Come on, let's not get into a shouting match here. I was just saying that the ladies are curious, and honestly, I’m just going to try my luck and see if I can break through 🙂. So, does this mean I can actually pull the trigger and buy it using this link?

Man, what’s the consensus on this? And is there actually any truth to the idea that N-standard is less prone to interference?

Joshua Garcia3 said:You can find an authentic TP-LINK TL-WN7200ND with 5 dBi gain around here, and honestly, it works perfectly for me.

So, here’s my thought process. First off, I noticed this Alfa unit comes with a DIRECT PANEL ANTENNA boasting 7dbi gain. From what I gather, that should actually outperform those omnidirectional ones that usually sit around 9-11dbi. 2. This card uses the N standard, which tops out at 150Mb/ps and tends to be pretty resilient against interference, though the headache is that most modern routers don't even support that standard anymore. 3. I'm not entirely sure if this specific card supports packet injection. I was hoping to test out cracking a WEP password—strictly on my own router, obviously, since I'd rather stay out of legal trouble. 4. My subscription with Comcast is about to expire, so I made a deal with my neighbor to split the bill. He lives right across from me, maybe 30m away, but there’s a wall in the way so we don't have a clear line of sight.

Anyway, I'm hoping someone can weigh in on this.

So, I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a spot where I can pick up this specific antenna and be absolutely certain it’s the real deal rather than some knockoff.
I’ve been doing a bit of digging online, and it looks like there’s an Alfa Network distributor out there selling this particular model bundled with a few extras: http://www.alfa.net.my/webshaper/sto...ProductItem=21
It’s popping up on eBay too, though I noticed one listing shows four available with four already sold😛 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alfa-AWUS036...item27d5bf66e4
Right now, I'm looking at a price point around $100, and it seems like it might come with some add-ons—kind of like this one here, featuring a directional panel antenna and a Y USB cable...
If someone could get back to me quickly, I’d really appreciate it.
