Comments about Hiro 802.11n Wireless USB Network Adapter with 5dBi External Antenna:
We have an older computer located in a room of our house which is remote from the wireless network hub. This computer is for the use of any overnight guests or occasionally for our use, however, we never knew when it would access our home network and when it would not. In desperation we looked for an alternative and read about the Hiro External Antenna.
Well, this great device "blew down the walls." Now when we want network connectivity -- it is there -- everytime -- with a strong signal.
We could not be happier with this purchase.

Comments about Hiro 802.11n Wireless USB Network Adapter with 5dBi External Antenna:
Purchased after my previous adapter died. Just out of curiosity I used inSSIDer freeware to see how many local WiFi points were in range. I was surprised to find 26 and counting. Even more surprised to find most set up on the default channels! 7 on ch 1, 11 on ch 6, 6 on ch 11. Take time to check for a clear channel (if possible) when you set up your network! This adapter and antenna combo really pulls in the signals. (even with a 20' USB cable link) I am extremely pleased with it and highly recommend it!

Comments about Hiro 802.11n Wireless USB Network Adapter with 5dBi External Antenna:
This antenna may work for some people but did not work for me. It would randomly disconnect me from the network but still show full signal. I am also overseas so that may have something to do with it...

This wireless USB adapter is a perfect choice for the home PC. The antenna is up away from the floor and easily put in a convenient location.
Install was easy and it just does what you would want it to do.
I used this to connect the home PC to a Verizon 5-Spot access point.
