Hawking Hi-Gain HSB2 WiFi Signal Booster (wireless network amplifier)

Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to Use, Works

Cons: The humming sound it makes, fuzzy manual

Summary: This is quite a nifty product. It's fairly inexpensive, cheaper than a repeater, and works very well. I observed signal strength jump from "No Signal" (on Windows) to Very Good Signal (4 or 5 bars in Windows). Its very easy to use, just plug and go.

Do NOT expect to see INSTANT results. Mine took about a day before it seemed to reach full strength, and for several days the signal strength fluctuated a bit, then stablized.

The only bad thing, aside from startup, is the slight humming noise, easily drowned out by a quiet computer. The manual is rather fuzzy though, literally, making it hard to read. But installation is a no brainer.

PS. HSB1 and HSB2 are the EXACT SAME THING. Mine was shipped with a note saying HSB1 labelled products would be in HSB2 boxes, and that they are identical in everyway.
