How do I convert to from antenna to laptop for direct USB connection? Also if I want to use a wireless would I connect directly into my router?

Hi, Thise antenas are especifically made to replace a standard Antenna on a router or on PCI cards that are also using the same type of connection. If you want to plug it on a laptop, only of you have a USB wireless card with external antenna. Which are quite rare. It's better to buy directly a USB card coming with a high gain antenna and plug this one on your router. Please note that the gain is substantial.... But sometimes it just makes the difference !

Most laptops have a built-in antenna. They are usually pretty good, so I don't see the point in using a USB wireless receiver. You could always connect to your router with a lan cable, or if it has a wireless transmitter (WI-FI) you could connect wirelessly. I don't thing you could connect the flat panel antenna to your laptop.

I already had an antenna hookup that I used with the Killer 1202. For laptops, you should use the antennas already installed. I'm guessing the Tyco antennas are frequently bought with the Killer card by desktop owners (I have a custom desktop rig and bought a pair of antennas with an Intel wifi card which didn't work, which is why I bought the Killer 1202 separately).

It is a usb wifi antenna which I used with my laptop instead of the poor built-in antenna. It solved my connection problem, better than the Linksys WUSB600N USB adapter.

You can hook it up to a laptop but NOT directly. Gotta get a special wire that connects to a laptop to a radio/amplifier that connects to the speakers

Connect antenna to 'RF in' on converter. Connect converter 'RF out' to RTL dongle. Connect converter USB via cable to PC USB port (this provides the 5 volt power to the converter.

I am using the antenna portion on a windows 7 laptop. The software disk that came included did not work correctly. After numerous tries I plugged the USB plug into the laptop and to my surprise I was receiving wifi signals I had not be getting before. I can not with certainty if you would have the same results on an XP machine. For what its worth I would say just about anything I've seen that will run in windows 7 generally will run on XP.

Hi Patricia Constable, I connected the large antenna to the silver device with the green blinking light and from there to the USB port at my laptop . It's been working great for four months . Good Luck . PJM

Sorry for previous answer...wrong product... Same idea, but can connect to any wifi signal it can reach, provided you have credentials to connect. Device connects directly to what you want to bring the signal to via USB

You will need a wireless router that has removable and antennas. Unscrew one of the antennas and install the directional antenna in its place. It does not matter which antenna you choose to replace with the directional antenna. Just to let you know directionally antennas work best in pairs the best use of them is do you have one on your wireless router and then pair it with a wireless access point that has the same directional antenna. Most devices (cell phones tablets laptops) May be able to receive the Wi-Fi signal from your router they may not have enough power to send the signal back to the Wi-Fi router

this is nothing more than a small antenna ( radio waves ) that plugs into a usb port on older computers that do not have factory installed wifi.it sends and receives radio signals to and from a wireless router. it is not a physical connector.

This is merely to increase range and signal of the existing wireless/WiFi. In order to operate, it has to be connected to USB port. Since this item has such a long cord, the fact that it is hooked up to your laptop is a non-issue, IMO. I used this to extend the range from house WiFi to a detached garage several hundred feet away. The result was a solid 5 bars, a robust connection, and fast response - hooked up to a laptop with the range extender well away from the laptop.

I can't really answer the better con but it is a USB plug to plug into the computer. I didn't have a wireless card already but an external that went bad. I'm very pleased with the performance with this antenna.

I think you mis-understood the nature of this item.This is an antenna that connects TO the WiFi. It does not connect to your computer.

Can the unit work as a wireless transceiver for a laptop without a wifi transceiver? I mean, I have a laptop whose wireless radio stopped working; could I plug this thing in to its ethernet jack to get it to act like a wifi card?

Hi Bernie,Happy holidays! I just received my X-mas gift in the mail, the USB-Nano 11N Wifi-Adapter! :-D Thank you! That was very nice.This might be a dumb question but what can I use it for? Is it for older laptops and computers that don't already have a Wifi receiver built in?

No. You can connect the USB cord directly to computer. But for the wireless you do need a wireless network, and there are Internet features like Google Print that would only be available with an Internet connection.

As Michael said then you cannot hook the speaker up directly from your "Laptop To Speaker" But all you have to do is have a receiver or an amplifier as well. It would work like this "Laptop To Receiver To Speaker" ... in this case, you just get a cable like this (http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Audio-Cable-12-foot/dp/B000067RBT/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y) which connects your Laptop to Receiver. and then you use normal speaker wire from Receiver To Speaker It is the came setup as mentioned above if you use an amplifier use a receiver if you want to also be able to listen to FM/AM radio, and plan to hookup more things like a DVD Player, TV etc. it gives you more options to hookup more things, but it usually gives out less Watts. You still would be able to get a good sound out of the speaker this way. Use an amplifier if you just plan to hookup only your laptop. An amplifier gives less options of hookup many things, but it usually gives out a lot more Watts, so you would get more power/base/sound of your speaker. (one like this would make it kick ass, but less can do it as well (http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PPA450-Channel-Mount-Amplifier/dp/B0010KAJKU/ref=pd_sim_e_30) Hope it helps :-)
