This review is from: 2 pack Wi-Fi Wireless Antenna / Router Signal Booster
I have my router located close to the equipment it is connected to. This location proved to be the problem for the WIFI signal getting to the other end of the house. The nicest feature about buying this antenna is it comes with a six foot cord allowing the business end to be placed in different locations. Moving the antenna 12 inches one way or the other makes a world of difference for signal strength and data rates. I’m pleased that I now have excellent wireless internet on my patio. It will take several tries to find the “sweet spot” location, but is definitely worth the effort.

This review is from: 2 pack Wi-Fi Wireless Antenna / Router Signal Booster
I bought a 3 pack. I installed 2 of them in our 2 desktops, both of which are located at one end of the house from the router. We were originally getting a signal strength of low and now it is consistently up at the good to very good range. The improvement is due to the ability to move the antenna to a spot for good reception. There’s very little you can do with the OEM antenna that’s on the wireless card sitting behind your PC unit. I was going to use the 3rd antenna for the router, but it doesn’t fit the Linksys router we have.

This hasn’t increased the range my desktop has but has greatly increased the speed by about 100%! I get 2MB/s download on LAN and I was only getting 800KB/s before I used this antenna. Now, I get 1.6MB/s or even 1.7MB/s download speeds! Also, the price is very cheap! The magnetic base sticks anywhere easily.

Cheap and easy way to improve your signal strength,

Great increase in speed! No increase in range,
