Does what it's supposed to... [Posted on 2007-05-16]
I bought this item for my WRT54GL with stock antennas running DD-WRT v23 SP2. The router is in the corner-most portion of the apartment, placed on the floor and is, unfortunately, covered on 3 sides by the modem (left), the PC (right), and the printer (top). Awful positioning, but that was the only place I could put it. I was getting little to no signal in my room (opposite corner, 30 ft direct distance, with walls and shelves and whatnot in between) and my wireless connection kept dropping whenever I do connect. I figured I'd give this stand a try before buying the expensive high gain antennas (HGA7T). In any case, I'm going to need the stand as the HGA7T won't fit underneath the printer. I mounted the antenna as high as the cable would permit, and now, I'm getting Good to Excellent signal in my room. That's with the stock antennas and only 48mW transmit power so the router runs cooler, too. I believe Linksys default is around 70-80mW.

The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because I think it's a tiny bit expensive for just cable and plastic. The cable could've been a bit longer, too.

Is great for reposition your antennas [Posted on 2007-05-24]
Great, extending with cable dont reduce the reception and moving the antennas place is very convinient!

Linksys antenna stand [Posted on 2007-07-22]
Works really well. I'm using the larger, "aftermarket" size antennas and can mount the antennas where they give me the best connection. Also, I did a "custom" mounting (upside down from a rafter) and had to pop the base off the stand for a minute; found they have a metal plate in the stand to act as a ground plane :). My signal strength on the Linksys monitor software went from the 30% range to the mid-50's. Previously, I'd be knocked off the air; sometimes for hours at a time. Now the signal stays at 8-14 db above the noise level and and data usually transfers at 36mbps (receive) and sometimes runs up to the 54mbps G max. Did not bother trying the stand with the original, smaller Linksys antennas that came on the router, a standard Linksys 54G NOT the speed booster or N, as I already bought and was using the better antennas. The computer is connected with a Linksys USB adapter (no internal card) using a longer USB cable, 10 ft, than came with the adapter for better placement. Setup works well, as mentioned above, at an almost clear, open air Line-Of-Sight (one low angle bounce of about 30 degrees) range of about 190 ft. to the USB adapted desktop PC; and throughout the house at 48/54mbps on a laptop with built-in wireless G.

Excellent Range - Value [Posted on 2008-07-27]
No low ratings because somebody didn't notice the antennas were not included in the photo or description... Only a 5 Star was they perform extremely well. I put a Range Extender in the middle and wireless reception is exceptionally well in the shop upstairs, a separate building.

Works great!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-10]
It serves the purpose by increasing my wifi signal. I'm very happy with my purchase.
