Price tag Ɣ beans) and extended variety. The extended range was not insanely much better, but it is a considerable and measurable boost from the stock antenna. I went kind 84% to 96% connectivity (according to the ubuntu 10.04 wifi utility). the SMC connection is the right size, but due to the increased diameter of the antenna, some wireless goods may constructed to allow this wider diameter. This is not really a con- just be aware of it. I'm not positive why other individuals had a difficulty with this antenna. Not also a lot of things can go wrong here. I would suggest reading up on how antennas perform before assuming what would be the greatest orientation for this or any other antenna. |

Just before altering an antenna, you need to fully grasp a thing about antenna design. When utilised effectively a get antenna will increase range. When employed incorrectly a acquire antenna will minimize variety. A achieve antenna produces a stronger signal by concentrating the RF signal into a narrower beam. The antenna can’t enhance the RF only redistribute the shape and path of the pattern The typical antenna can be thought of as creating fat donut pattern. The far more gain the flatter is the donut, but as it flattens the size of the diameter increases. The maximum signal from the antenna is at 90 degrees to the antenna |< As the donut becomes squashed the quantity of signal to the top and bottom of the pattern is decreased, when the amount of signal at 90 degrees is increased So, if the access point is servicing units at the exact same level the signal is improved. If the access point is servicing units above (second floor) or beneath (basement) the use of a achieve antenna will essentially minimize the signal in those directions. |

Depending on what position my tower was in I would get 1-3 bars and low connection all the time. I added this antenna to my wireless card and my connection is solid at 4 bars no matter how I have my Pc facing and the connection is at really good. Shipping was just about as much as the aspect :( It took a handful of min to locate the appropriate position for this to get the very best connection. In the incorrect path this showed little improvement over the stock antenna. As lengthy as you get this positioned appropriate with the signal from your router you will def. see improvement. I have the larger version of this antenna on my router & they both operate fantastic. (router and Computer are about 50' away in separate homes) |

This antenna tends to make a mild improvement with no issues. Shorter antennas have a bit much less strength. Lengthy 7dbi or 8dbi antennas get a excellent deal of noise (slower) and don't perform upstairs/downstairs as effectively as brief antennas (broadcast pattern/shape). This 5dbi is just the best size. ;) It offers you a good, mild, upgrade, which performs for an increase in reliability. I want this was presented in an more version with a cord on it. Hmm, maybe 1 additional bar. Nevertheless the graphical meter isn't the most critical factor. This antenna can enhance network throughput, decrease lag and steady a connection. This product is excellent for routers, despite the fact that some routers come with 5dbi as typical gear. If you got shortchanged on the router, then purchase this item to repair that up. It also did take place to perform on my desktop Pc, despite that down behind a personal computer isn't a good location to location an antenna. The desktop Pc didn't show an enhanced signal strength, but it did show an enhance of network speed. |

Really very good at escalating signal strength. Most Adapters and a lot of routers dont have antennas this goods. Its greatest benefit is it doesnt pick up as significantly interference as my larger antenna. Also very omnidirectional and ideal size None If ur in a crowded area ur neighbors microwave may mess with ur signal |

It functions just as expected (See Other Thoughts) Desires a longer cable To reach maximum positive aspects install on Satellite Dish. For my initially setup I employed a junked Satellite Dish, Rosewill RNX-G1, and the Rosewill RNX-A5. My comprehensive setup expense no a lot more than ษ (With Newegg Discounts) My maximum ranger is about 1 1ǘ blocks of unsecured WLANS. Uncomplicated install just "Plug-n-Play" I can run Assault Cube and Youtube videos without having any lags. |

In a packaged deal, I got 2 of these with my 2 ENCORE ENLWI-G2 wireless cards for cost-free. (except Shipping) 1. It dosen't very fit this card the base of the antenna wont fit in the hole of the cards mounting bracket so it wont thread on all the way which leads to two. It took my signal strength from poor to no signal but most probably because it isn't on all the way(). I gave 2 stars instead of 1 simply because it could function on other cards. Wont return simply because all i have is a small shipping in them but I may try to modify one particular to extend my bluetooth range, just an idea |

It does what it says it will do, it did improve my signal more than the stock antenna on my Rosewill wireless adapter. I got an further bar or two. Don't expect this antenna to give you phenomenal outcomes.It's still worth it though. none I'm bumming online off of my friend from next door. My laptop or computer in my residence is on the opposite side of the property, farthest away from the router in my pals residence so if any person requires a boosted signal it's me. Performs fantastic. |

Came swiftly. Performed worse than my stock antenna. When I look across Rosewill's merchandise, I see that there doesn't appear to be any middle ground when it comes to buyer satisfaction. I'm not confident if I've ever noticed a company with this kind of outcomes, but the product apparently works very properly for some though performing poorly for other folks. Sadly, I occur to be in the latter group.This antenna did not improve my signal at all. In fact, if something the signal got weaker when I attached this. I am knowledgable with these merchandise, but I nonetheless went down the common checklist a support rep would give you just to satisfy any curiosity I would run into. None of these had been useful as the signal did not boost.I wouldn't mind trying the 8DBI antenna from Rosewill, and I wish I had purchased that one particular initial. I am not positive how to account for the "hit or miss" expertise that many people today are reporting with Rosewill goods, but it appears additional often than not their buyers are happy. Maybe I'm just unlucky. |

Operates relatively properly, upgraded Gigabyte's personal GN-WP01GS integrated antenna, boosted signal truly well. Just the practically not possible to open packaging. Make certain your device has a SMA connector. |

It's an antenna, it works. No signal boost whatsoever This tends to make a very good replacement for a broken stock antenna, nevertheless I do not advise paying for it to enhance you signal strength, it merely will not. |

It looks cool? It didn't raise the range on my B+G+N wireless router/repeater at all! In repeater mode, I can see the signal strength of other AP's and it didn't even give a 1% enhance compared to the stock antenna that's about 2Ǚ's smaller than this one. Don't get if you strategy on employing it on a repeater; you could have far better luck on just a wireless router. |

It works like an antenna must. Period. None. I can not picture why large electronics stores refuseto carry such a frequently required item. After going to many massiveretailers looking for a replacement for a broken antenna they allhad one prevalent reply...Just obtain yet another wireless NIC. That isthe most ignorant response attainable. Why would I commit myat present working NIC to a landfill when all I want is a straightforwardreplacement antenna. |

Much better than the included antennas with most wireless cards bought these days.Installs Extremely SimplyMoves 360 Degrees.Elevated wireless range from 100ft to about 250ft ƒ residence lengths) Only 5dbi. Could be much better.... but hey. 5 bucks, why not. a buck a dbi. Worth shopping for with a combo... Not standalone... unless you purchase three for an external antenna module. |
Affordable (though I didn't purchase it from Newegg, I purchased it from a friend, who bought it from Newegg, who couldn't get it to execute any greater than his original antenna), works quite effectively, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR Obtaining IN TO. None, but study under........ Right after a buddy purchased this antenna, and suffered similar final results as some of you have, I decided to test this item out. I install wireless networks, and was hunting for an low-cost larger gain antenna, and this match the bill. Following my pal told me that his signal was no better, and in some situations worse than with the original antenna, I agreed to test it for him. He lives in an apartment complicated, I reside essentially in a field. It worked perfectly for me, extending the range of my laptop from about one hundred useable feet to about 150 feet. Afterwords I brought it back to him, and brought my laptop to test his scenario. Working with Netstumbler (free WiFi signal testing software program), we found there was a TON of radio noise at his location. Installing the antenna only added to the challenge, for the similar cause it tends to make wireless perform far better. It was receiving a lot more noise. The signal to noise ratio remained virtually the very same with either antenna. Test your location ahead of working with.
