Re: [tabtrailers] Re: Wi-Fi Gadget

Ken,

I've been using this antenna/adapter for some time now and have been very pleased with it:
http://www.data-alliance.net/-strse-158/Alfa-AWUS036NH-2000mW-1000mW/Detail.bok

It is much easier to carry, set up and even allows changing antennas to achieve greater gain. The best part is that is costs $32 bucks.

I generally use it with the attached antenna iside the TAB with the unit attached to the window via suction cup. It comes with a 5db antenna but I have an 18db antenna that I can mount outside if needed.

I can park outside McD's or Panera and get an good/excellent signal from inside our T@B.

Happy surfing!
