Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys High Gain Antenna Kit for TNC Connectors HGA7T
Customer Review: Works well 3 Stars
This high gain Antenna kit does what its supposed to do BUT you need to know exactly what your accomplishing by replacing your OEM antenna's with these. Example: My wireless router is located under my printer in my upstairs office and when I first installed the High Gain Antenna kit I gained nothing. However when I slightly relocated the router's position nearer to the window and with a better line of sight it significantly improved the connection range/quality.So I do recommend tihs product but you should have a plan to go along with it.
Regards
Customer Review: Increase was OK
Summary: 5 Stars
Installation a snap. Unplug the router, unscrew to old and screw on the new. I read most of the reviews and bought one. I have the router and all PC's on the same floor. At a distance of 75 feet or so, I got an increase of a range of reception from 24 to 48 MBPS (at times 48, but 90% of its time at the 24-36 level) to a reception of 36 to 56 MBPS, with 48-56 90% of the time. I gave it a 5 star because it works, but I did not expect to blow the socks off of the MPBPS chart. I did not expect world beater surges of output, so, I had limited expectations and got 100% of that.Customer Review: They don't go with the WCG200
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these because Amazon popped them up under "Better Together" as a buy together deal. The Linksys WCG200 gateway (and most pci wireless cards) use SMA connectors, not TNC.
The gateway has only one antenna, not two. I believe the older Linksys routers used TNC antennas, and there were two. That's probably where the association of these antennas to the Linksys products originated.
The antennas look like a quality product and the price was right, they just don't go with the product they're being sold as "better together" with.
Customer Review: This works really very well
Summary: 5 Stars
I really wanted something low tech ... didn't want to get into the complexity of the bridge router since I have a secure network - and it's a very difficult install on one of these if you have a secure network.
Despite some of the claims in this feedback forum to the contrary, this antenna does work very well. It took a laptop we wanted to use in the basement from being entirely out of range, to regularly having "good" and occassionally having "excellent" reception. Took two seconds to install. Can't get much better than that!
Customer Review: try before you buy
Summary: 3 Stars
I have not used this product. I gave it 3 stars to be neutral. I considered buying this but...
Another reviewer mentioned building an antenna "enhancer" from http://www.freeantennas.com/prod03.htm
I did, and it worked for me. It took 15 minutes to build from (heavy) paper, tin foil and glue. It increased my signal from -78db to -65db and decreased noise from -88db to -92db on my Belkin PCI adapter. Took a little experimentation to align it, but I could not maintain a connection prior to using this.
