This antenna is very easy to install on XP or Vista and works as advertised, picking up weak WIFI easily. It is not waterproof, so is not good for outdoor use.

I bought this product for a friend who has a vacation rental across the street from a motel that has free WiFi.

She was using dial-up but getting frustrated with the slow speeds.

You can't reach the motel through a normal WiFi adapter so I got this unit and tried it from my home.

It works great and pulls in remote networks with a good strong signal.

It can also serve as a WiFi network server, but I didn't try this feature ('cause I didn't need it)

Easy to use and set up. Price is right. Antenna is good size though so if you're thinking of getting this for your living room you might want to find a place where you can hide it out of view (about 18").
