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

John, I use the Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter on a couple of my
systems, and each comes with a 6' cable. The Linksys USB adapter
works well and it's well supported (other than the fact that support
for legacy adapters with Windows 7 is pitiful). I've worked with a
couple of other USB Wireless adapters, though, I favor Linksys. If
you really want to have some fun, though, make a cantenna. The
results can be more than satisfying.

John, I have tried a lot of different long range WiFi solutions over
the last 5 years but the very best is the one I have now from these
guys:

It is truly outstanding and it doesn't cost all that much compared to
some of the other systems that are out there. They are also very good
at providing support via EMAIL or telephone.

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.


I was going to say... why not just make one. I was fiddling around with that
last year... probably total cost would be under $20. It took me about a day
of fiddling after I got the parts. It was cool that I could get onto my
neighbor's wifi when I put the homebrew on the upper deck... can just barely
see his house from there. He gave me his login and it worked until the wind
finally took it. I never bothered to replace it. Now I have a wired
situation with my own internal wifi. Before, I couldn't get anything with
just the built-in laptop wifi.

I've met a few women from Jupiter and it was not a good thing.

I had a choice between Venus and Jupiter, and I went with the 5th
Dimension. "They gotta lotta nice girls ah"...there, or so I've
heard.
