the first product that made me write a review. it is so good!

So, straight to it, I'm connecting to a regular WiFi router at a neighbor's house. I've used different antennas, a huge 24db tplink antenna (mech), a cantenna (my favourite) and now this. The cantenna I used and the tplink atheros USB adapter worked fine but were still not reliable in signal. I unpacked the bad boy, put it in client mode and tried to get a wireless signal. Perfect shit. This thing won about 30 networks. Things I've never seen before. I didn't even have it outside, I just pointed to the open window and I was securely connected to the desired network. Needless to say, that thing is cool. I'm a systems architect by trade, so I design wired network and server cluster architectures. I say this because I've rarely played around with wireless devices, but I understand networks. This setup was so easy that I'm not sure I could mess things up if I tried. The instructions out of the box were accurate (even pictures of how to set up a static IP for the initial setup, my mum could do it!). Read some of the other reviews on here and just laughed when I put it up how stupid these other guys did it. it's cake if you know what an IP address is. An insanely good product for the price, versatile as it has many useful modes and the GUI is actually very nice. I'm used to devices like this ranging from $500 to $1000 for my clients, things like noise and high-end omnipresence. it's only a bargain because it's so useful.
