Description

Technical Specs

The Alfa High Power Desktop Antenna was the best all-round portable WiFi booster from our recent Product Testing Review. When compared to the built-in WiFi of our Sony Vaio, the Alfa performed at about 3 - 6x the throughput, and the manufacturers claim up to a mile range although we haven't tested that yet. The beauty of this booster is it's size and versatility. The unit comes with a 6" folding and swivel antenna that is connected via a standard RP-SMA connector. That means that is you need more range, you can connect the unit to an externally mounted antenna or a larger internal antenna. In our testing however, we used the standard antenna with the unit velco'd to a window and got excellent results. One final note, when choosing an Alfa product, make sure you look for the ant-counterfeiting sticker to ensure you are receiving a genuine Alfa product.

Having difficulty installing the driver from the CD?
If you're experiencing difficulty either with the mini-CD or during the driver installation, you should try downloading the latest driver. Simply click the operating system that you have below. Your browser will download a file containing a Setup file to install the driver.

Drivers: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS (10..4 and 10.5), Windows 8 (just use the Windows 7 driver)

The Alfa uses a RealTek driver which does not support 64-bit on Mac OS. This means that support on Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion) is limited to systems that boot the 32-bit Kernel. If you are not sure, contact me for instructions on how to check if your system is booting 32-bit.

If you still have difficulty or would just like some help, feel free to give me a call (866-324-7915) or email me.
