5.0 out of 5 starsBest WiFi antenna on the market. Best performance with the 7dBi panel antenna
By Lincoln TOP 500 REVIEWER on August 25, 2011
Nearly all Amazon.com reviewers agree, the Alfa AWUS036H is the long range WiFi antenna on the market. But with 3 antenna options to chose from, which is the best setup?

I own the all 3 wi-fi antennas from Alpha: 5dBi omni-directional, 7dBi panel, 9dBi omni-directional. The Alfa AWUS036H with the 7dBi antenna is the best performing set up: Alfa AWUS036H Upgraded to 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g High Gain USB Wireless Long-Rang WiFi network Adapter with 5dBi Rubber Antenna and a 7dBi Panel Antenna - for Wardriving & Range Extension *Strongest on the Market*

With the 5dBi omni antenna, I can get 2-3 bars from a public wi-fi signal a little over 1 mile away (direct line of sight).

With the 9dBi omni antenna, I get only 0-1 bar with dropped signals.

With the 7dBi panel antenna, I get 3-4 bars with the fastest data transfer rates.

I have even tested the 5dBi and 7 dBi side by side and the 7dBi loads web pages in less than 1/2 the speed as the 5dBi antenna.

I have done a fair amount of research before purchasing the Alfa AWUS036H unit. The general consensus is that this unit has much better performance for B and G networks than the newer Alfa AWUS036NH model. But for accessing N networks, the newer model is necessary.

Although I still own the 5dBi and 9dBi antennas, I only ever use the 7dBi panel antenan. It's actually shorter in size and easier to transport than the 5dBi model. Go with the 7dBi - you'll get the best performance.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsRV user says it works like a hot damn but a fussy set up for a rookie
By Adman on December 15, 2011

Hi,

Just want to start out by saying when it comes to computer hardware and software I would give myself a 5 out of 10 in knowledge for instillation and set up of most things. So if you are a 1 out of 10 this might be a bit of a challenge to get up and running but it does work well once you tweak it.

I'm in RV parks/resorts most of the winter in SoCal and most offer a park WiFi set up that is very slow. The way it works is the more people in the park the slower it gets which is common in these kinds of set ups. Trying to get some decent use out of the park supplied WiFi I turned to Amazon and found this..

Alfa AWUS036H High power 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g High Gain USB Wireless Long-Rang WiFi network Adapter with 5dBi Rubber Antenna and a 7dBi Panel Antenna and Suction cup / Clip Window Mount - for Wardriving & Range Extension

There are no paper instructions but they do provide a disc with instructions on a pdf and a short (no sound) video that boggles the rookie mind. The company website leaves a lot to to be desired when it comes to start up help but I did manage to get it working with out their online or phone help. I'm in Palm Springs right now and my lap top could only pull in a few towers that were usable. Once I set up the antenna I got 25+ at pretty much full strength. They provide a window antenna with suction cup and WOW what a great difference that made in a RV with metal frame and fiberglass walls plus all the other gadgets in a RV.

I would have given it 5 stars except for the set up experience as for the antenna itself it gets 5 stars. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a stronger signal.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Amazing!
By ScottyPimpin on January 31, 2012

This review is a comparison between the AWUS036H & ASUS051NH.I'll try to keep it as detailed and as short as possible.

For this comparison I installed the 7dbi panel antenna on each adapter and suction cupped both of them to a 3rd floor window pointing towards the other houses in the neighborhood. I happen to live in a very low income area so I didn't expect to see many wireless routers in the area.

My on board wirelees N card picked up 5 wireless networks, two SSID's in my house, one in my neighbors and 2 others in the neighborhood. The ASUS051NH picked up 14 networks but, i was very disappointed with the signal strength of the ASUS051NH. The 5 networks the built in wireless detected had the SAME signal strength as the ASUS051NH. The other 11 networks the ASUS051NH detected had such poor signal strength (-72dbi or worse) they weren't even usable.

The AWUS036H on the other hand is completely different. The AWUS036H discovered 17 networks (3 more than the ASUS051NH) and even most important, all of the signal strength improved. The worst signal on the AWUS036H was -67dbi vs the ASUS051NH that was -80dbi or worse. All 17 connections were usable with the AWUS036H which sadly enough, I can't say about the newer wireless N model (ASUS051NH).

Summary:
If you're looking for the best long range adapter money can buy, get the AWUS036H. Don't waste your money on the ASUS051NH model. If wireless N is an absolute must, i'd recommend the TP-LINK TL-WN722N which is half the cost and has great reviews.

5.0 out of 5 starsEhh *Edit* Amazing
By Justin on December 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the signal is only a tiny bit better for me. I have the panel attachment on and the network is right across the street. I used to get 2 bar and 1 bar signals, now im getting a 3 bar if I place it perfectly. It acts weird, I thought putting it closer to the windows would give a better signal, but its actually better in the center of my room at a certain angle. If anyone knows how to improve the range or if I'm doing something wrong pleasee help.

*EDIT*

Ok, so it turns out the software that came with this was from 2007. Went on the website and downloaded the newest drivers and now the connection is a solid 5 bars. Definitely worth the money.

Works great on all the distributions of Linux that I use. A bit slow, as it doesn't support 802.11n, but that's not necessary for what I need it for.
