very little difference I bought this to extend my wireless network up into the top bedroom, I was getting a signal there but it was always "very low" and kept dropping out. After installing this antenna I found it to be pretty much the same.. maybe there is a few less dropouts but the signal is still "very low" and webpages rarely load up without at least 2 or 3 attempts.. all in all, a waste of money.
Great antenna but Does what it says on the box, but as review below, the cable is too short - reaching desktop height - despite the instructions recommending that it is placed 5 feet off floor level. The manufacturer website is under construction, and has no contact details. That said - the antenna works, so unless you have a major reception problem, it should be ok.
Made no difference Inspired by the other reviews I bought this as a cheap option to extend my wireless range. I was somewhat surprised to find it made absolutely no difference! Maybe the other reviewers had very poor equipment to start with? I am using a D-Link DSL-2640B router which I thought was pretty normal. No signals into the garden (or even across 2 rooms into the kitchen) for me.
Easy way to increase signal strength We got this to increase the range of our standard wireless network to the end of the garden. This was about 20-25m from the current unit. I unscrewed the existing antenna, screwed in the end of the pre-installed cable that comes with this antenna and it all worked. We now have internet access from the end of the garden. Signal strength went from none to good-very good.
There's no need to turn anything off or reconfigure any network settings, and no tools required. Just make sure the antenna stands... more info
