The mini disc didn't work for me.

AFTER you install the driver, it works great. I have a laptop with Windows 7 Pro. The included minidisc did not work. My computer kept telling me I had to format the mini drive before I could use it. Well, formatting the minidisk would clean it up and also delete the driver and the loadable programs (which are setup.exe btw). So I went to wise tiger's website and downloaded the driver WT-AC9008 (part number of this device) for Win 7. It's a zip file and my old version of winzip didn't recognize this file. I had to install the latest version of WinZip to unzip the file. So yes, after downloading the unzipped driver; This dual antenna works great. I live in a two-story apartment complex that's literally a block long and wide - lots and lots of apartments. My laptop's Wi-Fi used to get 8 or 9 signals. NOW, with two 6dbi antennas, he "sees" about 30 signals now :). A slow home router will receive a stronger signal and downloading data from the network will be MUCH MUCH faster. But it took me a while to download the driver because the Tiger site didn't say it was a zip file - so be aware. And I would recommend you to buy this antenna. (and download the driver before connecting the antenna).

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • A little wrinkled
