WiFi Extenders

Hi Ed,

Looks good, I would have been tempted by this if it was available at the time!!!!

Always the way, a better one comes along just after you've bought something.

Are you home now?
 
They seem to have some with even more power but there has to be a cut off between cost & performance. I assume that the more powerful would draw even more power. I noticed that even the Rocket reduced the battery life.

Been back home 3 weeks & it seems as if we've been back ages. Thinking about planning our next trip. Needed to do a few little jobs on the van to make life a bit better. Picking up another netbook today from Comet (wife can have this one instead of the laptop & I'll have the new one :idea: tell her I need to run it in). Is it possible to run 2 PCs from one of these extenders, or do you need to use one as a server in some way.
 
Finally :dance: got around to getting a wifi extender from China, came quickly in about 7 or 8 days & as others said CD's seem pretty useless (getting runtime error or nothing when I try to run the setup) I already had Realtek USBwireless lan utility version 402.1470.518.2007 installed on my PC & it seemed to work ok. Picked up some signals just using the Kasens adapter with the aerial then even more using the planar anntena. As I will be using this on the road & I understand that it will reduce the battery life of my netbook, I have a powered USB hub but have lost the power supply for it :( I am guessing it would be 5 volts but does anybody know for sure what the input power would be? There is no make on the hub or any indication what the input power would be, it will also work without an external power supply.

I have also dowioaded the Alfa drivers & power software but for some reason I can't save the manual, I can read it online but it won't allow me to save the PDF file & asks for a logon & password.
 
New to the motorhome thing, planning on selling up and going full time MH to get out of the rat race. Well done to everyone on this thread, really informative... Although out of the rat race still need the www. ;0)
