Wed, 25 Apr 2007 05:11:51 +0000 http://techchee.com/?p=294#comment-1763 [...] A few months ago, we learned that Buffalo’s WiFi adapter (SGH54P) could give us a 210 percent of wirless signal gain for our computer, which the range could reach up to 170m. And now they’ve just released two new much higher gain adapters. They are the Wireless-G High Gain USB 2.0 adapters, the WLI-U2-SG54HG and WLI-U2-G54HG. High gain adapters must come with special attenna. For these two Buffalo’s new products, the SG54HG uses an omni-directional antenna for optimal connection and range. The attena comes with suction cups, which is similar to the older SGH54P that you can attach it to your laptop/dsktop to keep it secured. The G54HG uses a directional antenna, where there is a signal strength indicator to allow you to tune for ideal performance. The G54HG is pretty compact, which measures at 2.8″ x 3.5″ and weighs 0.2 pounds, which it doesn’t add on any significant weight to your laptop, so you can freely carry it around with you. Other than this, these two attenas will give a Wireless-G signal reach up to a range of 1,600 feet, about 480m, which is almost 3 times higher than the one we’ve seen before. Both adapters are taking power via your USB port, which means you don’t need any external power adapters. Availability on both models is set for May at a price of $49.

When you stop by at a coffeeshop or a restaurant or some shopping complex, you’ll be able to use their WiFi connection to start posting on your blog. But if you’d been wandering around, you’d have noticed that not all coffeeshops or complexes are having WiFi/Hotspot for you. WiFi is mostly available in city areas. The coffeeshops or shopping complexes that provide WiFi hotspot to their customers, will need to subscribe to Internet broadband services, such as DSL or cable modem etc. And the WiFi is given by having a WiFi router or access point to provide the signal to your WiFi-capable computer/laptop (Through a wireless network card but all most laptops come with a built-in one nowadays). To access the Internet, your computer/laptop is to tap on their Internet broadband connection via their WiFi router/access point. As we’ve seen before we can also do so by subscribing to any Internet broadband service and have the WiFi booster to extend the signal to our neighborhood, so they can access Internet and enjoy blogging as we do. So, it’s clearly that there is a limitation of coverage for WiFi. [...] [...] As we all know, we’re all getting wireless nowadays.
