Customer Review: If this costs $9.99, then buy it
Summary: 2 Stars
I tested this over 10 hours with various distances and configurations with the Linksys signal monitor on. You can watch the signal/noise numbers jump up and down. With this product, in some cases, you will get some gain and in some cases, you'll get zero gain. It depends on where the wireless access point is located and what it in the way. For what you are paying $50+, just go ahead and get an WRT54GX SRX router through TigerDirect.com, get a linksys repeater (range expander), or an access point in repeater mode.Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have two WRT54G routers. One is an older version 1.1 and the other a brand new version 5. I set both routers next to each other with the old one on channel 13 and the new one on channel 1. I tried each router with the stock antennas and then with these high gain antennas and compared the signal strength with netstumbler from about 30 feet away. I was shocked to see the difference in signal strength was hardly noticeable. Not worth the money IMHO.
I'll be returning these to the store today.
Customer Review: Dissappointing - pure and simple
Summary: 1 Stars
What a complete waste of time and money. I had - and still have - poor reception in my bed room and I bought these antennas to improve the situation. Now the problem has gone from bad to slightly worse. I could quote signal strength and signal to noise ratios, but honestly, I find a simple file transfer more revealing. Before installing the antennas I could download with 370KB/s to the bedroom. Immediately after installing the antennas the average transfer rate of the same 67MB file dropped to 195KB/s.Customer Review: Easy way to extend your WiFi network
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a great experience with this product.
Very easy to install: just unscrew the old attenae, and screw these on. That's it! Much easier than the Linksys range extender, which has some install horror stories written up here in Amazon.
Results: where I used to have 1 Mbps in my house, I now have 36 Mbps. Where I used to lose a signal, I now have 11 Mbps.
Well worth the investment. Cheaper than the Linksys range extender. I wish all technology was this easy.
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this product as I was getting dead spots in the house and the teenagers were complaining. Now I have wider range (including the back porch YEAH!) and faster download speeds -- Speakeasy now reads what my ISP says it should.
You still have to place your wireless access port in a sensible location. That is, it still doesn't work if you put it next to a stereo speaker due to interference. I have mine on a top shelf away from other electronics and it works great.
