SWFu Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was just wondering where everyone buys their kit from? I recently bought a few antennas from http://www.wifi-link.com and the quality is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Bought my card from http://www.data-alliance.net/ bought a bunch of N connectors off ebay to make some antennas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deveant Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I dont get a kit, I buy parts as I need them - router from JB Hi-Fi, PCI card from MSY, etc. Haha so scary, so australian. For me PCI Adaptors, Antennas, and Routers all from MSY, or MSY price matched at other dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beakmyn Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was just wondering where everyone buys their kit from? I recently bought a few antennas from http://www.wifi-link.com and the quality is good. So do you get a free usb adapter now? I do see they have a 1watt usb adapter. That's quite a bit of power, not sure how it stays FCC legal with regards to ERP but it's something to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFu Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 So do you get a free usb adapter now? I was actually genuinely wondering where people buy their kit. I was actually impressed with a couple of 9dbi dipoles bought from there for my alfas and will be buying more, great signal and build quality (compared to ebay junk). I'd heard of http://www.data-alliance.net/ but living in the UK I'm not sure that it would be cost effective. I only noticed that free adapter after posting here and going back and buying another antenna for a fon flashed with the jasager FW. Hey its worth a try, but genuinely wasn't the intention at all. :) That 1W USB adapter has got me thinking about a 1W amp hooked up to the fon and a large omni.

Seshan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 http://www.data-alliance.net/ ships from the US, Canada, UK, Mexico. That's why I like them, not many places have shipping centers in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Haha so scary, so australian. For me PCI Adaptors, Antennas, and Routers all from MSY, or MSY price matched at other dealers. I mostly buy from MSY. When my brother ordered his Dell, we just checked the box for a wireless card, and I got the router (Netgear WGR614v8) from JB Hi-Fi, because none of the ones that MSY had at the time had a website log - my parents want that so they can see what I'm up to. (Fortunately, I go on so many websites that it fills the router's RAM, and they only get the last half-hour or so.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Amazon is fine for a lot of things, they even sell those 500mW Alfa USB cards and 600mW internal cards, although sensitivity on the Alfa cards is shit. Ebay is also good, although I tend to only use it for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
