Hello friends. The other day I received this thing called a Wi-Fi USB antenna. Here in a box like this. In a nutshell, this is the same USB Wi-Fi adapter for a computer, only with a directional antenna and a wire.
WiFi USB Antenna

Description.


But compared to a regular USB Wi-Fi module or adapter, this device has significantly increased transmitter power and receiver sensitivity. Plus, the device has an outdoor design and is intended primarily for use outdoors, in an outdoor environment, and can easily withstand our frosts, as it has a wide operating temperature range and a sealed, corrosion-resistant housing.
Comes with a bracket for mounting on a wall or other support. The joint is glued with silicone for tightness. The antenna has a 5 meter long wire with a USB plug. The antenna is powered by USB and does not require additional power.
According to the manufacturer, the antenna can have a range of up to 3 kilometers. But again, this means communication between devices of the same type at a distance without barriers. It may well be that I did not have the opportunity to check.I was pleased with the results I received in the work. And I can confidently assure you that the purchase will definitely not disappoint you.

Installation.


The Wi-Fi USB antenna comes with a disk with drivers and programs. I personally didn’t even open it: I connected the antenna to the computer and netbook, and everywhere the system itself found the driver, the systems were also different. On a computer there is a ten, and not on a netbook - a seven. Moreover, no incidents occurred due to the built-in Wi-Fi modules. Naturally, if for some reason you have problems installing the software, take the disk and install it. Wi-Fi USB antenna is compatible with all Windows 7/Windows XP/Vista operating systems.
I will show you the work using the example of a netbook. Now the built-in Wi-Fi module is working and detects about 3-4 networks. We connect our remote antenna. We see that despite the fact that the antennas are located together, this antenna catches an order of magnitude more networks, and even with a better signal, this can be seen by the number of stripes on the reception icon.
And if you take the antenna out into the street, and onto a hill, then I feel you will have the entire area under control.
Our town is not big, so there are only one or two Wi-Fi points. When I went to St. Petersburg and took the antenna with me, the difference in the number of networks was exactly ten times! In the hotel where I lived, regular Wi-Fi caught 7-8 networks, and I counted 65 with the antenna. I think the result of the work is decent.
The antenna operates on the standard protocol for Wi-Fi networks 802.11b/g/n, IEEE 802.3 and communicates with all available networks on all channels of the Wi-Fi range.
The length of the USB cable is 5 meters. If necessary, you can expand it with a USB extension cable.
If you are going to install the device outdoors, I would recommend that you secure the wire to the bracket in order to prevent water from flowing down the cable from the antenna during rain. I had such a situation when I came home and found a puddle on the window.
Data transfer rate: 150 Mbit/s. Which is quite enough for any multimedia, surfing or games.
Using a computer and the included disk, you can set up a network not only as a user to receive the Internet, but also turn your PC into a router or router.

So, let's summarize:


  • Model: LG-N100 -
  • Color: white (milky).
  • Data transfer rate: 150 Mbit/.
  • WI-FI Transmission Protocol: 802.11b/g/n, IEEE 802.3
  • Package weight: 0.513 kg.
  • Product size: (LxWxH): 120x120x220mm
  • Package size: (LxWxH): 95x140x230 mm

The kit includes:


  • USB Wi-Fi antenna with 5 meter cable – 1 pc.,
  • Antenna holder – 1 pc.,
  • CD with drivers and software – 1 pc.,
  • Operating manual (in English) – 1 pc.

To everything I want to add that I bought this miracle for 1000 rubles, give or take. There are also cheaper models, but with a shorter cable length and shorter range, be careful! Order from trusted sellers.
Using this example, I want to say: I personally don’t like expressions like “it’s worth the money,” like you threw away your money, but not in vain, again like... For me it’s like this: either you’re completely satisfied with what you bought, or you’re not!
I bought this antenna and am 100% satisfied, I have no unpleasant experiences in connection with this purchase.
That's all I have) Thanks for watching! If you liked it, please give it a like. All questions are in the comments. Links are in the description under the video. Until next time.

    Hello. Where did you buy such an antenna? I live in a village, but there is an access point 300-400 meters away. According to the program for eliminating the digital divide, we have free access, although the speed is low
