Belkin Omni-directional Antenna

not worth it

I bought this to share my internet with my neighbor. It claims up to 300 feet and our computers are probably only 100 ft. apart....TOPS! It didn't help one bit, so I will eat this and buy a different one. Disappointed, doesn't live up to its claims.

Worked for me

Our router got moved to other end of house; as a result, reception on my Belkin card dropped from 48 mbps or something, to all-but-unusable, partly because the PC's own case unavoidably blocks the router's signal.I bought the F5D6900 antenna out of desperation. The antenna sits on top of my desk,...

Too short to be very useful...

Manufacturers description says it can be extended 5' from the card, but the cable is only 40 inches long. It barely reaches from my computer to the top of my desk and it cannot reach to my desired location. It works, but if I had known the cable was so short I would not have bothered to buy it.

F5D6900 Wireless antenna for network cards

Antenna came with a slight bend to it. Should have sent it back but used it anyway. Was not in original box. Was supposed to be new. Did not make much difference in signal strength. Went from a 20% signal to 28-30% so it did improve some. This is not the product you need if you realy want...

This item is ok. Not great. But I did see signs of improved signal. My computer I need it for is pretty far away from the normal port so I needed something like this. being that this is the only item I could use, I guess it did it's job.

You may NOT need this!

Well, you need to buy this antenna only if you absolutely cannot move or rotate your desktop.While waiting for my Belkin antenna to arrive, I rotated my desktop to bring the existing antenna in line with the router on the other end of the house. I immediately got an improvement in signal from -...

Well worth the cost!

I have a wireless network, with two laptops and two desktop systems. I get 100% signal strength throughout my house on the laptops, but when I moved a desktop system to the basement to attach to a MIDI keyboard, I got dismal signal strength (about 20%). A laptop right next to the system showed...
