I tried, the 2000mW adapter consistently found fewer than half as many access points and reported far lower signal strength than did the 1000mW adapter.
Assuming that I'd received a defective item, I contacted a customer service agent at DB Roth who politely handled my call and promptly shipped a replacement adapter.
Unfortunately the second AWUS036NH performed just as badly as the first. Since both 2000mW adapters had exhibited the same behavior and the 1000mW adapter performed perfectly (as has been similarly reported by other Amazon.com customers), I have decided to exchange the 2000mW adapter for the less expensive 1000mW adapter.
DB Roth customer service has been extremely helpful. In spite of a brief misunderstanding over shipping charges, Bianca in customer service deserves very high marks.
Sadly, I can't say the same for the Alfa 2000mW adapter.

This unit is worth the money if you only need a small boost. There is no way to pick up signals at 1-2 miles away for $50.
It may work at best 400'. I extended the range by putting a water bottle over it and putting it on a 15' pole. Spring for the
optional 15' cord, it's worth it. At 150' I gained 2 bars. The extra larger antenna is trash and weakens my signal. The
photo shows two bases, it comes with one. Very simple to install. It works o.k. and not what they say it does. Go for the
magnet mount, the suction cup is a toy.

I would like to point out to all of those who have been dissapointed by this item and would like inform you on possible reasons you may not experience the advertised range. When it is advertised as 1-2 miles, it means 1-2 miles line of sight. So in other other words you can't just put this adpter in any window in locations that have other houses trees or and other objects in the way of the signal and that includes electronic devices that interfere with signal. The antenna is omnidirectional and you will never get the distance out of it that you will with an antenna that only focuses on less than 180 degrees. A good example to reference would be a satellite dish. It is very possible to get great range from any adapter when set up properly physically and and virtually.
I love this adapter and have been gaining 1 or 2 bar signals on every wireless network that comes up. Also you dont need to have this adapter and the built in adapter running at the same time to get a better signal and most of the time they will somehow affect each other and not give you a true reading.

Understand the laws
you have to understand that the FCC only allows a maximum of 27dBm (500 milliwatts), so even though the Alfa card has an advertised power of 2 Watt (60dBm), we cannot set the card... Read more
