FS Engenius wifi long range usb adapter $10

#1 Post by precip9 » Fri Jun 12, 2015 9:14 pm

I have some of these:
http://www.amazon.com/EnGenius-Wireless ... us+EUB-362

These are 802.11 b/g 2.4 gHz band adapters that have been noted for excellent range, but they do not do "n" protocol. They are probably still useful with most hotspots that continue to accommodate b/g clients. Since a b/g client slows down a hotspot, a hotspot can be configured to deny a b/g client. I do not know if public hotspots are doing this.

A wifi scanning utility such as http://www.metageek.com/products/inssid ... 49%2Cd.eXY

would detect networks as much as several thousand feet away. If you are in a rural situation, with connection in your house, and a distant workshed, this kind of adapter works very well with a cantenna or other directional antenna.

Because they are technically obsolete, I do not expect to sell them for cash. The price is just to comply with the listing rules. Looking to swap for misc parts useful for maintaining X61, X61T, T500/W500, and T400.
W500x3 with T9900, , T400 highnit 1280x800 with P9600, X61sx3, X61Tx3.
