I won a linksys wireless to ethernet bridge on ebay. As I was about to pay for the unit I noticed a line at the botton of the page:
Included: Wireless Bridge (WET11)
Not included: Anthena
Now, here's the picture of the unit: picture. As you can see it's similar to USB wireless adapters, so anthena is a part of the unit. I emailed the seller asking if the unit is broken, especially since my access point is on another floor and it the bridge most likely won't get the singal without the anthena. Here's his reply:
No, it's not broken...it just doesn't come with the unit. This is because these units were used for wireless internet and were connected through pigtails going up to a satellite dish that sits atop of a 60' foot tower.
Say what? How could it not be broken if the anthena, which is part of the unit isn't included? That's like me saying the car isn't broken, it just comes without a transmission. Anyways, I reply:
Ok, now you're confusing me. Are we talking about Linksys WET11 wireless to ethernet bridge? What does satellite dish have to do with anything? I was asking about the anthena that can be seen on the side of the unit: http://i17.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/42/5a/7e_1.JPG
I'm pretty sure that anthena (as seen in the picture) is part of the unit, since without it the unit simply won't work.
His answer:
Yes, we're talking about the bridge. The unit is used to wirlessly send remote signals just like a network or for wireless internet service. This unit is universal in anything having to do with sending data remotely whether it be for a network or for internet service. The antenna does NOT come with the unit as specified in the auction.
Yes, he did specify in the auction that the anthena isn't included, but I think it was his responsibility to mention that the unit is BROKEN. He was obviously hoping that somebody (er, me) would miss that fine print at the bottom, thinking the unit is intact. Yes, it was my fault for not paying closer attention, however, I did realize that I was being screwed before I paid and I refuse to be taken advantage off, even if that means negative feedback. Anyways, here's my reply:
Ok, since the unit obviously will not work without the anthena it is a deffective unit. You claim that it's not broken, yet I fail to see how that could happen since the anthena is attached to the unit. You're obviously trying to confuse potential buyers by not specifying that the unit is damaged. Having been burned by ebay before, I'm not going to pay for a defective unit. You can go ahead and contact the next highest bidder. If you leave negative feedback I'll be forced to do the same, stating that you misrepresented your product.
Have a nice day,
