There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now, for BT users (if you don't know what the acronym stands for don't worry about it. You will be the one most likely to learn one day by indirect means...), I didn't try the stock driver in 4 but instead decided to recompile a patched version of the driver (check air****.ng for details) right away so I don't know if it will work right out of the box BUT IT WORKS. In fact, I've been sharing the same persons resources around here since then, now even, while writing this review.
Anyhow, the only reason why I gave this device four stars for 'Power Consumption' is because its a hog (which is not neccessarily a bad thing assuming I don't get cancer or something). To be more specific, I purchased the model that comes with the 7db antenna also. But when I try to use the antenna, my computer tells me the device is exceededing its USB power limits every time. So I just use the stock antenna instead. The solution to this problem is actually very simple. Just go and get a powered USB hub. Should be that simple. Other than this slight inconvience, this is one of the best, most useful, versitile, quality (and at a great cost) electronic devices I have ever owned.
I set it up on my boat and used at the marina with ROKU, the set up works flawlessly. Streamed live TV, HBO, etc. no issues. Went out to top of enclosed flybridge and tablet had perfect signal, and this is all with only using the 5dBi antenna. Prior, without the ALFA devices, the ROKU would not work, was connected to WiFi but no internet connection, same with tablet, would connect and drop connection constantly. ALFA customer support is excellent. Very Happy, highly recommend!
