Customer Reviews:

don't waste your money [Posted on 2007-10-09]
This is a piece of junk. Poor quality materials and poor construction.

Very thin metal, cheap coax. Tripod won't lock in position.

Compared to D-Link DWL-M60AT signal strength is about the same although the SC803 is supposed to have higher gain.

Buy from a reputable vendor such as D-Link or Hawking.

Just make your own [Posted on 2008-03-30]
The Cantenna is OK but high priced and poor in performance compared to what you can make on your own. Just Google 'cantenna' and read, read, read.

I bought $15 in parts, I made my own with a better can from the super market and my signal strength was better. Cantenna gave me 13dBi. My home made job gave me 20dBi. That is a 9dBi increase and remember that every 3 dBi is a doubling in strength.

Now, if I want to, I can break down my can and use the same parts on/in another setup.

Tripod dosn't work. Requires extra 40$ in equipment. Some of the equipment works poorly with Windows Vista. The free Netstumbler is virtually un-useable. Virtually no imporvement in signal or in finding networks if your are not in a hotspot center. Look for something else!

An excellent product! Thank you WIRELESS GARDEN! [Posted on 2008-11-22]
The Super Cantenna is awsome!!!

I live in an apartment surrounded by other 3 story apartments and just pointing this thing toward the window and down toward the local coffee shop, I was pulling in a useable signal strength and getting public access wifi! I'm writing this review right now while connected to it!

I bought this with the Hawking Wireless G USB Network Adapter. This adapter is one of the only good USB adapters that has an external antenna connection. I connect the super Cantenna to the USB adapter and my USB adapter to my laptop and i'm good to go.

The included Super Cantenna tripod is cheese but that doesn't matter much as the Super Cantenna has a camera mounting screw like standard cameras have. There are plenty of cool tripods out there for cheap.

Also works great for your own network. Unscrew one of your router aerials and connect the pigtail to your router. This will boost the signal thru the Super Cantenna the direction you want it to go.

If you don't want to make a cheap "pringles" type cantenna or build one yourself, GET THIS!! Its fine tuned to work at optimal performance.

Highly Recommended!!
