Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys High Gain Antenna Kit for TNC Connectors HGA7T
Customer Review: Cheap and Effective!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a linksys WRT54GS wl router. I have 2 WL G laptops and a WL G xbox 360.
The 2 laptops roam all over the house and have always had excellent signal, but the xbox 360 is in the furthest part of the house from the router. It only got 3 of 4 bars of signal strenght. Downloads were slow, and some online matches were laggy.
Also, on my laptops, DL speeds at speedtest.net were 2,000 mbps.
Now, with the high gain antennas:
Xbox 360 is 4 of 4 bars. No lag!!!!
Laptops DL speeds are 2,564 mbps !!!!
That is a MAJOR improvement over what is was and well worth the money.
Customer Review: Very disapointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I live in a ranch house with thin walls (built in the 60s) and was hoping to boost my signal beyond the kitchen into the family room (no wall between the 2 rooms). Instead the bar level remained exactly the same.
I understand that the walls between the room where the router is (relocation is not an option) could cause some blockage, but after reading the reviews and linksys own materials, I was led to believe that there would be at least some improvement. Instead, things remained as was. Heck, there wasn't even improvement within the room, with my wifi satellite radio slipping from 3 bars to 2 bars while we were still in the room.
Customer Review: Had low expectations but fast wireless connection restored!
Summary: 5 Stars
Last year, the wireless connection between the first floor router and the second floor laptop was fast and steady. Due to the proliferation of wireless networks in the neighborhood (one night my laptop picked up over ten networks!) during the last year, my connection slowed down to the point that watching streaming games from MLB was not possible. I tried changing the wireless channel, which helped, but slowdown still occurred. The kit arrived today and I installed it on my Linksys router. What a difference! The connection is as fast as ever. I can't tell the difference between wireless and wired on my network. I am one happy customer!Customer Review: Definitely Buy This Product on Amazon...

...because the price is the best you'll find, but also check Radio Shack, CompUSA, etc. for generic versions that may be cheaper. These antennas are a cinch to install, and may provide increased wireless performance. I bought them to address a dead spot in my wi-fi signal coverage area but, unfortunately, experienced no improvement in range. In the areas where I already had signal, however, there was a noticeable increase in signal strength. Therefore, I'm definitely keeping the antennas - at least until someone comes up with a "designer" version (white or putty would be OK) to better blend in with a home network environment.Customer Review: Definite improvement
Summary: 5 Stars
I had four rooms that showed signal of low to fair and regularly had speeds below the max of 54mbps. After installing these antennas in my WRT54GS 3 of the 4 rooms improved such that they receive good to excellent signal quality and maintain the highest rated speed.
My only regret is the one room that wasn't improved much was the room I was hoping to improve the most. To be fair, there's a lot of walls and other objects between there and the router so I can't fault the antenna. I'll have to look at some other mechanism for that room: relocate the router, external antenna attachment, or range extender.
