No clue in any of this reviews what the product actually is. Is it an antenna? If so, is it directional? What is the beam width? Do you need to point it at the target? If it is just an antenna, how do you connect it to the WiFi in you laptop? Or does...

Its a high-powered omni-directional wifi antenna that connects to the USB port on your PC or Mac and offers better reception to nearby networks. If you use the antenna in a vertical position then it will be omni-directional. If you use the antenna in a horizontal position then it will be more directional. Imagine the antenna in a vertical orientation, the signal (send and receive) pattern extruding from the antenna would look like a pancake. If you orient the antenna horizontally then the signal pattern will be like a pancake set up on its edge. You would then need to point the broad side directly at the wifi network to gain the best signal. ..its not exactly a pancake pattern, but close enough for the analogy...

Colton, I know it is confusing. Geeez, I wanted a flashlight not a computer program. Actually, Jeff Hunt gave you the correct answer. I sent mine back and got a led light that does one thing...cast bright light!

This antenna IS NOT---IS NOT....for wifi. This OUTDOOR/ROOFTOP antenna connects the CELL TOWER to a CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER/AMPLIFIER that connects to another usually indoor antenna that connects the CELL PHONE SIGNAL AMPLIFIER to to your PHONE or other NON-WIFI 3G device. f This antenna is NOT for connection to a ROUTER or other WIFI device.I hope this is clearer, now. You should seek professional assistance to get the real answers you need. And if Cyberonics recommends a particular item, then that is what you should buy.

I do not understand what you are wanting here. Is it you are wanting to use this to boost the signal inside your house and that is why you have a router? This is an external outside " directional " antenna. It helps to direct a cell phone signal to a cell phone tower. It uses a cell phone signal booster like those sold by Wilson Electronics. If this router provides a signal boost then maybe it can but I can not really answer your question without knowing what it is you want.

Unable to help you with the dimensions since it's already installed in my computer. You didn't ask for my opinion, but I must tell you that if I had to do it all over again, I would purchase a different product or run the cable for my computer to connect directly to a router. I purchased this item to give an old computer upstairs Internet access for my grandkids. (I didn't want to run a cable from my office downstairs to that computer.) Does it work?...Yes, but you might have to adjust your PC tower a little to the right or left to "tune" for the best signal. Is it easy to install?...the hardware, yes...the software, NO!!! The directions, apart from being some of the smallest print I've ever seen (I had to use magnifying goggles), were obviously written by someone who thinks the customer has the same level of knowledge about this product as they do. You will be required to make several "intuitive leaps" during the software installation process. Adding to this problem is the frustrating fact that the person who wrote the directions does not have English as a "first" language. Also, in order to overcome this, they used pictorial instructions...unfortunately, only THEY know what these drawings are intended to convey. My unsolicited advice is to try something else!

It is an antenna with a built-in usb powered amplifier. That is why you should install it on a powered usb hub. The powered hub has a more robust power supply than a typical PC usb port. A PC usb port has to share its limited power with several other ports attached to the same internal hub. The powered hub requires virtually no PC power and simply relays the amplified antenna signal into the PC's usb port. Microsoft drivers and instructions are supplied with the antenna on a CD or are downloadable. Good luck!

It is not appropriate for an indoor antenna. In that situation you have a poor signal to noise ratio. This would amplify both the signal and noise. Get a better antenna and if necessary a directional one you aim for better reception.

This is a directional antenna. you need to point it in the direction where you want to get the signal. This is regardless if in the attic or on top of the roof.

This is a standard (generic) 802.11n WiFi antenna that fits into a USB slot. Works fine on my computer for WiFi connection to my router. You may have to check with Sony to see if 3rd party antennas work on this particular TV since one is originally included with the TV.

The unit is simply an antenna designed for wifi signal. It sends and received signal which then runs thru computer to use. If you tv is internet ready already, the antenna is most likely built in. Sorry.

no focused beam...what light there is dims very rapidly...I guarantee that no body spotted a boat a half mile away with this light...I gave this light to my grandchildren to play with...if it was free it would be a bad deal...by the way it stopped working already and it hasn't even been a month.

I bought the same junk. Mine doesn't work either. I am not climbing a 50' tower to bring it down and send back. Amazon has been no help in this matter. I refuse to order any more merchandise from Amazon due to their not caring attitude for long service customers. The antenna is just plastic junk never designed to work properly. Many of us have been fooled.

It is supposed to be omni-directional, but you might have to move it around a bit, and reception is dependent on various factors to your locality, so it doesn't do any good to ask someone else how well it works.

Once you install the software for device, it should work as a regular wifi antenna, expect it extends in a far range. I still have not have had it properly work with my laptop. If you already have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) then you do not need to subscribe to anything. But if you do not have any subscriptions, then you can use this WIFI device to obtain available WIFI access points from far ranges.

I am not a knowledgeable computer person. I was able to successfully install the antenna using a "driver" downloaded from the internet, after repeated request/complaints to the company. They finally sent the driver identity to me, which resulted in the successful download. I suggest you pester them about it.

Check out the review with the 3 star rating By Bee. After the review, the manufacturer responded and recommended improving reception using a different internal and external antenna. I believe the external antenna they referenced is their Yagi direction antenna. They even provide a link to the directional antenna with a female connector, which is on Amazon too.

It has a mounting bracket that works best on a piece of pvc plastic/galvanized pipe or something similar. u want to mount it facing the host router and adjust angles for best performance either outdoors or in a window facing the window with the router in optical/visual sight of the antenna, i've found it works well in both applications if distance is within reason. On an exterior wall is good too as long as you can see the host and make appropriate adjustments (left right up down), but it has no wall mount bracket per say, you will need to be a bit creative to manage that. good luck
