http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/wifi-ant ... tenna.aspx Thought I would try this out as it was on their 'orphan' list at 69.95 Anyone had any luck using one of these? |

Now it says $120. I wonder what is inside which makes it so expensive, or if it could be 'homebrewed' duplicated. Have you (or anyone reding this) fabricated a WiFi antenna from a coffee can? I've seen a couple photos here and there. |

I got it last night, hooked it up this morning. The usual neighbors hotspot that was low signal with the built in antenna was noticeably better signal and picked up a couple more although they were encrypted. I would say if it's on sale, it probably isn't a bad buy. It runs a program similar to netstumbler which you can rescan and shows signal strength. |

I also use Microsoft's Network Monitor to sniff around http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AA8BE06D-4A6A-4B69-B861-2043B665CB53&displaylang=en |

ok, I logged into a community college hotspot that before was low or no signal 300' or so away. Now it is connecting but still low. I'm impressed so far. |

Do you have it set up inside or outside? |

mostly in car, I tried it at home where there is an unencrypted signal but that one only works in the driveway, so far. Driving around, it pings quite a few. |

Yeah I know, but I wish it came with a good operator manual. Like what all the numbers are and so forth. There could probably be a book written on NetStumbler. |
