Anyone ever use a long range Wifi adapter

[wraggster]

ive been reading up on these long range wifi adapters that can pick up a signal up to a 1000ft away, anyone ever used one and do they actually work decent ?

Only thing I've ever used was a cantenna and it works great!

The internal wireless card I have installed on my PC has a range of 200M (656ft), the signal is great for picking up the neighbours routers (or people who aren't my neighbours). Except if the routers that are the furthest don't have a decent transmitting range but can be picked up (I always thought a long distance receiver would sort that), though there must be a way around it if like me and looking to gain an extra connection when your own is playing up.

But around the home, or in your garden they work flawlessly. :cool:

Dude, that's the exact cantenna I have!
I modded my phat psp with an SMS adaptor to hook it up. It has an awesome range!

Very easy mod, the cantenna costs $50 and can hook up to routers.
