Antennas Direct C2VCJM ClearSteam 2V Long Range VHF/UHF DTV Antenna w/CJ Mount
Antennas Direct C2VCJM ClearSteam 2V Long Range VHF/UHF DTV Antenna w/CJ Mount

Pros: Solid signal reception.

Cons: VHF isn't as omni as the UHF, but no antenna is perfect.

Overall Review: I bought this to pick up channels up to 35 miles away in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Tried it on a stand in my living room, but not much better than the Mohu Leaf I was using. Moved it up to my attic as planned, and everything comes in crystal clear.

Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, 802.11a/b/g, Draft 802.11n

Pros: Internal antenna is nice. Simultaneous Dual-Band is what I bought it for, and I am pleased with the performance. Seeing about 4.5MB/s with 2.4(mixed G/N) and 5(N only).

Cons: Linksys firmware could use a facelift, if not some more powerful options. The web interface is still the same as last gen (WRT54G*), with a slightly different wireless screen. I expect better from a company calling itself Linksys by Cisco. Dual band is pretty new, some better documentation of the settings would be nice.

Overall Review: Slightly larger than I expected, but its ok. Didn't use the easy setup, but vista did prompt me to push the button on the router to set up encyption. If it works, could be a nice feature for less technically inclined.
