What is "Zero-Loss" Design?
Older less efficient WiFi antenna kits place significant distance between the USB adapter and antenna. As a result, the high frequency 2.4Ghz signal is not down converted and translated to USB for a considerable distance. This high frequency signal between the antenna and adapter is attenuated as it propagates or moves, through the length of cable. This is commonly referred to as cable loss. Unfortunately, there is always a percentage of antenna gain sacrificed in cable loss
How Does "Zero-Loss" design resolve this issue? Simple.
The antenna and USB adapter are integrated into one unit. This permits, virtually "Zero-Loss" between the antenna and USB adapter. Less expensive and longer USB cable runs can be achieved with absolute minimal impact on overall performance.
New! USB "Power Bridge" Cable Assembly
Extra High Quality USB Cable designed to utilize two PC USB connections simultaneously. Configuration provides optimal power for consistent high signal output.

For Windows 7 32/64 Only****
 
Now Includes RaLink's Newest WLAN Utility.
Featuring Soft AP Function - Share your Internet through Wi-Fi.
Access Point emulation (Soft AP) is used to share one Internet connection between two or more computers. Install AP on the Host, or one computer which has access to the internet through a ethernet cable or wireless. Once turned on, Soft AP configures your WiFi USB Antenna to become a wireless Access Point. Broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal, that other computers with wireless adapters can find and can connect to. Enabling anyone to surf the Internet through the AP, just like connecting to a wireless router signal. Soft AP is an inexpensive easy-to-use software application that turns any PC or laptop into a Wi-Fi wireless access point. Anyone nearby can surf the Internet through your connection. You may also use your iPhone, PDA, or mobile to connect wirelessly through the network broadcasted by Soft AP.
With Soft AP and our WiFi Antenna, you can provide internet to several PC's at distances you never thought possible.

IMPORTANT ! Please read all of the following information
- We ask all potential customers to evaluate their area for proximity to "Hot Spots" or acceptable and approved wireless networks, before purchasing this device. This can be achieved simply by using the existing wireless card in a laptop and walking around your area looking for "Hot Spots" or acceptable and approved networks to connect to. During your preliminary search, take notice to the locations in your area which yields the strongest signal or signals. This is important because the panel antenna is directional, and once installed at your location, must be faced towards the signal source you wish to connect to.
- This devices failure or inability to find or connect to "Hot Spots" or acceptable and approved wireless networks does not necessarily indicate a defective product.
Please remember, a significant number of factors affect transmission distance;
- Indoor vs Outdoor, Outdoor Optimal
- Weather
- Line of sight / Physical obstructions
- Transmission Mode / Configuration
- AP or router location
- AP or Router antenna type & gain
- Signal output level
- Reciever sensitivity
- WiFi 802.11 operating band
- Wireless congestion
- Frequency interference
- Encryption method
All these factors contribute to the overall quality of your wireless connection. Having optimal conditons in all these catagories is essential for reliable connections at the furthest distances.
It is also important to understand, that there are factors which affect your ability to connect to wireless networks, even when they are visible and appear strong.
- Security-Enabled Networks. Knowing the alpha-numeric key is necessary before connection can be achieved.
- MAC Address Filtering. Unsecured networks which have MAC Address filtering enabled, will not permit you to connect unless your wireless adapter MAC address is registered with the Network administrator.
- SSID Disabled. Most wireless access points (APs) and routers automatically transmit their network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) into open air at regular intervals, usually every few seconds. This feature of WiFi network protocols is intended to allow clients to dynamically discover and roam between WLANs. If the network administrator disables this function, your wireless utility will not discover this signal. What you can’t see, you can’t connect to.
- Critical Antenna Placement. Many networks which may have been be visible on your laptop omni-directional antenna may not be visible with this Panel antenna until it is positioned properly. This WiFi USB antenna is highly directional. It transmits and receives signals from only one side of the panel. Due to this directional narrow beamwidth pattern, these antenna must be positioned with the ABS side towards the signal source you wish to connect to. When the USB cable is pointing to the ground, the antenna is situated to receive a vertically polarized signal. Turn the antenna 90 degrees, and it is situated to receive a horizontally polarized signal.
The overall strength of the connection depends on the weakest link between the two devices. Please contact us for more details.
One Final Note;
Wireless technology simplifies the sharing of network connections between multiple computers and people. Even if you don't subscribe to Internet service, you can log on to public hot-spots or to a neighbor's wireless access point to get online. However, using someone else's Internet service isn't always a good idea. It may even be illegal. Just as entering a home or business without the owner's permission is considered trespassing (even if the doors are unlocked), likewise, accessing wireless Internet connections (even open access ones) can be considered an illegal activity. At a minimum, obtain consent from the operator of any Wi-Fi access point before using their service. Read any online Terms of Service documentation carefully when signing on, and contact the owner offline if necessary to ensure compliance. Remember, unauthorized connections may be illegal, subjecting you to penalties in the form of fines and/or imprisonment.
