What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates.

Weaker than a 2dBi antenna

Pros: It works.
 
Cons: It works worse than the 2dBi antenna that came with my router.
 
Other Thoughts: I bought this antenna in the hope that it'd provide a small boost to the wifi connections in my home. It looks bigger than the 2dBi antenna that came with the router, but when I connected it and tested connection strength it was a little weaker than with the bundled antenna.
 
Bottomline: If you just need a replacement antenna, it'd work. If you expect a signal boost, you'll be disappointed.
(And BTW, it'd be nice if the review form said how many characters I'm missing to get to 500.)

Pros: The antenna is cheap and it works. It can lock in 3 positions. Big and heavy - looks strong.
 
Cons: Does not offer any signal improvement over stock antenna. In fact, it is even slightly worse!
The connector is metal, but is painted with non-conductive paint, so the shield is probably not connected. 
Was shipped without any packaging or documentation, only with some paper label, that was extremely difficult to remove.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Buy it if your antenna was broken/lost and you need a cheap replacement.

Pros: -Plugged this device into the back of a linksys wireless and it finds the router which is downstairs. This is a significant upgrade over not being able to find the router.
 
Cons: -I cannot think of any con. The only con would be to not buy this item. You should buy it if you just need some sort of simple solution like I did.
 
Other Thoughts: Good value for a couple bucks, now my net works.
 
Bottomline: I like internet access, so I like this device. I am really glad to be able to use the internet again after so much time not being able to use it.

Pros: a nice antenna, a bit stronger than the stock antenna =) works well on my FON router =)
 
Cons: none where i can think off, works like a charm
 
Other Thoughts: there is a nice way to get to the 500 chars.. you always can fill up this field with a story about how you fill this up, so it might sounds interesting. But this are only 134 characters and with spaces 169 but at this moment with spaces this block maked me a bunch of characters by now ?
 
Bottomline: if you want to replace a stock antenna and you don't want to spent a lot, this will do the trick :) and it is probably better than your stock antenna :O
