I just picked up a new linksys wireless router with the hope that my psp could be used through out the house for online stuff. Howerver, I don't have jack for range (15-20 ft max) on the psp wireless function (router is in garage). Anyone know if this thing will get me get another 30 ft thru a standard wall?

NO, but use that for leverage when posting the ebay auction 😀

Silly question. My friend lost the antenna on his wireless pci card. (He thinks the dog ate it).
Is this what this is for? Or is this for the router. I am so confused

It most likely will work for your friend.

I want this. I'm using the 3dbi one from frys for $3 after rebate and it does nothing for my upstairs reception. Also most of these fit nicely on Desktop pci wireless cards so your friend is in good shape. You can use this to more effectively steal your neigbors wireless internet too which is a bonus.

Thanks OP

That's the norm in most places. I live in a fairly average neighborhood, and i've seen roughly seven other private networks (at least half totally open to anyone who is in range) using a tiny usb thumbrive sized wireless g adapter. Most people don't think about security and positioning.

If you can't get to a certain place in your house, try moving the router around towards different corners of the room, or put a larger antenna on the receiving end, not the router. You don't want to blindly increase your transmitting distance.

Yikes. Shipping is over $7 for a $6 antenna?!

 

[fbrdphreak]

So should this be useable on a Netgear WGR614 b/g router & Netgear b/g PCI card? I haven't looked at the back of it in so long I can't remember....

slick5150: agreed, shipping is wicked expensive, but it looks like the antenna is selling for about $24 plus S&H elsewhere.

If you need one, $13 isn't such a bad price....I'm grabbing one to replace a lost antenna for an old pci wifi card so it's worth it for me....thanks OP

I have the airlink wireless router too, AR315W. Wondering if you've been seeing any disconnection problems. I've done a search on the internet seems like alot of people who use it gets dropped every 15min or so.
