We've got this 802.11g wireless USB adapter from Alfa. What sets this USB device apart from other USB adapters on the market is that this has an RP-SMA antenna connector so that you can add an external antenna to boost your wireless range. And to make things better we are including a 2 dBi gain rubber duck antenna in the sale (comes with the adapter in the retail box). Also, this has a stunning maximum 300mw output power. So if you are looking for a device to connect to an outdoor 2.4 GHz antenna, such as on a boat or an RV, this is a perfect solution. Because this is a USB adapter, it works on any computer (desktop or laptop) that has a USB port. In addition to working with the usual suspects (Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP), this also works with Windows Vista and Linux. And the necessary drivers for ALL of these operating systems are included on CD-ROM so you don't have to go searching around on the Internet. That being said, we should note that our technical staff can only provide advanced support for Windows operating systems. We can provide limited support for Linux. A quick note about output power- the adapters self regulate. This means they determine the output necessary for a given connection to avoid burnout. This means that while the adapter has a maximum output power of 300mw, it will not operate at this high power unless it needs to.

How does this compare to the AWUS036H, the 500mw adapter we sell? Many of you are probably asking this question. Quite simply, the 500mw adapter is a little better. It is more powerful, but it also costs more. This 300mw adapter is still extremely powerful compared to most all other adapters on the market today. So it is a very powerful low-cost alternative to the 500mw version. Additionally, it is slightly more portable which makes it ideal for travel. It is also great in case you don't need all the power of the 500mw version, but still want something with a lot of power. Basically, it comes down to price. If you want the best at any cost, go with the 500mw version. If you want something excellent but have a budget, the value you are getting in this auction simply cannot be beat.

This comes with the USB adapter with SMA antenna jack, and also the 2 dBi mini antenna as shown in the picture. The product is in factory white box directly from Alfa and includes the necessary drivers on CD-ROM.

***ATTENTION*** some new laptops from manufacturers like Dell and HP no longer include a PCMCIA card slot. Up until now if you bought or planned to buy one of these laptops, there would be no way for you to get a wireless connection option with an external antenna connector. This has all changed with this kit we are offering. This will work on any PC with a USB port (laptop or desktop) and is especially ideal for folks whose laptops do not have a PCMCIA slot who need a long range wireless solution! We believe that in the coming years PCMCIA cards will be a thing of the past. So even if your laptop has a slot, why not buy this kit- USB is the wave of the future and then you will be able to use this kit on any laptop or desktop you might purchase down the road.

This adapter does not have a built-in antenna. Use the included 2 dBi gain antenna or any other antenna you may already have or get that has an RP-SMA connector on it.
