this is the +7db (higher gain) version of the DLink antenna in the other DLink Antenna thread.
ANT240700 vs ANT240400

and has free shipping

so if you don't mind the rebate this is a better antenna for $.06 cheaper (after shipping)

Product Link

$20 Rebate LINK Limit 2



Marginally cheaper at Buy.com after the same $20 rebate and 10% c@shback via rebation.com--- about $16 even.


Unfortunately, the rebate won't work--it's J&R, which sells it through Amazon, while the rebate form lists the valid vendors: Offer "Only Valid at:
Tech Depot, PC Mall, MacMall, onsale.com, ClubMac,
Amazon.com, ANTOnline, B & H Foto, Buy.com, Central Computer
Systems, Directron.com, Mwave, D-LinkShop, Comp-U-Plus, Dell,
eCost.com, NewBiiz, Insight, Newegg.com, Overstock, PC
Connection, PC Universe, PCNation, PROVANTAGE, Techonweb,
Super Warehouse, TekServe, ZipZoomfly and Zones."

Huh?

When I pull up the OP's link at Amazon, the product says "Shipped and sold by Amazon"---so it certainly should work.


This antenna is the ONE (and only one) deal I got a couple of years ago when CompUSA was liquidating. $7 and it improved my signal strength and coverage significantly when I attached it to my wireless router. For a desktop with a PCI wireless card, the length of the cable is also enough to place the antenna a good distance away from all the metal in the case. Those stubby black antennas are the worst, especially sticking out the back of a tower case.

This is a good deal. If I needed one right now I would jump on this.

Edit: I just checked my antenna and on the bottom I see it is the ANT24-0700. IMO a very good antenna.


I'm seeing "Ships from and sold by J&R Music and Computer World" at 10:17 PM on the East Coast.

And if you look under "More buying choices," there you will find Amazon selling it for the price and rebate as described in the OP.


if you don't want to deal with rebates, RadioShack has this on clearance (7dbi version) same one here, for 28 bucks.


So this one can be hooked up with my PCI wireless card, right?

Another option is Circuit City, they are selling it for $24.99 OTD.

Assuming your wireless card has a removable antenna, yes.


I have 4 at home for different applications. Excellent signal strength. If you add on the wind surfer reflector, you are golden.


anyone know if there is a way to hook this up to my ps3?
