Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Hawking HWU8DD Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter
Customer Review: Not better than my laptop antenna
Summary: 2 Stars
This device pulled in a weak signal in my house better than a wireless adapter with a typical stick antenna, but it did no better than the internal adapter in my IBM X40 laptop. I don't know what kind of antenna is in the X40, but it's pretty good. The signal registered 0 bar on the USB adapter, and barely one bar on both the Hawking device and on the X40's internal adapter. Too weak to be a reliable internet connection. The dish on the Hawking device is too small to really give you much of a boost unless you have a relatively bad adapter/antenna system to start with. In order to get that signal up to two bars (high enough to provide reliable performance), I had to use a large 2' by 3' 2.4 GHz dish antenna. The big dish antenna cost about the same as the Hawking device so the only real disadvantage to using one is that it takes up a lot of space. I connected it to the wireless adapter instead of the puny antenna it came with. Big 2.4 GHz antennas are readily available on the net. Just make sure your wireless adapter has a removable antenna and that you order the big dish antenna with the right connector for your adapter.
