Wow - almost 4x download speed!

I'm a lucky tourist! Our internet service is 200Mbps but since my office is on the other side of the house and there are about 4 walls between them I usually get around 24Mbps with two small whip antennas sticking out of the back of my computer under my desk protrude . .Connecting this antenna was simple and straightforward - just replace the cables with coax connectors at the end of the cable and you're good to go. When I first plugged it in I was a bit disappointed, with a slight increase to around 30Mbps. But after playing around with the positions and angles of the two whips, I'm now getting around 80Mbps. The key for me was to move it higher so it would sit on my monitor stand and position the two end caps horizontally in opposite directions. You may also need to do a little tinkering to get the most out of it. adjust, but always try different positions - it's definitely better than the antennas behind the PC directly above the ground.
