5 out of 5 stars Excellent Extension.......2007-03-27

I was using a USB cable as an extension, but this cable provides a much better signal. I needed the extension to use the hotels wi-fi across the street.

5 out of 5 stars A real help if your wireless network antenna has problems in its present location.......2007-01-11

This is a tough, thin (~3.5 mm) all white extension cable to move your router or PCI card SMA thread ['g' or 'a'] wireless antenna up to 2.13m (6 foot) away from your PC or router. Being white it is very unobtrusive. I use it with the tall chubby DWL 50AT SMA antenna (Hawking etc. make similar) that is a direct replacement for the tiddly SMA one that comes with D-Link, and other, routers and PCI cards. This cable has a standard SMA (one male/one female) fitting, so it easily fits in between the antenna socket and antenna. All fittings are gold plated.

Using a simple signal strength meter I found the strongest nearby signal location to the PC. To do this you need something like the Kensington 'WIFI Finder Plus' that has a 6 LED strength meter. Using this Hawking antenna extension cable I have now put the wireless antenna 4ft above the PC monitor where the signal is very strong at 4 LEDs (dropping to 2 LEDs occasionally) compared to zero to 1 LEDS at the back of the PC. I now have a 54 Mbps (full strength/fastest speed) wireless network all the time with few drop-outs. So if your wireless network isn't running at full speed or frequently drops out, try some high gain antennas, a WIFI strength meter and one or two of these Hawking extension cables. It's a lot cheaper and easier than re-investing in new MIMO or Pre-N hardware.

I bought my Hawking extension lead from an Amazon reseller and it arrived promptly. D-link make a similar SMA extension lead to this and it is available on Amazon, but was a bit more expensive. This one worked very well for me though, is well made, and was very good buy as it was going cheap.

4 out of 5 stars very useful.......2005-09-27
