Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter

Not sure what it is about wireless signal extenders these days but I just enjoy posting about them. This latest one is called the Hi-Gain Wireless-G Dish Adapter and is made by Hawking. Claiming to extend wireless signals by as much as 300 fold the hi-Powered USB Wireless-G Adapter is ideal for Desktop or Laptop PC suffering from poor connections.

The USB wireless network adapter is equipped with a 8dBi Directional dish antenna which allows for faster speeds and a more reliable connection. The Hi-Gain Wireless-G Dish Adapter is a simply plug and play device connected via a USB cable so setup will be a breeze. Situated on the device are LED indicator lights which provide useful information on the signal strength so you can identify the strongest signal within your workspace.

Its downside is that although its probably as good if not better than many wireless network adapters on the market it’s not as compact. Therefore, recreational or business travelers in need of internet access then theres probably better products out there for you.

Utilising award winning Hi-Gain Antenna technology the device is priced at $62.
