Wi-Fire is a compact, range-extending USB device that enables you to access a wireless Internet connection from up to 1,000 feet away–three times the range of your internal wireless adapter.
I thought this product sounded intriguing, especially since I lose internet signals often. I tested out the Wi-Fire in my home on my everyday-use laptop computer.
The wireless network connections went from showing 5 options to 8 when I installed the Wi-Fire CD and attached the powerful directional antenna. I thought this was kind of neat, but then again, I don’t typically use the neighbors connections. But wait! There were other benefits to me beyond the other available connections. The best part? It gave me an enhance Wi-Fi signal on my own home connection! I was happy about that!
With it, you can connect wirelessly to the Internet–even at low signal strengths–faster, more reliably and with a more consistently strong connection–than you are able to with an internal wireless adapter.
The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Just install the Wi-Fire Connection Manager, plug the Wi-Fire into an available USB port and you’re ready to start. It can rest on any flat surface, laptop display or flat screen monitor.
Simply rotate the Wi-Fire to maximize the signal strength for one of your desired networks, select the strongest available network – public access or private and encrypted – and then click connect. The Wi-Fire allows you to surf the web, tap remote applications, download large files, stream audio and video–without squinting at a tiny screen on your phone’s credit card-size keyboard. With Wi-Fire you’re now connected in places you never were before!
