I bought two of these for PC's that have D-Link DWA-552 Xtreme N wireless adapter cards. Both PC's sit on the floor under desks. The PC's are networked with a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N wireless router.
The first PC is in another room 29 feet from the router. There is one wall (wood frame/drywall) between the PC and the router. The D-Link ANT24-0230 antenna boosted the original signal strength of 3 bars (good) to a solid 5 bars (excellent). The antenna sits on top of the computer desk. I had to play around with the position of the three antennas to get a consistent 5 bar signal strength.
The second PC is in another room 51 feet from the router. There are four walls (wood frame/drywall) between the PC and the router. The D-Link ANT24-0230 antenna boosted the original signal strength of 2 and an occasional 3 bars (low to good) to a solid 4 bars (very good). The antenna sits on top of the computer desk monitor stand. I had to play around with the position of the three antennas to get a consistent 4 bar signal strength.

The wireless singal strentgh from our living room to our bedroom went up from 40-50 to 70-80. We stream HD movies to our bedroom PS3 with no problem. Games seem to work fine too.

Worked as advertised. Leave the router out of sight (so the flashing blue lights are hidden) and get the same or better reception.

The antenna improved my reception by one bar but nothing earth shattering. The cord is not long enough to actually get the antenna in a place where it could make a huge difference. I would pass on this items and go for something with a longer cord.

My router is in the second story of my house and I wanted better reception and throughput for my computers on the first level of the house and for my TIVO in the family room. I looked at lots of solutions and this one seemed like a good place to start-- not too expensive. I had modest expectations.
Altogether, the antenna and a little router "tweaking" gave me about a 20%-25% improvement in reception and speed. I'm particularly happy with TIVO throughput since I can now watch YouTube videos and download from Amazon without a problem.
While these may not seem to be amazing results, I'm not surprized. The improvements are mostly the result of being able to get the antennal up high and eliminate going through one wall. While I started out thinking this was not going to be my final solution, I've decided to stand pat with this solution for now.
