Short antenna cables are better, as signal is lost in antenna cables: This antenna has the same net gain as a 7dBi antenna with a 1.5 meter cable. Jack type is MMCX: You can attach any antenna with an MMCX plug / connector:ĮXTERNAL ANTENNA is included: 5dBi antenna clips-on laptop includes 20-inch (500mm) cable (“pigtail”) with MMCX connector. The external antenna will improve the range and performance.ĪNTENNA JACK: Card has jack (socket/connector) to connect one external antenna. This card’s long operating range compared to other wireless card models (these are popular 802.11b cards for comparison) :ġ0x the Tx/Rx power of the following cards which have 30mW: Orinoco Gold & Silver, D-Link, NetGearġ2x the Tx/Rx power of LinkSys WPC11, which has 25mWĨ02.11b compliant (“WiFi”): Compatible with 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a access points Plugs into Express Card Slot: This is the newer/narrower type of slot. This card also operates in 802.11a mode (100mW in the “A” mode, with 54Mbps bandwidth). This translates into the longest range & highest bandwidth of any WiFi card on earth. Ubiquiti 11a/b/g LONG DISTANCE WIRELESS CARD: This card’s 300mW of transmission (Tx) power is the highest power of any WiFi card available – and this is the only card with 300mW of power in 802.11g mode (as well as 802.11b).

Newer laptops of Win 2000 era or younger need only to have the larger of the two plugs connected. Older laptops of Win 98 era must have BOTH of the USB connectors connected to USB ports: One of them for power. Only older laptops of Win 98 era need to have the second plug connected. >Alfa 500mW USB adapter: USB cable with 2 connectors: Reason for second cable-connector This is not a permanent fix – it will quickly re-connect the adapter the the network.
