Pros: This antenna sku.9007 is reasonable, improved the signal of my net in 10 meters, however the expectation was bigger.
Cons: works fine in mine Di 524 wireless router dlink, where I use 3 notebook, only removing the original antenna and placing this of dealextreme, it is the same hook.
Other Thoughts: It has handle to place in higher place or it are of a window pra a bigger reach The delivery time was around 18 days and came in sealed up packing and protege, the only problem was well that the antenna came a little pie due to the being length.
Bottomline: The price of it very low if is compared with the prices of specialized store of computer science
Not work with me

Pros: Good product, but not work with me. Easy to install, is bigger than I imagined.
Cons: My router without antenna or with this antenna is the same. The 5 DBi antenna which I have is better than it. My router is a TP-LINK WR642G 108 Mbps.
Other Thoughts: I think that the connector link is the problem.
Bottomline: To me, isn't working. I think that the connector link is the problem. Good product, but not work with me. My router without antenna or with this antenna is the same. The 5 DBi antenna which I have is better than it.

Pros: Good antenna, could be better if the cable was shortened... but that's okay, works for me... By the way I use the entire cable lenght, it's good too, but you lose gain...
Cons: Magnetic base is weak.. so I used a glue tape to stick it at the position!! Mine is outside, taking some sun, rain wind... Still working!!!!
Other Thoughts: Not 9dBi gain, but cable is the problem!!! .....................

Bottomline: Good antenna, I could get signal 500m with a normal router, I can see the antenna, so that's good for me!! =]
Mediocre performance but at a forgiveable price

Pros: cheap
ok antenna performance
Cons: cheap base as mentioned before
weak magnet in base
too long of cable (signal loss)
inconsistent connector type on antenna (TNC vs RP-TNC)
Other Thoughts: ok this is weird, i ordered 2 units of this in one order
what i received were 2 different connector types
one antenna had RP-TNC
the other had TNC
so bases for each are different
i bought them to put on WRT54G, only 1 can be directly put on it without any adapter
Bottomline: i have 2 WRT54G running on DD-WRT
one is in bridge mode
quite far apart and 2nd one was originally getting around 27% signal. now getting around 33~35% so it is a decent ~7% gain from original antenna
(i only switched one of the antenna on this)
