where do I plug in the Antenna Booster?

Does it go into the Data Card or does it replace the antenna on the Linksys Router?

sorry if this is a stupid question, I just figure it should go into the card since the antenna on the router is an antenna OUT, but I wanted to confirm.

my wireless signal went from Very Good to Excellent.....and I can see its going much faster.

When I have the time (and patience) I'll try to test the signal differences!

right now it looks as though I'm getting 680 down and 67 up, though I'm sure once I set it up so I'm the only one getting the signal it'll be a bit better

don't assume that where you first set up the antenna, is best.

many have found significant signal difference by playing with location.

I'll try to mess with where I place it....it'll probably be better closer to a window so less is in its way. Also, if I'm not able to get my desktop working via cable I'll have to get a wireless card for it and then I can put the router anywhere in the house.
