5.0 out of 5 stars The price is right and it does what it's supposed to, October 17, 2008

By	Dustin Spaulding (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked this little antenna or not. There isn't much to it... it's got a connector, a cord, a magnetic base (which is pretty strong by the way) and of course the antenna itself. It didn't seem to give me much of an improvement until I learned how to pick the correct location for it...

The biggest benefit of having one of these is flexibility of placement. With antennas, correct placement is crucial. I bought two: one for my desktop PC and one for my router. These antennas aren't necessarily any more sensitive than the little plastic ones that come with wifi cards and access points, but being able to move the antenna location from behind the PC on the floor (which is where most people with wireless cards have their antennas) to the top of your desk or on top of your monitor makes a big difference right away.

Now, if you are really serious about getting the best performance out of this antenna, I would suggest you download a program called NetStumbler. It will let you see the S/N ratio in dBm and it updates in real-time. This lets you get perfect placement with your antenna. You'd be amazed what a difference an inch to the left or right can make. I have a feeling a lot of people who have problems with aftermarket wifi antennas are not placing them properly.

For $5.54 each plus a couple bucks for shipping, this antenna can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product and value, August 25, 2008

By	B. Brad - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a Trendnet wireless G PCI card and I installed this on the desktop end as opposed to the router end. Connection went from very low and frequently dropping 4-6 times a day to very good/excellent with no drops. Ventilation ducting was in the way of where my router is and where my desktop needs to be, and luckily the antenna cord is approximately 6 feet long to accomodate placing the antenna in an higher location. I'm not sure if this actually boosts the signal but for six bucks I'm happy with its flexibility of placement, which solved my signal problem.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is The keywrd "Open Space"?, July 2, 2009

By	A Maze On Line - See all my reviews

I tried to use it at home on a slimline HP pavilion. It made absolutely no difference. Its a nice enough little gizmo though I was able to try various positions/locations by a signal facing window. But this passive device made no difference. Perhaps in "Open Space" it can do better.
