2200mW NextG USB-Yagi TurboTenna AND CnSR Repeater

Signal strength went from one weak one to several strong signals to choose from

I live in a 3rd floor studio apartment in Seattle. I'm astonished at how well this works. Before I had barely adequate reception with another brand long range antenna, coupled with a homemade dish to help concentrate the signals. As I'm cheap, I didn't want to spend $100 for what appeared to be possible advertised hype. Although not technically minded, this took me 5 minutes to set up, and reception doubled immediately prior to any adjustments. Signal strength went from one weak one (that sometimes failed) to several strong signals to choose from. Yes! This is the real deal, and this is the first review I've ever written because the product does (for me) what's advertised. Excellent.

Shipping was super fast and it was boxed and packed well. So far the reception is really good and a BIG improvement over the airport. Construction looks good as well. The kit is so handy that I could use it in my car close to a hotspot and bring it along whenever I travel. Once that was done it linked right up and gave me a definite signal improvement. I am in a remote area and I am going to do some more signal testing but so far I am happy with it. The tripod legs extend which is not really apparent when you look at them. They need to be extended all the way for stability. I got to test it last night at a site I have been to before with just a USB dongle. Before I could only receive a signal with about 10% strength. When I put this antenna on it got 98%! That was to a wifi hotspot about 1/3 of a mile away. Inside my office building my Macbook would only show about 75% signal to a router about 20ft away as it goes through several walls. With the TurboTenna I get 100% signal no matter which way it is pointed. All in all I think it is great so far and I can't wait to test it more. I think in time this will actually pay for itself by allowing me to connect to free hotspots instead of paying for wifi.
