Customer Reviews

It really works!

2008-05-16
This thing is great, it pulls in everything within at least a quarter mile. Many times stronger than the antenna in my Macbook Pro. It comes with good documentation and a CD with excellent software that shows real time signal strength and link quality. It comes in a well padded box 8" x 6" x 5" that you could pack in your suitcase. Compatible with OS 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 Exceeded my expectations.

Great solution for travel and no wi-fi coverage

2008-04-18
Recently I was travelling around seven states in the US. As you will understand that when your on holidays it is hard to stay connected to your emails, and alternatives like my iPhone would cost too much to use outside the UK. I knew this Hawkings Antenna device was available for PC's but I could not purchase a MAC version anywhere in the UK. So I thought I would take a chance on this product and purchase it while travelling.

Taking a chance really paid off. Not only did it boost the signal at my sisters house in Chicago, but while travelling I was able to access free internet connections from other Hotels across the street from where I was staying. On occasion you get a free network provided in your motel/hotel deal, but sometimes not! This product solves the problem. You simply point it in the direction of the signal and connection is very easily boosted. As most motel/hotels are clustered together finding a signal is never a problem, and since these motel/hotels are offering a free connection your not upsetting anyone.

Since coming home I am able to sit at the bottom of my garden and draw a very strong signal from my Time Capsule in a upstairs front bedroom. Very handy for extending your home or office network. I really can't say a bad thing about this product. However the inital instructions was a little confusing, but if you do experience any problems setting it up, the support via email is very quick and helpful.

If your thinking about purchasing this product I would encourage you to go ahead! You'll never regret it! Best money i have spent in a long time.
