Has anyone ever used one of these? Do they do any good?

I don't know about that particular antenna but an antenna can
certainly get you amazing performance from WiFi. I was doing some
research when the community assn. was thinking about WiFi and stumbled
on a web page for WiFi DXers who have run close to 10 miles with clean
line of sight.
Various schemes use coffee can antennas or something based on a DSS
satellite dish.

Thanks for the help. I don't use a laptop much, but my wife has become addicted
to hers.
