How does this compare to the Asus WL-ANT-157 Antenna? Should I get both? The problem that I am having is that the signal is not too strong (lag when streaming video through Hulu) in my railroad type apartment where the walls are made of plaster. Would...

I tried this antenna and returned it. No improvement seen. When I then commented on this in my review I was told "you should have bought three, it's a three antenna router" (not by Asus, but somebody that was trying to be "helpful") . For the price of three antenna's, I could have bought a better router, so that makes no sense whatsoever.

I have two indoors and they both pick up many channels some of the local ones and few others. very clear if not more clear than cable. between these antennas and netflix ,hulu plus and apple tv my bill is less than half of what cable would be .so get one and try it .

Hello,I installed mine over a year ago and it works amazing up here in the mountains even with a steel building. I have 5 bars on my phone through out my 7,000 sq ft structure. As I remember I had to call Wilson and ask which antenna would be best for my system. I purchased whatever they told me to get...and it works awesome. If you are wondering...definitely call Wilson for your particular installation and location.

It come with two antennas like the one shown on the picture, and I don't think it's a high range antenna. I set up my Amped in the middle of the house on the upper leveland the lower level which directly below it, and my daughter who live in that level always complain the signal is weak often have trouble watch Netflix, so I checked with the cable company ant did a speed test on the internet, the speed shown I have approx 25 - 28 mbps. So I wonder myself whether the Amped Wireless High power router is High Power enough to provide high speed signal. By the way my house rather small, total only 1600 sq. ft.

I am now using the HD Frequency Cable Cutter antenna in place of the Amazon Basics Extreme Performance [amplified] antenna in my living room where I record broadcast TV to my PC via a Hauppauge tuner card. I just moved to Denver from the Atlanta area where my two $10 RCA non-amplified rabbit ear antennas worked fine in my basic two-story brick house in my downstairs TV room and upstairs bedroom. These antennas, however, did not perform well in either my living room or bedroom in my ground floor apartment here in the Denver area. I then tried a $30 RCA amplified antenna which was a definite improvement, but I still had challenges with both the CBS and ABC stations here. Next, I ordered the $50 Amazon Basics antenna which was noticeably better, however, the signal on the local CBS station was still choppy - even after placing the flat antenna panel in a variety of locations - and therefore annoying enough for me to try the HD Frequency Cable Cutter antenna (a lot of my favorite shows are on CBS). While it's irritating that a simple piece of stamped metal which is non-amplified costs $99, the bottom line is that its performance is noticeably better than the $50 Amazon Basics Extreme - which I am now happily using in my bedroom as it is a definite improvement over the $30 RCA antenna - and so far it has been $99 well spent.

I am not sure which model this Alfa AWUS036H belongs to ; however, I used a gray 5-Gain Alfa antenna. I received no better than my "High-end" built-in WiFi on my Alienware laptop. I bought this product and used it in the very same way/ spot, and received 8 more hotspots and all maximum bars of strength. I also bought the extension cable, because it was best to position the antenna up and outside as best as possible, like any other receiving device. The unique design and small statue gives you many posting/ tying options. You can hook, tie, and use the included suction-cup to attach to smooth flat surfaces like windows, metal poles, and maybe even siding. The Alfas produces did not give me those options, which made all the difference. I've used only this product now for over a year in both Iraq and now Afghanistan. I'm an IT guy and I value my bandwidth/ connectivities.

I live in a long valley. The antenna only worked in one location for us and that was not in the area where we have TV. I live about 10 miles east of San Francisco so many stations should be available. We decided to stay with comcast for now. Wish I could return my Walltenna. Charles

My TV is not a 2013. Its a 50pk750. The wireless receiver uses an HDMI slot and a connection called wireless controler. I mounted the device which is the size of a portable hard drive to the back of my TV and I place the transmitter on my entertainment center just below the wall mounted TV. I had no signal issues and the 1080 was fine. I did not try sending signals accross the room or through a wall. Over all.... I think its great! Weither it word on your TV. IDK. Give it a try if you have the wireless input on the back. Its worth in my opinion.

I saw a decent speed increase from 142Mbps, at the farthest reach in my house, to 260 to 330Mbps on the 5GHz band when I switched from the stock ASUS antennas to the Super Power Supply 3 x 6dbi Dual Band set. I have not tries the longer Super Power 3 x 9dbi Dual Band antenna set.

I have the same antenna, connected to a digital tv and it works well. Reception of course depends on the area in which you reside (if in a large city with tall buildings, reception is better on higher floors). If you have an analog tv, then it is necessary to connect the antenna with a coaxial cable at "IN" on a converter box, then connect another coaxial cable going "out" on the converter box and to the analog tv. I hope this helps answer your question.

Hey ASUS I have a question.I am ready to purchase the UL30A-X5, but I worry about the issues with the Wifi dropping signals. This is a dealbreaker for me as I will be using this laptop for wireless websurfing.Any comment on the problems people are having? Is it the atheros card? How can I get a unit with the the Intel card?Thanks for all your help and I really like ASUS products. Please don't make me have to buy a HP DM3.

Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there. I lived in an apartment, but I lived on the top floor of a 4 story building, nothing really blocked the signal that high. I was able to get channels other people who lived in houses couldn't. So, it all depends on where you live, and how close you think you are to the transmitters or if your in line of site to those transmitters. You might try a amplified antenna, it might help get more gain, but I too thought this Terk would do wonders, and it really didn't, if the signal isn't there it just isn't there. So, your best bet might be cable, but I understand it can be expensive. Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there.

Be glad you didn't get the Haier. I received mine Friday and I have been unable to get but only one channel and it isn't even clear. I saw other reviewers complaining about this but I thought that since I live in a metropolitan area that I wouldn't have any problems. Boy was I wrong. I am returning the Haier today and will try the Axion as I think the extra antenna they provide will do the trick.

The antenna is shared by both the WiFi and Bluetooth radios. I use them both, a lot, and haven't had any problems with interference. I have had problems getting a good WiFi signal to my computer in the past. But, with this card/antenna, I get four bars. Great performance at a great price. I guess my answer turned into a 'review'. Lol

Can't help that TV is in my bedroom. No cable. Just Antenna. But I have lot of trouble with weak signal. I have used 3 different antenna's and still a problem. Once I am in bed it seems to settle down. I am not too pleased. Barbara M. Dible

I experimented with another Phillips antenna I had lying around MANT510 that I purchased from Walmart some time ago. It works well but the TV antenna connection will only accept the coax cable that you just slide in and the connection is very short. You need to find a coax that doesn't have plastic around the connection. I suspect any indoor antenna would work. Hope this helps
