Hawking HiGain Directional Antenna, mini indoor, 7dBi - HAI7MD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mini indoor antenna does provide a boost over the standard 2dbi antenna that you receive from any typical router however this device is smaller than I had expected (seems to be only about 5-6 inches high). Further, upon installing the antenna on the back of my D-Link router, the connector on this Hawking antenna snapped off apparently due to a poor soldering job by Hawking. Luckily, the damage doesn't seem to be permanent and the antenna seems to be working despite the poor soldering.
Signal-wise, I was able to obtain about a 10% signal increase with a router on the second floor and a computer on the first floor with numerous walls in between. Not too shabby but for my purposes, I had to utilize a Hawking signal booster Hawking HiGain Signal Booster version 2 - HSB2 and a carefully-placed Trendnet antenna TRENDnet 14 dBi Outdoor High Gain Directional Antenna to achieve 100% signal (for comparison: without any enhancements, my D-Link DIR655 N Router can typically provide about 60% signal).

Wi-Fi USB Super Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live on the edge of a privately hosted, but publically available WIFI network. With my native laptop wireless, I could pick up signal outside my apartment or if I held my laptop up to my air conditioner (no window on that wall). Needless to say, I knew there had to be another option other than hanging a shelf onto my a/c and standing on a chair to receive the signal. I hung this antenna inside my a/c box, ran the cable through the a/c and VOILA, free wireless access in my apartment! It works.
Unfortunately, it is only compatible with certain mac OS versions and it is not stable. If my computer goes to sleep, the program freezes. Sometimes "Force Quit" works, sometimes it doesn't. If I force quit, I usually have to restart my computer to get the program working again. If I unplug the cable without quitting the utility program, my MAC crashes. IF i restart the computer without unplugging the cable, I can't even access the utility program to get it started.
So, if you're willing to dance the right dance, this is a great option for internet access, but I do wish they would fix their software/driver program to play better with Mac OS.

Buffalo Technology 4bBi Detachable High Gain Omni Directional Antenna-WLE-AT-NDRHB (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The "Buffalo Technology WHR-HP-G54 Wireless-G

do NOT bother to order the "optional" High Gain ... WLE-AT-NDRHB attena because it is the exact

Cisco-Linksys Antenna Stand for TNC Connectors AS2TNC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Linksys Antenna Stand for TNC Connectors AS2TNC along with a Linksys HGA7T High-Gain Antenna Kit for TNC Connectors. I live in Manhattan and wanted to be able to access my wireless Internet connection while in the park outside my apartment building.
I live on the 11th floor of steel, brick and concrete heavy building. I had zero reception from the park outside my apartment with the standard Linksys wireless router I owned - even though I placed it on the sill of a window that overlooked the park. Between the window screen, glass, etc there wasn't enough signal strength to get the connection going.
I figured that I would buy these items as an experiment. I attached the two high gain antennas that came in the kit to this base. I then placed the stand on my external air conditioner and taped it down.
I went out to the park where I now had a straight line-of-sight path to the antenna. My laptop (IBM T40 with internal antenna) had 80% signal strength at about 150 feet - amazing
I figured I would push the envelope a bit and walked in to the park a bit. At 100 yards I still had 50% signal strength. After that the signal strength dropped off pretty quickly. A 100 yards though is amazing. My techie friends are amazed at this range, which far exceeds what Linksys advertises.
I now place the antenna out on the underside of my air conditioner whenever I want access while outside - I have crazy-glued a couple of medium-sized magnets to the base and it holds well.
I am not sure what the range would be without the high gain antennas. Who cares though - the combo of these two items works beyond what I could have reasonably expected.

NETGEAR ANT24D18 14Dbi Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to use w/ a Netgear WG302 v2. The most important thing to know in advance is that it does NOT come w/ a cable to attach to the wireless access point. Netgear recommends using any of its own branded antenna cables, and this is what I did. I am using the 5m cable (ACC 10314-03) and it works.
However, I found that the WG302 with this antenna has provides less coverage for my 2 story colonial house than a Netgear WPN802 v1. I set the WPN802 into repeater mode and use the WG302 with this antenna as the access point. This arrangement works for me.

2.4ghz 20dbi Panel Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered this antenna and had it shipped to Iraq where I am stationed. Within half a hour I jury rigged a system to place it on top my buildings roof by tying it to a folding chair with some nylon cord and ran a cable to my office. In other words a very VERY redneck rig. I had very low expections....
Using just a 500mw Alfa wifi card I went from seeing 3 or so wifi networks to over 20. Some of them are off of my base which is over 4 square miles in size.... Of those I have found 3 networks which provide me with free wifi and all three of those hotspots are well over half a mile away from where I have this antenna mounted.
So by spending $60 on some cable and this antenna I now have free wifi in Iraq. The normal rate for internet over here starts at $60 and averages around $80 for slow wifi!
Once the 1watt wifi signal booster I have ordered arrives and I permanantly mount the antenna... I will provide a more indepth review! For now and very very pleased.

The Antenna comes with MOUNTING KITS. The panel antenna extends the AP ranges in a single floor setting, and it is best to be positioned in the corner of the building. The antenna is point-point, directional transmission so you can connect to LANS between the buildings in the campus settings. The coverage angle is 180 degree. It's used for outdoor ONLY. The range is up to 14700 feet (2.8 miles). The connector type is N FEMALE so strongly suggest use N MALE TYPE LOW LOSS PRE-ASSEMBLIED CABLES for best results.

Sierra Wireless AT&T USBConnect Mercury USB Modem BLADE ANTENNA w/Laptop Clip - OEM SMK TS-9 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this antenna for my T-Mobile laptop connect card which has a small port for antennas. Unfortunately when the antenna arrived it did not fit the port as it was supposed to according to the website.
Fortunately for me I was able to modify my data card antenna hole to fit without damaging the card. Once it was in it worked like a charm. I had a very clear boost in signal(don't confuse that with speed).
To clarify a little, I work on the 24th floor of a building and could barely hold on to an Edge connection which is very slow(speed). Once I plugged in the antenna I was able to get a fairly consistent 1-2 bars of 3G. This did change my speed but only because I was able to pick up the higher frequency(3G) which is faster than Edge. Antenna's themselves do not boost signal speed, they boost signal strength. In other words, the 3G signal was to weak to pick up before and the antenna gave me the boost I needed to receive it. I had to clarify because to many people mistake that about antennas.
Eventually, I purchased another larger antenna from this company directly from their website. It was a military grade antenna and holds on to the signal better and now its much more stable.
In any event, these products are great. I also, noticed that the newer antenna had a proper size component for my port.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These antennae follow spec and are a fine improvement for most consumer wireless routers, and a perfect solution for me.
I think the other reviewer may have skimmed over the obvious and well-standardized specification where Amazon product details: "male connector", when the reviewer stated "I highly recommend the seller puts a clarification about the types of connectors." Consequently, I hope this reviewer has better luck identifying clearly defined male/female connectors in other situations.
Additionally, I suppose it follows that the other reviewer may have overlooked the detailed pictures when he stated, "The product is missing detailed pictures." Perhaps he was referring to a different kind of picture, a picture other than the traditionally "visual" type.
All in all, I give this totally awesome omni-directional antenna 5 stars!!

Hawking Technology HAI6SDP/HAI6SDA Indoor Hi-Gain Directional Antenna (6dBi) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a Motorola Wireless Network Bridge communicating with Motorola wireless router. The RCV signal strength of the Bridge was too low for consistent connection. When it would connect, signal speed was very slow due to low S/N ratio. The Bridge was operating fine; XMIT/RCV signal simply too weak.
When I installed Hawking HAI6SDP High Gain antenna, the problem was immediately resolved. Signal strength increased from 4-17% using stock antenna to 28-35%. All problems resolved; speed is as good as having the wireless bridge with HAI6SDP in same room as wireless router.
HAI6SDP is a directional antenna; hence, you must keep it pointed at the access point (in my case, the wireless router). Follow Mfgr instructions to resolve special interference cases.
Even when the antenna is not perfectly pointed at my Access Point, I still get a better signal (although significant degredation does occur when not kept in proper orientation).
The unit is small, light-weight, and works as advertised. Includes simple mounting bracket, low loss cable, connection adapter.
One minor complaint: the unit is so light and connecting cable so stiff the unit will not stay put on a free-standing desktop application. I wish it had a weighted base. So, for free-standing desktop application you'll need to either put double-sided tape on unit base or place some kind of weight on the base (e.g. a shape-conformable weight such as a map weight), or choose fixed-mounting method using supplied mounting bracket.
Two thumbs up.

+9dBi 15" 3x WiFi Booster Antenna for Netgear FM114P FVM318 FWG114P MA311 ME101 ME103 WG302 WG311 with RP-SMA Connector Review

(More customer reviews)+9dB 15" Booster Antenna for "Linksys" with RP-TNC Connector
To solve the mystery of how you can get gain out of what might appear to be a omni-directional whip: This is a collinear antenna which has coils built into it so that it acts like several vertical antennas are stacked on top of one another, each creating more gain as the radiation pattern is squashed down into the shape of a toroid or doughnut so that little power is received or transmitted either directly above or below the antenna and instead concentrated in a band around the center. If the Wi-Fi antenna you want to receive from is elevated above you then you would want this kind of a antenna to be swiveled in such a manner as to put the whip at a 90 degree orientation to the remote station to allow signal reception or transmission off of the sides of the whip where the power is greatest.
Due to the way the receive and transmit pattern is in the shape of a toroid or doughnut this type of antenna can give good gain while at the same time being omni-directional, except above and below the antenna where you don't need to waste the power anyway. If you want a antenna which has much higher gain look for a more directional antenna such as the flat panel antennas, Yagi or a parabolic reflector type of antenna which depending upon the size, can have 20 dB (or more) of gain which is a factor of 100 making a 100 milliwatt or 1/10 of a watt signal seem as powerful as a 10 watt signal, or a 1 watt signal as powerful as 100 watts. If you buy a flat panel Wi-Fi antenna and get one rated for 20 dBi of gain the half power beam width for both receive and transmit will be about 20 degrees. With a 20 dBi gain flat panel directional antenna, if you point it 10 degrees to the left or right from where it should be pointed for maximum signal you will have the equivalent of 17 dB of gain but that apparent gain will quickly drop off the further away the antenna is pointed from the proper direction. Note: It is a coincidence that a 20 dBi gain antenna has a 20 degree wide half power beamwidth, normally gain and half power beamwidth do not correlate to the same numbers except in the case of a 20 dBi gain antenna.
If you want to receive or transmit to two different locations at the same time but want each to have the best signal possible using a single high gain flat panel antenna, you can cut the difference between them sacrificing some of the gain to each one and point the antenna to an area in the middle. As long as the two stations are close enough together to be within a healthy portion of the antennas area of gain this should work out fine. Obviously, you wouldn't expect to be able to use that antenna for two different locations if one was behind you and the other in front but if both are within 30 degrees from you and not too far away a 20 dBi gain antenna could be used by cutting the difference between them. If they are too far separated in azimuth direction from you use a high gain collinear antenna with more power on each end, or perhaps using a lower gain antenna which has a much wider beamwidth or separate antennas for each radio shot. You can also use a splitter designed for 2.4 GHz and combine the receive and transmit from two separate antennas together into one feedline going back to your equipment, if necessary, but there will be a 3+ dB penalty or loss of signal level when doing so but to me this seems like the best solution if you need all the gain you can get from a flat panel or highly directional antenna to each station when using a common or single Wi-Fi transmitter and receiver such as a LinkSys or other wireless router.
Here is a good rule of thumb for line of sight radio shots without buildings or other terrain in between, every time you half the distance you increase the received power from a remote location by six dB, or if you double the distance you lose six more dB of signal level. In areas where there are trees and buildings or hills between each location this rule does not apply as the signal losses can be very great for short distances.

15 dBi Pole-Mount Yagi Directional Wifi Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The pigtail is 12" long. It's just that only 6" extends outside of the unit. The other 6" runs inside the housing before connecting to the antenna proper. The pigtail connector is an N-female type. If you want to to connect this to an SMA wireless card as I did then you will need an RP-SMA Male to N Male connector. I got mine from JEFA Tech. If you're not sure what you need just call them. They are very fair on the shipping. Your combined shipping and product cost will be less than others if you do the calculations.
This is an outdoor unit but I'm using mine indoors with a six foot cable, also from JEFA. Somewhat larger than a cantenna (which I have used the regular and the super) this YAGI pulls in way more signal for about the same price. If you mount the antenna outdoors remember to run a ground!

2.4GHz Square GRID Parabolic Antenna 24dBi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This antenna works beyond my expectations. I went from a 7dBi omni-directional antenna, to this 24dBi directional antenna. I was running very slow and could not always connect. I am about 100 yards from the base router which is indoors. I do not have a clear line of sight to the house due to several large, dense trees. I mounted the antenna on a pole about 10' from the ground.
The instructions for assembling the unit are non-existent. Not even on their own website. I used common sense and a few pictures posted on Amazon. I did guess on a couple of things. It comes in five pieces.
I also purchased the TrendNet 8 meter low loss "N-type to Reverse SMA" cable. The male N-type connects to the short piggy-tail of the antenna. The Reverse SMA connects to the male SMA on the network bridge (D-Link DWL-G820).
Ran multiple speed tests on the direct connection, wireless in the house, and at the access point. The speed at the access point is slower than the direct connection, but faster than the wireless in the house. VERY HAPPY WEB SURFER!!!
