Product Description

+7 dB WiFi Magnetic Antenna for Orinoco Gold & all cards that have an MC connector (Orinoco, Buffalo, Enterasys, Proxim) includes integral 60" (1.5m) RG-316 pigtail Our +7 dB magnetic antenna is great for WarDriving from an automobile, or parking next to a Starbucks or a public WiFi Hotspot and reading your email. Measuring 9" (23cm) tall it delivers a very impressive +7 dB gain, effectively doubling (2x) the WiFi range of most Orinoco/MC-compatible WiFi cards (including Orinoco, Proxim, Enterasys, and others.) The antenna is complete with an integrated 60" (1.5m) low-loss RG-316 cable with an MC connector to plug directly into an Orinoco Gold card or other MC connector (no additional cables or pigtails are required.) The plastic-coated magnetic base will easily adhere to most vehicles and is rated at a holding strength equal to 90 mph! (please respect local speed limits.) The +7 db magnetic antenna is omni directional and compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g.

5 out of 5 stars Range boostomatic!.......2007-04-04

This puppy delivered. It took a marginal signal at work and made it reliable. I am using it now, when before I was unable to keep a stable signal. I work un a remote spot and the wifi signals here are blocked and usually don't show up past 1 or 2 db. This antenna now brings in a signal that is 6 to 10 db. What more do you want from it?

This antenna can only be used if the magnetic base is attached to a large metal plane like a roof or body of a car. This requirement wasn't very clear in the ad.
