After trying a number of so-called "high" gain antennas (tried a number of 4dbi to 8dbi omnis and directionals), I bought this because we couldn't get decent wireless signal in our old house. It works, although I had to set it to the highest output (500mW). from Amazon.com This does what is is supposed to do. Having another piece of technology on top of my router is a little much, but it boosts the signal to places in my house where I had an unreliable signal. from Amazon.com This "amazing" booster did nothing to my signal, I have tried everything and nothing.... from Amazon.com This product came lacking cables and proper documentation I have tried over 18 times via email and phone to get the proper items from the company from Amazon.com The signal booster only helps somewhat in one part of my house. I still have problems more then 50 feet away. from Circuitcity.com awesome from Circuitcity.com Worked great. It easily doubled my network area and strenght. from Buy.com Installed one outdoors under a boathouse shed for a 90 slip marina in Virginia about a year ago. Connected to 15dbi outside antennae. from Buy.com The whole purpose for getting this item was to be able to use my laptop in the backyard. Now, I get an Excellent signal through out my house (when at times, I would have Very Low), and outside in my backyard, it's a Good to Excellent signal. from Buy.com On high, I might as well start charging my neighbors for using my wireless network! One thing to keep in mind when considering this purchase is that for some wireless routers (as in the case with my Linksys), you must make a purchase of an additional cable. Lastly, it took longer to take this item out of the Buy.com box and Hawking box than it was to set up. from Buy.com
