Product Description

Product Description

Replacing your WiFi antenna with our booster will significantly increase the range and strength of your WiFi signal. Our quality built omni-directional antenna is a direct replacement for the antenna that comes standard with your router, access point, VOIP device, or PCI card. Because it is omni-directional, no aiming is equired - it can send and receive WiFi in all directions. Our antenna is stronger then the less powerful booster antennas offered by major manufacturers (Linksys HGA7S and HGA7T.) Installation is very easy - just twist off the factory antenna and twist on our Booster Antenna and you'll experience an instant jump in. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCREASE IN SIGNAL STRENGTH DEPENDS MOSTLY ON YOUR ROUTER OR ADAPTER THIS HELPS TO BUT IT CANNOT TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE POWER THAT YOUR MODEM OR ADAPTER DOES NOT HAVE!!! IT JUST GIVES MORE RANGE NOT STRONGER POWER!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't reach hype, but surprisingly works, September 5, 2008

By	Christopher L. Canfield (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Generally, I find external antennas to be a waste of time. Not only do they never live up to their claims of range increases, but they usually provide no noticeable benefit over stock.

This antenna is actually quite a bit better than stock. While it hasn't come close to the listed "up to 4x the signal strength and range", I would say it has probably boosted signal range in the ballpark of 50%. Rated signal "strength" has strangely dropped, which I suspect is related to the base station attempting to cover a wider area, but the actual speeds have increased overall.

Do note that the antennas here actually have SMA connectors, not TNC ones. As such it is compatible with the listed brands of router (which are all SMA) but not other TNC ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does much of what it promises to do, November 7, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

I had to locate a computer in a rather poor location in terms of WiFi. This antenna replaced the antenna on the Linksys PCI WiFi card. Connectivity went from low to good. Not anywhere near the miracle the advertising seems to promise with its nebulous "4X" promises, but it does do what it promises to do - and that's enough for me. It is also less than half the price of the Linksys antenna.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Great!, April 23, 2009

By	HonestOpinionOnly (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews

Great product. Just screw on to replace the antenna of the router, and voila! I used [...] to check the download speeds before and after the installation. The speeds have increased at least 2 times (at least). It is so simple, no configuration needed. DROTH is a great seller too!
