Have you personally tried this? Seems like I will have to milk a few snakes to make it work? I see no way of using a USB port as an antenna - just not even remotely the sale. Best thing to do is get an external PCMCIA card like the D-Link DFE-690TXD and then make an external antenna port on it.

This high gain antenna allows you to obtain wi-fi signals at a greater distance than any card built into your laptop. Externally mounted, the vendor claims up to 1 mile range. It's powered via your USB port. http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/waverv.php Works with Mac's or PC's, Great for stealth camping. I have no relation to this company, just thought it would be a useful Westy upgrade for those of you that travel with laptops. If anyone has bought one, please share your experiences... |
