Wireless N 300Mbps Long-Range USB Adapter with Two 5dBi Antennas and USB 2.0 Cradle (WF-2116), 300 Mbps High Gain

Easy to install. Works with cd supplied.

I moved to an older historic building (circa 1853) with very thick brick/masonry/lath and plaster interior walls. The building has a "whole building" WiFi setup with routers on the first and 4th floors. My condo is on the second floor, immediately up the stairs from the first floor router and with pretty good line of sight placement for the WiFi signals. In fact in the front portion of my unit the signal is great. Unfortunately, I work from home and my office is in the rear of my unit - farthest from the router. As a result, I was getting very weak signals on both my Mac desktop and my work Windows laptop. I had an extender/adapter put in my front living room to boost the signal, but it didn't completely solve the problem. So after doing some research I tried one of these for my Mac (it plugs directly into the computer), did the setup (pretty straightforward) and was very pleased with the results. My reception and signal strength is now "very good" - not excellent, but certainly good enough to make it painless to use my Mac. It worked so well that I bought one for my work (Windows) computer as well. However, the installation software comes on a CD and my Windows laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player!! So, after some head scratching, I put the CD in my Mac, copied the installation software to a USB drive, and put the USB drive into my laptop, and voila! it worked. Overall very satisfied, and the price was great and they even look nice.

Sencillamente, pensé que tendría problemas con la recepción ya que el modem lo tengo en la parte baja de la casa, y mi computadora de escritorio se encuentra en el primer nivel, además de que son muros gruesos, sin embargo, no fue así, y la calidad de la señal siempre me llega completa, la transmisión de señal es excelente, según la aplicación que se instala con los controladores, y sencillamente es muy buena y a un excelente precio. De verdad no duden en adquirirla.

You need to follow Stephen Sherwood's advice on the Win 8.1 install. It crashed my Win 8.1 after installing from the default CD, but after the original CD install, download the 8.1 drivers from netis.com; unzip to a folder and run setup.exe; restart then plug in and all is well. The realtek utility installed is great as you can see all the signal strength % of wifis around, adjust your aerial direction and refresh to see it go up/down. Great value product, just beware on Win 8.1. The USB caddy worked fine for me.
