WiFi Antenna Booster increases the range of your WiFi signals

Posted in Wi-Fi by Conner Flynn on November 21st, 2010

This WiFi Antenna Booster looks like it is lit up to announce a blue-light special. Just attach it to your router and it will boost your networking signal exponentially in every way possible. There’s no need for software installation or reconfiguration.

The Signal Boosting Wi-Fi Antenna comes equipped with a flexible gooseneck that positions the antenna in an upright position for optimal signal reception. Yes, it looks dorky, but if it does what it promises, who cares? You can purchase the Signal Boosting Wi-Fi Antenna for only $59.95.

The BearExtender n3 gives you more Wi-Fi range

Posted in Wi-Fi by Conner Flynn on January 18th, 2010

The BearExtender n3 has a few advantages over other WiFi extenders. It’s cheap, it works great, and most important of all, it’s legal. This external WiFi adapter for Macs costs just $45 and was developed by Rolan Saekow, a Berkeley grad who wanted access to the campus “Airbears” network from wherever he happened to be.

Looks like it works great too. TUAW’s testing yielded stronger signals and higher throughput when they used the BearExtender over internal WiFi. The downside, if you consider it a downside, is that the BearExtender runs only on the 2.4GHz band. It doesn’t give you the option of a 5Ghz 802.11n network.

Ant Commandos Double Range Guitar

Ant Commandos Double Range Guitar
The Ant Commandos Double Range Guitar sells for $59.99 and does double duty, since it can play both Guitar Hero and Rock Band in one guitar. The Double Range Guitar plays PS2 and PS3 versions of both Guitar Hero (I, II and III) and Rock Band.

It operates on 2.4GHz wireless technology with a belt clip that gives players unlimited freedom. All of the functionality is retained, like a second set of Rock Band solo buttons near the strum bar and distortion effects. This is a great option for those with limited space who want to play both games.
