The Most Powerful Wi-Fi Card Ever?
I recently bought a WiFi card from NetGate, which promotes it as being powerful enough to have a reach approximately 3 times the reach of an ordinary WiFi card. Now, I haven't done any thorough testing of the card, but so far, I haven't noticed much difference in range at all. In fact, it's been almost exactly the same as my old WiFi solution. I'm planning to do some more testing, so maybe I'll change my mind. However, I'm a little skeptical when I read claims about high power WiFi cards. Of course, as the article points out, such cards aren't allowed in some countries, so now I'll have to be careful where I travel with my card.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
