This is the bare bones version. Bitstorm's BAD BOY Xtreme gets you on the web. Pulls in and locks onto the weakest signals. How do we do this? By putting the highest power Wi-Fi device available right at and connected directly to the antenna, the antenna cable is eliminated. What this means is that all of the available power (36dBm or 4W EIRP) goes out the antenna for maximum range and reception. And the data goes to your computer via a digital (not analog) computer grade cable. And since it's digital, you can locate your Wi-Fi device in the best location up to 300 feet (90 meters) away. No more compromises.
The biggest problem is often the line of sight that's needed for Wi-Fi. Surroundings that have water, wood and metal all conspire to reduce range. Then there's the miniscule 35-50mW that laptops put out - you can see the hotspot access point but it can't hear you. Unlike laptops and other mobile devices, this Bad Boy puts out up to 4W (36dBm) EIRP of power.
Compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux - any operating system. Rugged, completely weatherproof and continues operating in extreme temperatures. Select Wi-Fi Access Points through your browser so there's no software to install. Rail, flat surface, pole, backstay or standard adapter (1-14) mounting.
This version allowing you to add the antenna and wiring yourself. Suited for the more technically inclined and who desire to make up their own wiring cable.
