Yagi WiFi Works Awesome! A true magic wand! I live in farming country with no option for cable or DSL high speed internet. The interstate highway exit is 3.5 miles from my home and I can access two hotels, a diner, and several truckstops that offers free WIFI. Even at this long distance, I still get blazing download speeds! If you live in town, you may have over 50 sources for free WIFI. The Yagi also works great when traveling with your laptop computer. There are "hot spots" just about everywhere!
Installation. It comes with a setup disk, but you really dont need it. Plug the USB cable into your computer. Windows will find it as an ethernet card or wireless device. Use the Network setup wizard to setup a wireless connection. Go to Networking and find available networks. Use the one that gives the strongest signal. Point the antenna in different directions to find available networks. I have mine hanging on the wall like a picture frame. To get a stronger signal, you can mount it outside a window or in the attic. It works with Windows, Linux, or Mac.
Note: This type of WIFI antenna is so powerful (24x stronger than normal wireless NIC card!), it is illegal in many parts of europe and asia. Check local laws to see if it is legal where you live.
Warning: Piggybacking on your neighbor's open WIFI signal could be illegal in some cities. Check local laws. It is best to use this antenna to access free networks only.
