My router is in a bedroom in the back of my apartment, but I get a great signal from my living room thanks to the antenna; whereas, before I had the antenna, I barely had any signal at all in my living room. This antenna works great with my Linksys WRT54GC router. It works quite well with my Dell XPS 1640 laptop which contains an Intel WiFi Link 5300 802.11AGN Half Mini Card.
Couldn't be easier to install: just screw it in. I got this as a replacement for the original antenna (which was lost during a move). I can now get internet access anywhere on my one acre property, so there haven't been any limitations.
Noticeable increase in signal strength around the house,especially on an Acer laptop,which already has the best antenna design of any laptop out there. Highly recommended if you don't want to shell out money on a new wireless-N router and PC card(s).Note this is wireless-G only (the most common wifi). External antenna makes a difference on the Linksys WRT54GC router just like an external antenna on a cell phone. Almost as good a signal on my wifi single antenna based HP desktop.
That by itself might have worked as well as replacing the antenna. That's an improvement from the 14 to 28 MBS we had before the antenna. The antenna helped a bit with my son's PC that was distant from the router. Receive speed now varies from 28 to 54 MBS and does not drop out as much. I think it would work even better if we had bought the cable and antenna stand to relocate it all to a better place (eg, off the floor and behind the tower).
With the supplied antenna from HP I got poor signal level, and a 2Mb transfer rate. That is pretty good for going 75 and feet through 5 walls. At home I placed this HGA7S antenna on my Linksys Wireless-G Broadband WRTP54G router and now both wireless computers get excellent signal level, and a steady 54Mb transfer rate, on both floors of my home.I also installed a HGA7S antenna on my HP m8120 computer at church. After installing the Linksys High Gain Antenna for SMA Connectors on my HP m8120n computer, I get fair signal level and 24Mb transfer rate.
