great for relocating wifi antennas to improve reception
So far this antenna extender is working well. My pc was not getting a great connection due to the case essentially sitting inside a metal box, right next to a bunch of other equipment. This cable is has plenty of length that allowed me to get it out of the way, and still have enough to do some cable management. The wifi signal was much better, but I only have 2.4 and 5ghz, so I can't say if wifi 6 or 7 would be effected. My bluetooth connectivity also improved.The magnet on the base could be stronger. I've had wifi antenna's that came with motherboards that had stronger magnets. However they do the job well enough.This won't magically make your signal better, or boost the strength of your wifi. But if your stock antennas are poorly positioned, you can use these to better position your antenna to get slightly better signal.

It's great
Works great. I've got two of these and they provide a great signal strength while giving you great options for positioning the antennas with the length of the cable and magnetic base.

Perfect for Those Who Have Far Away Routers!
I was getting horrible speeds due to my router being across the house and downstairs with my old little wifi antenna that came with my motherboard. When I got this I was able to get a more stable and faster speed sense it was able to reach the signal from downstairs better! Would recommend 👍

Decent build quality, average reception.
What more is there to say. It's functional. The cheapo wifi antenna that came with my motherboard has better reception. The magnet is decent enough. It's good if you frequently travel with a PC and need a more robust antenna that will take some knocking around. It was only $12 when I purchased it so not a bad value.

Works great!
I broke and subsequently lost the antenna that came with my ROG Crosshair VIII Hero. With the base broken, I wasn't able to position the antenna, which meant poor signal; also, the cable was too short.This antenna has a good plastic base with a hefty magnet that lets the antenna attach to the case side so it doesn't block the top case fans. Also, the cable is nice and long, meaning I can mount the antenna with quite a bit more flexibility than the original.Signal strength is much better than the OEM, at least for bluetooth. I haven't tested Wifi, I have an ethernet cable for that because we have 1gbit fiber. The PC is on one end of the house and I walked clear to the other end (about 25 feet or so) and no dropouts). I really like this antenna and won't hesitate to buy more if I need them.

Made a huge difference!
Doubled my wife's downlink Internet speed. I purchased this product over similar items because it has a longer cord than most. This allowed me to locate the antenna in a place in our home office where there was less signal blockage. I also found that the orientation of the antenna made a huge difference in speed Rotating it 45 degrees on the desk doubled the transmission speed.

Best purchase to improve Wi-Fi signal, you will not regret this
This is the best purchase I have made from Amazon in a long time, I highly recommend this product you will not regret it. The problem with screenshots of speed tests is that everyone's network is different with different barriers and sources of interference to Wi-Fi. Additionally everyone has a different internet speed from their internet service provider. What I can say is that I pay for 300 Mbps download and 300 Mbps upload and the reason I had purchased this antenna is because my upload speeds were originally horrible. Before purchasing this antenna I would receive maybe 220 Mbps download and 120 Mbps upload at best following optimal antenna placement. Prior to moving my old Wi-Fi antenna to an optimal placement I was only seeing 40-50 Mbps uploads. Since my download is stronger than my upload that informs me that the router can send data to my computer but my computer struggles to send the information back to the router indicating an antenna problem. This can be confirmed by typing the following command in the Windows Terminal 'netsh wlan show interfaces' which will show you the raw receive and transmit rate of your computer as well as your signal strength represented as a percentage which is a better gauge of determining signal strength than an internet speedtest, just keep in mind these numbers do not reflect internet speeds and are likely higher.Upon purchasing the antenna I gained two Wi-Fi bars and now go between full signal and the loss of one Wi-Fi bar. My internet speed test results now show my download speed maxed out at my internet service provider limit of 300 Mbps and my upload drastically improved to about 250 Mbps. When transferring files internally on my network upload speeds average between 220 and 250 Mbps with the highest speed upload speed observed of 267 Mbps.At the time of this review I have worked in IT for 18 years.

Disappointing performance
I purchased this product to replace the stock antennas on a B450 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard from MSI after having to move that system to a room with poor WiFi reception. While I waited, I used the antenna setup from an X570 MEG Unify (also from MSI) as it was significantly better, and that system is currently connected via ethernet and not using its antenna. All performance testing was done using the 5GHz Wi-Fi network.Pros:- This did actually perform better than the stock, tiny antennas on the B450 board.- Magnetic base is awesome.- Long cables are awesome.Cons:- This performed about half as well (half the bandwidth, nearly double the latency under load) vs. the higher end MSI antenna, even with the ability to have much better positioning due to the longer cable and longer antennas.- The outer case had obviously cracked and been glued. It appears to be that way from the factory, though it is hard to tell because the box did not arrive sealed.If you are looking to upgrade your tiny PC wi-fi antennas, then this will get the job done. If you are looking to meet or exceed the higher end antennas that come with better motherboards, you will need to look elsewhere, as I now need to do as I have returned this item.
