Increase Wi-Fi range 300% with a retro-looking satellite dish
If the Wi-Fi you're stealing from your neighbor just isn't cutting it for the hardcore raiding sessions, it may be time to look at a Wi-Fi signal booster. And the Hawking USB Wi-Fi Adapter has to be one of the better.
Antennas are for the weak — real Wi-Fi warriors use a miniature satellite dish on their desk. This 8dBi Hi-Gain directional dish is capable of increasing Wi-Fi range by 300%. Onboard LEDs show signal strength for more accurate positioning of the dish. Now your closest neighbor won't know what hit them. It's Mac and PC compatible and includes a 5-foot USB cable to optimize positioning.
