1000mW High Power 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Wireless Network Dongle with High Gain Antenna

Pros: - It looks well built. - It works under linux (tested with backtrack 3). - It works very well! I bought this an a directional antenna (sku 37185), they work great together (BTW, it's the same manufacturer). I can connect to my friend's router in another building (about 500m far, clear area) and I get a strong signal (48dB). With my built-in WIFI card (an Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) I get only 83dB of signal!

Cons: - It's a little expensive, but I think it worth the price.

Other: I'm not a wireless specialist but I can say that buying a high power WIFI card may not solve your problem, you may consider using a directional antenna too.

Pros: - Pulls in really far access points - Solid build, I dropped it several times and it still works fine - Works perfectly with most of the Backtrack-3 utilities - Does a great job with SpoonWep2 - Supports packet injection - Also displays AP power

Cons: None that I can think of. Maybe a longer USB cord would have been nice but I am splitting hairs here.

Other: - Ships with drivers that work with Win7. - Mini CD also includes a version of Backtrack-3 - Can be used as an intrusion tool, but also works very well as a USB wireless card. - Does exactly what it was designed for, a good purchase. I ordered a second one.

Pros: Does what´s supposed to. My wireless problem was solved.

Cons: Lightweight! I bought another antenna and it´s too heavy for this one. Although, the original antenna works just fine.

Other: Would buy it again. Recommended. i know its hard to buy one of these because there is too many information and you don´t know what´s true. at least, this one is real. It is indeed Realtek RL8187L.
