Excellent product - Completely resolved my communication issues........2007-06-22
After installing the AS1SMA, my signal strength is improved, my wireless range has increased and my internet connection is noticeably more reliable. It has greatly improved the ability of my computer to operate reliably in on-line gaming environments.
Improved service between metal building........2007-05-06
Improved the service between two metal building. But is still dependent on windows in both builds to get signal out.
Extends Antenna away from back of computer.......2007-01-09
After buying the stand and attaching my hi-gain antenna I improved my signal strength and was finally able to reach the true input/output speeds
of my adapter card with no signal drop.
Get this.......2006-06-28
Not surprisingly, the standard short antenna located among the cables on the back of a desktop computer didn't work well.
I tried changing to high gain antennas on both the computer and access point (HGA7S, $49 list and HGA7T, $72 list, both overpriced), but saw no improvement. Then I tried this antenna stand, to move the computer's antenna to a better location (determined by trying several locations within reach of the cable). The signal went from "very low" to "very good".
I also moved the access point to a place closer to the center of the house (in the top of a closet on the floor below).
Highly recommended, although it would be nice if the cable was a little longer.
Helped some but is it worth the cost?.......2006-02-22
The exterior antenna did help as it got the antenna out from behind a cabinet. It did improve the signal strength for that reason, but I'll bet there are cheaper ones that work just as well.

Definite signal increase........2007-12-31
The antennas did what they were suppose to, the increased the signal. The only thing that I didn't like about them was that on the back of the package they said that they would work with the Linksys WRT54G. There was no asterisk stating that they only work up to version 6 of those routers. I had to find out by looking on line at Linksys' website. Other than that they work perfectly.
Concrete walls are no match for these antennae.......2007-12-19
I installed a wireless network for a private school system, and their high school was in a 50-year-old former public school building. Every wall was concrete block, but not the standard ones they use today, no, these were 2-inch-thick-sided survive-a-nuclear-attack type of block.
The stock antennae on the Linksys wireless routers we installed (WRT54G and WRT54GS) just weren't giving them that great a signal, so we installed these kits and BAM! Great signals everywhere.
The trick is, the way these antennae (and any long skinny antennae, for that matter) are designed, the wireless signal radiates out in a donut-shaped pattern. Imagine a donut slid onto a broom handle. That's the signal pattern. These kits make that signal stronger outward, not necessarily upward. So, in a single-story school building with concrete walls, these did their job magnificently.
Great buy and yes it will improve your distance.......2007-11-09
These antennas are a great addition to any Linksys router. I bought this so i can receive a strong signal from upstairs since down stairs. And this works perfect. The downstairs is closed since someone is living there so i needed an addition that will enable the signal to go through 2 doors and a entire floor. This worked great on my newer router but horrible on my older router. I would recommend using this on a V.4 or higher router.
very LITTLE benefit.......2007-11-02
These antennas maybe gave me 5% more coverage and they look like they would do much more. It also made the router much more cumbersome and it falls easier now. It really isnt worth it, dont pay more then 20$ for them, get them used if possible.

Little improvement.......2007-10-22
I purchase the product and although some improvement was noticed, my expectation was not achieved. I have a router installed in my bedroom and the wireless signal in my living room was merely poor/low. After I installed the signal is now between low/good. Both rooms are on the same floor, so omnidirectional should work fine.
In summary: I suggest changing signal channel, changing phone handset frequency and moving away objects that can jeopardize signal quality, such as fish tanks and microwave. After you've done it all, then you should consider buying these antennas.

HGA7S Antenna Does the Trick.......2007-12-21
I was having wireless netowrk reception problems in some areas of my house with my Lynksys WRT54GC router. The router had an option to add this antenna. After using this for about a month now, I can really say wireless signal reception has been enhanced. The signal is measurably stronger (my TIVO boxes register a 70% signal instead of 40 - 50%) and I can use my laptop with no problem in my kitchen, which used to be a dead spot. Easy to install. I really recommend this product if you're having signal issues with your Linksys wireless router.
Easy to use, does what I bought it for.......2007-11-10
The antenna was extremely simple to set-up with the Linksys router. It pretty much does what I bought it for - extending the range of the router to reach deeper into my house.
Pluses
1) Simple set-up
2) Works as advertised
Deltas
1) Rather large - 270 mm long
Antenna is worse than the standard antenna.......2007-08-23
Although this is a Linksys-branded antenna that is certainly much longer than the antenna that comes with Linksys routers, this add-on actually made my in-home signal worse! It is either defective, or this whole product line is simply not worth the money.
Works as promised.......2007-08-13
I set up a linksys wireless router at my mother-in-laws house but was disappointed with its range. Her office and cable modem were set up in a corner of the basement and sigal strength was low on other floors. I installed the high gain antenna in a few seconds and it really boosted the signal strength. She can now access her network anywhere on the first two floors. Cheap and easy upgrade.
works as described.......2007-07-10
The antenna added enough range to access the wireless router from a floor above, when previously a signal was not available.
Product Description
Increase the range of your Wireless network! Attach high gain antennas to your Linksys Wireless Broadband Router or Access Point, and increase both the effective strength of the outgoing signals, and the receive sensitivity for incoming signals. The added signal strength and sensitivity also improves close-range communication reliability because every packet comes through "loud and clear", reducing retransmissions due to weak signal reception errors. To install, just unscrew your current antennas, and attach the High Gain antennas in their place. There are no drivers to install, and no modifications to your setup are necessary. The Linksys High Gain Antenna Kit saves wiring costs and helps to build corporate wireless infrastructure by driving stronger signals into distant corners and hard-to-reach areas. And it's perfect for covering large areas in warehouse environments, public spaces, wireless hotspots, and outdoor venues - anywhere you need extra coverage for your wireless network.This kit contains two high gain antennas for TNC connectors and one antenna stabilizer.
