Hawking Technology's HAI15SC, 2.4GHz Hi-Gain Wireless Corner Antenna, boosts your wireless signal strength from 2dBi (standard) to 15dBi! A large problem with many wireless networks is the poor coverage area of standard Wireless networks. Hawking solves this problem with a Hi-Gain antenna that attaches directly to the external antenna connector of your Wireless Access Point or Wireless Network Adapter. By increasing the strength of your external wireless antenna, your Wireless Network distance, signal strength and performance is significantly improved. Simply point your Wireless Directional Antenna in the direction of your Access Point or Network Adapter and easily extend your signal range and quality. The Hi-Gain Corner Antenna is the perfect solution for providing Wireless coverage in very large rooms, conference halls or buildings. The high power level of the antenna ensures that every corner of your application will be covered. The Hi-Gain Corner Antenna has been specifically designed for easy installation in the corner of a wall. This also allows for easier coverage of an entire building, room or hall. Hawking's Hi-Gain Antennae are designed to work with all Wireless Access Points, Wireless Routers and Wireless Network Adapters that have removable external antennae. By using the popular Reverse-SMA connector, the Hawking Hi-Gain Antenna can be used on most wireless devices. This means you are not restricted to just Hawking Wireless products. If you have another brand's Wireless Device with the same connector you may still attach the Hawking Hi-Gain antenna to it. Hawking has also provided added support by including two antenna connectors for specialized wireless devices. Simply unscrew your current antenna and screw on Hawking's Hi-Gain antenna and you're ready to go!

Summary: Best antenna I have found
Comment: I tried a LOT of portable antennas - the commercial Cantenna, at least three different flat patch antennas, omni-directional antennas beyound counting - antennas from Asus, D-Link, Linksys, Edimax, Pacific Wireless but none of them came close.
I mainly use it with my laptop, with a high gain Engenius USB wireless adapter (Engenius EUB-362 EXT), but I have used it with other wireless adapters I have too, with the same great results. I can get a working signal with this when none of the other antennae work well (or at all). 90 degree horizontal and vertical coverage.
My only complaint is the cable is a bit thin, and I put some duct tape on the antenna to support the cable where it enters the antenna, as I was concerned to flexing here over time might cause the cable to break but it looks like it would be easy to replace if that happen - should get less cable less with a thicker cable anyway.
Very simple antenna, outstanding results, reasonable price.

Summary: Helps increase signal strength
Comment: I purchased this antenna to increase the signal strength to my repeater on the other side of the house. It gave an increase of about 2 bars on my signal strength meter but more importantly, it increased the reliability of the connection to my wife's computer and my WiFi radio. It is well worth the price.

Summary: Minimal improvement
Comment: I compared this unit to a +7db dipole antenna which cost one fourth as much, and the dipole pulled in twice as many access points with a much stronger signal. The Hawking is supposed to be a 15db unit, but it did little better than the +2dB stock antenna on the Alfa network adaptor, even when pointed directly at the access point.
I returned this unit.

Summary: Iffy performance
Comment: My WiFi system is operating inside the house. The problem is that the modem is on one side of the 70 foot first floor and my "want to operate" is on the other side. The antenna needs to operate through 2-3 concrete walls plus at least one conventional wall because of the house's overall design.
I followed the instructions, placing the unit on the wall facing the other space. Before signal levels were extremely poor or non-existant. Now signal level are just "poor". I was disappointed with the unit's performance.

Summary: 100% Signal Strength Throughout My Condo
Comment: My Condo is about 900 square feet. My wife likes to use her laptop on the kitchen table which is pretty far from my wireless router. Her average signal strength was about 60-70% which I suspected was the cause of the jitter and pausing she experienced while watching streaming video. Also, since there are 9 other wireless networks in range of ours, we experience random disconnects from our router. In an attempt to drown out the neighbor's networks, I bought this Antenna and mounted it up high in the corner of a room in the center of the condo. Amazingly, no matter which room I'm in, my laptops report a 100% signal strength and all the connectivity issues seemed to be resolved, even the jitter with streaming video. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this antenna works. My only complaint with this product is that the housing for the antenna feels/looks a little cheap.
