When I first got my wireless network, I shelled out $80 for a D-link 5db Wifi booster antennae. Works really well, but was expensive. Anyway I ended up setting up another wireless network at my unit (don't ask why... kind of a muck up on my behalf - lol) but one of my NICs in my PC is a PCI card, so the aerial is right down at the back of the tower - giving me 'low' signal strength.

Anyway, to cut a long story short Jaycar have the same spec. antennae as the D-link for $20! It's not as pretty and has a much shorter lead, but it works really well! Back to 'excellent' signal strength! So save yourself $60 and get one from Jaycar! :yep:
