WiFi signals went from poor to excellent. Other WiFi signals went from "not there" to fair to good".
I just plugged the cable in to the gizmo (I did spring a coupla extra bucks for the hot-rod stick antenna). The I plugged the other end in to a USB
port, fired off the mini CD ROM disc and WOW! This ought to make those poor hotel WiFi signals enough to do things with.
I am not a compooter type person so believe me this thing is foolproof. I think.BajaBlanca - 3-17-2012 at 08:26 PM
where did you buy it ? cost ? gracias.DENNIS - 3-17-2012 at 09:08 PM
I see a guy down the street perhaps pirating a wifi signal from someone down the block with a little Dick Tracy wrist Dish. If a guy had permitted
access to a weak signal, fixed location, something like this would be fun to try.
I am OK'd to use the Wi-Fi here only it came in "poor" before and "excellent" now.sancho - 3-18-2012 at 04:17 PM
I researched making a amplfier antenna, the
term used is Cantenna, as in coffee can. Cost

Something that annoys me no end. In the past few years, a whole bunch of hotels we've stayed at in Baja have offered free wifi.
Some examples include Jardines Baja in San Quintin, both Caracoles and Cowboy in Guerrero Negro, and Hacienda Suites in Loreto.
And yet, the high priced resorts throughout Los Cabos charge for the service. Like, with their ridiculous meal and beverage charges, they can't
provide free wifi?bajatravelergeorge - 3-19-2012 at 04:08 PM
DavidE, did your computer already have a built in wifi card/antenna?DavidE - 3-19-2012 at 05:56 PM
Yes it came with it. When I connected the new antenna to the USB port and installed the CD, it was all automatic, the computer and gizmo know which
one is to be used. I don't have to select. It's supposed to be a 2012 model laptop, with the latest most sensitive WI-phi but it's a joke compared to
the USB Alpha antenna. I like the part about not needing to click on this and select that. It only prompts as to WHICH of the many more signals you
wish to connect to. Five star recommendation from a digital dummy.BCSTech - 3-20-2012 at 06:53 AM

This is the one recommended for B and G Networks (which are the most common):
