hField Technologies Wi-Fire Wi-Fi Adapter

Bought this piece of junk a little over a year ago so I could use it to sapposably connect to wifi signals farther away... What a joke. If you are like me & do not connect to your own wifi signal & use wifi on other peoples unsecure routers, this product is NOT for you. First off, they tell you that you must point it directly towards the router, which I have tested with my own router I had. I lost connection after walking to the end of my driveway. (Which by the way I WAS pointing the Wi-Fire directly towards my router, not to mention my driveway is about 100 feet from my house) I told Wi-Fire about the issue & they responded, telling me that I had to point it towards the router (Which I just mentioned that I did) so they were useless.. I decided to just say Fk it & forget about it. I took it apart & all Wi-Fire is, is a blank Component board with a thin copper lining... They use cheap parts & sell their product for $80-$100. I have had better luck with Linksys products (Which I was using before I had bought Wi-Fire in HOPES that perhaps it would work better, but did absolutly nothing except empty my pockets negative $80. Trust me, you do NOT want this, Please, try to find another solution, or save your money, you will regret it...
