D-Link 7dBi Omni-Directional Indoor Antenna 802.11B/G Base

Great product!

Strengths: Easy to hook up, works with other manufacturer's equipment.

Weaknesses: Size - it's a little over a foot long.

Summary: I am using a Belkin wireless system in my house and was getting consistently very low signal strength at night with a speed down to 5.5 Mbps with occassional complete signal drops. I screwed this antenna into the wireless card on my computer and the signal immediately went to excellent with a consistent speed of 54 Mbps.

This baby works great!

Strengths: Range, over 300ft, through walls, from one house to another. Pretty reliable so far (I only own 2 weeks, up to this point). It's cheap, after rebate.

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: Give it a try, and you might like it. I tried the Hawkings HS2 booster, it didn't work! This baby worked like a charm. Very easy to use, although I am not sure if it works with other routers.

Very happy with the purchase

Strengths: Works and easy installation.

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: I bought it for about $13 after $30 rebates from Radio Shack. Replace my U.S. Robotics router antenna with this baby. Installation took only 30 seconds and I placed the new antenna on top of my 21" Sony Trinitron monitor. I have a 3 bedroom apartment and wireless signal in the 3rd bedroom has been poor(2 bars on my laptop) in the past. Signal increased to good (4 bars) after antenna replacement and Internet speed is more than doubled. I am very happy with the D-Link antenna and highly recommend it.

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: plug it in...after you place the device in a clear, open spot. the higher, the better. remember, it is only 24* {24 degrees at typical strength} so it needs to be in the same plane as the rest of the

Antenna

Strengths: magnetic base unit with extension cable

Weaknesses: Did not improve existing signal reception.

Summary: 2005-08-22 18:32:43 The antenna might be in a bad spot but it is the only place i can put it. I get a better signal from the original antenna that i ended up putting on the base that came with it. so i guess i paid 44 bucks for the base and cable

Nice stand ornament

Strengths: None that I can see

Weaknesses: Doesn't have any effect

Summary: I have this attached to a D-Link router (624). I can tell no difference between using the antenna included with the router or this hi-gain antenna. The position of the router itself seems to have the greatest impact on the signal.
