USB Wi-Fi adapter with an external antenna connector?

**JohnWPB** · 10-23-2009, 06:05 AM

I have been googling for hours, and can not seem to find a USB WiFi adapter that has an external antenna connection. I want to mount a small antenna on the roof for better reception. What are people on here using?

I'm considering the same thing...

The ones that I came across (mind you, I don't have one yet) were:

I use this one: http://www.wlanparts.com/product/EUB...EUB362EXT.html

However, there is a newer model that also supports 802.11N: http://www.wlanparts.com/product/EUB...B9701EXT2.html

Thanks for the options guys! I like that EUB-362, as I never really liked the USB stick ones. Adda nice 10db antenna to it, and I will be in business.

Thanks again!

I use it with a 7db antenna and get some pretty amazing range with it.

I would second the ALFA products. I currently use the AWUS036H and I am more than pleased. I was originally going to mount an external antenna, but found that I get decent range with it being in my trunk.
