160mW High Power USB Wi-Fi Adapter *DISC

High Power USB WiFi Adapter

Our High Power USB Wi-Fi adapter cards provide wireless network connection to any computer using Windows Apple Mac or Linux operating systems. Based on the highly usable, extremely popular Realtek RTL-8187L chipset this card provides over 3 times the output wattage of most internal 30-50mW radios. Makes a great WiFi signal Booster.

Add wireless networking to your PC, or just increase your wifi range! Enjoy compact size (uses internal antenna) and simple use for the best in wireless home networking!

Includes CD with Drivers.

Features

This 160mW card is great for small laptop users and netbook users. Sleek and compact, there are no protruding antennas or SMA connector, just a printed -2dBi antenna inside the compact case.

This unit greatly outperforms the 40mW internal radio in most laptops. Considering the losses of a 6" to12” length of thin coaxial cable attached inside the laptop, we estimate the real performance of such a built-in antenna system at -5 dBi. That’s a whopping 50% less signal (based on gain alone) compared to the printed antenna in this external USB WiFi adapter. The antenna gain, paired with the 160mW power output (approximately 4x the power of the typical laptop internal wifi), will give you quite a boost without question!
