Pros: Enabled me to increase signal strength and improve data rate. Low cost (after rebate). Good instructions (outlines well the unit's field patterns and risks re magnetic base).

Cons: Does not match the picture (not a con but be aware). Also be aware that although omni-directional in the horizontal plane, its vertical field is only 36 degrees (18 degrees either side of perpendicular to the antenna). So I needed to tilt the antenna (it's positionable) to 'aim' the vertical field at the router upstairs. This improved the signal noticeably. This may explain why some people have mixed results.

Overall Review: My one (different from picture) came with a five foot cable. Still longer than some antennae on the market but not the 'six feet' that another reviewer has mentioned. You can easily remove the magnets (by unscrewing the base plate) if you're worried about the effect on hard drives and other magnetic media.

Pros: Cheap antenna, and it does what its supposed to do. It boosted my signal from none-very low all the way up to excellent.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The first picture is not of the actual product you will receive. However if you look at the third picture it is of the actual item.

Pros: Took a weak, fluctuating signal and made it a solid 4 bar signal. My desktop is located on the floor and the antenna on the Netgear card was hidden behind the desktop. The D-Link had the same connector and was easy to install.

Cons: Not a directional antenna, but still met my requirments for an improved signal.

Overall Review: Perfect for those that need to use a wirelessLAN with a desktop and can't locate their PC in an ideal locations.

Pros: My 2nd floor Linksys router would not get a signal to the 1st floor. Zero bars. Now I get 2 bars (low), but at least I can use my laptop downstairs. After rebate this thing cost just $13 bucks, so I'm not complaining.

Cons: Check your antenna(s) on your router first to make sure they are removable. Older Linksys are not removable.

Pros: This antenna greatly improved signal strength and quality. Using the antenna that came with my Linksys PCI card, I was only getting 1-2 bars on XP's wireless zero configuration service. After attaching this antenna and spending a few minutes tweaking it's placement, the signal is holding steady at 4 bars (very good). I was quite delighted to encounter such an unexpected improvement!

Cons: The unit's base, while sturdy and well constructed, is fairly large, making it difficult to place discreetly.

Overall Review: The unit looks quite different from what is pictured on Newegg.com and other sites. Personally, I find this new form factor more aesthetically pleasing. I have a feeling that my results were atypical... one should reasonably expect an improvement of 1 bar.

Pros: Using a PCI card adapter I had been getting 1-2 bars and the signal wasw always cutting out. Now it never goes below 4 and is normally at 5.

Cons: I guess it's kinda large, but thats what you get when you want a good signal.

Overall Review: Antenna has lots of plastic around the SMA connector, this makes it impossible to use directly on some routers (won't fit my Bu***lo router) The Antenna Base's extension cable has a much smaller connector though that fits everything so it's all good.

Pros: Good price. Looks good. Also It comes with a base that you can sit it on the desk or mount it to the wall. But if you have a D-Link Router the Antenna will fit right on the back of you router. Seems to work better like that.

Cons: Thought it would work alittle better. I was getting a fair signal on laptop down stairs and the Antenna brought it up to Good.

Pros: Inexpensive quality D-Link product; Really did help signal reception!

Cons: Cable may be a tad short in some situations, but surely adequate for most.

Overall Review: Replaced a D-Link pci card's stock antenna with this. Signal strength went from Low to Very Good! (After a bit of directional positioning to get up from Good.) Has to be the least expensive way to get good reception down a floor and across the house.
