Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco HGA7S HighGain Antenna for R-SMA Connectors
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
My Router: Linksys WRT54GC - Compact G Wireless Router
I was skeptical at first because of all the negative reviews of this antenna, but my concerns are now put to rest because it really has improved the strength of my wireless range and quality.
I already had excellent signal connection throughout my apartment in terms of percentages (55% lowest, 3-4 bars) but my connection wasn't very reliable. I was experiencing dropped connections for no apparent reason besides possible interference from the neighboring APs in my apartment complex.
Even the strongest 100% connections were dropping every so often with the WRT54GCs internal antenna, which is very small when I last had a look at the internals.
Now with the HGA7S Linksys Antenna I am getting a 70-75% connection in the same area that was previously giving me 55%, and now my connection is Excellent with 5 bars and 54Mbps. The best thing about the new antenna is that I no longer have dropped connections and my internet experience is better: no more lag, faster throughput, and a stable connection.
The antenna swivels around 360 degrees and bends 90 degrees from vertical to horizontal. That feature also helped with my wireless G USB dongle that I have connected to my computer tower which is oriented to the horizontal. Aligning the antenna with the USB dongles orientation helped the signal quality go up.
Overall an excellent product if you are having problems with signal quality and dropped packets. Really helped in my situation.
