That is pretty good for going 75 and feet through 5 walls. After installing the Linksys High Gain Antenna for SMA Connectors on my HP m8120n computer, I get fair signal level and 24Mb transfer rate. At home I placed this HGA7S antenna on my Linksys Wireless-G Broadband WRTP54G router and now both wireless computers get excellent signal level, and a steady 54Mb transfer rate, on both floors of my home.I also installed a HGA7S antenna on my HP m8120 computer at church. With the supplied antenna from HP I got poor signal level, and a 2Mb transfer rate.
The signal has not improved, a waste of money. I find this unit to be of no advantage what ever.
So its been a worthwhile investment. But its effectively doubled the range of the router, and I now get a good signal in the kitchen 2 rooms away which I didn't before and I do get a weak signal enough to work with, in an upstairs bedroom at the other end of the house. Only thing is, it should have been priced at around $30 or less; the current price isn't exactly fair. I've screwed this device on to my compact Linksys router, a WRT54GC model. The antenna is huge, about 11" tall, and it dwarfs the little compact router.
Works great for my needs. added another bar to signal received - went from poor to fair. Don't expect large improvement in signal strength - get a repeater for best results.
Signal went from 'good' to 'excellent' throughout my very small house. This antenna did exactly what I'd hoped it would do.
