"Works as PC wireless card range extender"
Pros: Extended connection range across the steet
Cons: None really but price is high for rod & cable on a base
Summary: I gave an older PC (Dell 2.4 Mhz P4) to a ten year old across the street and hoped she could see my ATT/Yahoo Gateway as their house doesn't have cable or landline internet access. Initially there was no connection at a distance of 200-300 feet and as ATT's Gateway doesn't have a provision for an external antenna (why would they) I tried this unit (meant to go on the DSL wireless modem) to replace the quarter wavelength antenna on the PC's wireless card. Whether it is because this antenna is full wavelength instead of quarter wave or simply because it is raised rather than at ground level, I dont know, but the youngster could now connect to my network from her house and I could see six other wireless access points in the area (with weak signal however). Thus it provided the needed signal strength.
