Although I should have expected it, the arrival of the first Dual-Band 802.11a/b client adapters sort of caught me by surprise. In the space of a week, SMC announced their SMC2335W and NETGEAR their WAB501.
But since NETGEAR was the first to actually get a card in my hands (and looks like the first to get them into the Retail "channel"), I'm happy to give them my first review of a dual-band adapter.
I have tried many many wifi adapters…..and I can say one thing for sure…
..I don’t know about you guys, but for me UAWIFI UA3 usb adapter is the BEST.
No other adapter can compare to this baby, it is VERY powerful.
There are few people sell them on ebay, but I got mine directly from mft. website http://www.uawifi.com price is same.
I also know that it is Made in USA, so at least by buying it I am supporting US workers…not Chinese.
Well. Got mine from uawifi.com.
Looks good and the range is good.
stop spamming everywhere.
Ou3ZiE Good point. I hadn’t thought about it quite that way. 🙂
Saw yesterday on my neighbours roof strange device with logo UAWIFI
Made a search on google, and now I know what it is))))
