This review is from: Zonet ZWA1207 Dual 7dBi Omni - Directional Antenna
Pros:
Once you get it placed right, it works good. It took some time to get the right placement, but it is much better than the 2 X dbi antennas that came with my PCI-E wireless n card, located in the back of my PC. I had to move the router for a better angle, raised up the router a little bit and placed this antenna at the routers level. It is basically 20ft away from the router behind 2 steel fire rated doors and a hallway. The speed now fluctuates from 120, 150, 180, 270Mbps to 300Mbps. Most of the time it stays at 270-300Mbps. My wireless connection was disappearing from time to time, but it was not the antenna and was fixed by changing the router's channel. Overall the build quality is good, but one of the sma connectors did pull off when I pulled my PC out, but I was able to tighten it better.
Cons:
It takes a little adjusting and seems to need a good line of sight.
The antennas could be a little smaller in size even though they are 7dbi. The cable length is too short to be able to place it perfectly.
Overall Review:
With the rebate, it was the best deal for a dual 7dbi antenna from a known company. There are not many dual external sma antennas available.
