My NIC is a Linksys WMP-54G

The Antenna:
Model # - Radiolabs Model: "2.4mobile-7"
Frequency Range 2400 - 2500 MHz
VSWR <1.5 @ 100MHz bandwidth
Impedance 50 Ω
Gain 7.8 dBi
Polarization Vertical
Max. Power input 50 Watts
Ground Direct Ground (RF chassis ground with mag-mount)
Connector type RPSMA, MC-Card, MMCX, RP-TNC, N-Female
Dimensions 12" tall
Weight 1.5 pounds
Maximum wind velocity Will stay on metal roofed vehicle at any speed!
Radiator Material Stainless Steel hardware, UV resistant magnetic mount base

It actually stays on the car at speeds > 90mph. If you brush against it's pretty easy to knock off, though. GREAT reception. I'm getting 5 bars now from my home router where before I was lucky to get 1.

I use

FEATURES

High Output Power up to 200mW (23dBm)

Support for External Antenna

This thing is absolutely amazing. I find more AP's than with any of my other wireless cards/antenna combos. The external antenna support is also a big plus as you can add a higher gain antenna and improve your range even more. I haven't had time to do any distance testing yet but intend to this weekend.
