Dear All,
Could someone please advise me regarding USB antennas to improve the
reception wifi Internet signal?
A wifi antenna doesn't normally connect via USB, but via a screw-on
coaxial connector (a smaller version of what you find on cable TV boxes).
Hawking makes a number of different external antennas which seem
to work fairly nicely. Make sure you get one compatible with your
wifi setup (e.g. 802.11A and 802.11B/G use different frequencies).
Also, I believe that some really only work with matching hardware. I added an
Edimax antenna to my router, and it actually gave slightly less signal than
the router's own antenna.
Most of the add-ons are highly directional (mine are, but I want them
that way). That may also play a part.
