Four Times more Networks Found

Without this antenna, my computer would recognize three nearby networks. With this antenna, it recognizes 12. Most networks have only two or three bars, but that's better than nothing. I'll travel with this antenna, using it in non-wifi hotels near restaurants, etc . No more need to use hotel computer in open lobby or business center. USB powered, so I don't even need an electrical outlet. The more I use it, the sooner it will pay for itself. Recommended for special situations.

Works really well.

I've had mine for along time now. About three or four, I believe. Through Windows 7, 8 and now 10, and it works great. I've been very happy with it. I wanted to order another one when I got my second desktop, about two years ago, but unfortunatly the antenna was no longer available at the time (it was no longer even listed as an item Walmart sells), and I had believed it to be discontinued. Which bummed me out. Just happened to stumble across it available again, just now, and I'm going to go ahead and snap up a second one while I can. Even though my second desktop is much closer to my router, and technically doesn't need the antenna, I've been so happy with my first antenna I want a second one, even if it's just to have a future spare.

It works. What more can be said?

Before I installed the LD antenna, I had 7 networks visible on my computer. After, I had over 15. Before, I could only connect to 1 network. After, I could connect to 14 of the networks shown. I need to travel to many client sites, some in extremely rural areas. If internet access is not available, it usually results in a severe problem. This LD antenna doesn't eliminate the problem of not having access, but it does reduce the problem to manageable levels.
