Not what they say they do.......2007-06-02

These antennas actually are worse than the smaller stock antennas that came with my Linksys Wireless router. I know these antennas do not extend the range but are suppose to boost the signal. Well they actually decreased the signal strength. The signal strength went from 84% down to 71%. I would not recommend these antennas to anyone. I didn't believe the reviews myself but found them to be true. I felt maybe some people were interpreting these antennas to increase the range and thus were giving poor reviews for that reason. When in fact of course as I said before these antennas were suppose to increased the signal strength.
I think these antennas are being discontinued anyway probably because of the poor performance, I am unhappy with Linksys for putting out junk.

Useless.......2007-05-30

Turned out to be useless. There is NO improvement with the use of this product

They worked well for me.......2007-05-07

Easy to install, they really helped improve reception for my home WAN. What was a fringe area is now totally reliable.

They don't go with the WCG200.......2007-04-29

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.

Inexpensive way to boost wireless performance.......2007-04-24

I use these with a Linksys WRT54G series router. The range seems a bit better that with the standard antennas, but I still decided to incorporate a Linksys repeater in my wireless network. If you find your router is giving a moderately weak signal, try this before an expensive solution. This product is well-built and seems to do a good job.
