(More customer reviews)This little guy worked out great on one end of a 700ft bridge. Setup used 2 WAP54g configured as eth. bridge and the Hawking +15db corner antenna. Actually the Hawking provided sufficient signal that the WAP54 with the standard omni antennas worked fine at the same distance. Since the access point couldn't stay outside in the rain, the Trendnet external worked out beautifully. As I had no N-type to reversed SMA adapter, I ended up opening the unit and replacing (removing the old and soldering in the new) the 12" pigtail with a 6' RG-58 with the reversed SMA connector. Inside, I discovered a simple printed circuit board with the traces working as the antenna. Very basic but it works well.
Had I the choice to buy it again, I would have but I'd like to see these with:
1) an optional inverted SMA connector instead of the standard N-type connector for consumer WLAN use. Most commercial users that use the N-type will probably use a larger, more robust antenna anyway.
2) metal mounting hardware. It comes with a plastic base which can become oxidized and brittle in the sun and perhaps break off within a few years.
