I bought a USB720 last week, I have it setup without an antenna or any other enhancements. My speed on speedtest.net is 1105 kbs and my RSSI is averaging at about -86 dB Heres are the details on speedtest.net-

Would an antenna improve my speed and signal strenght? If so, how much of a gain should be expected? Is it worth the cost for the gain I would be getting? Thanks[/url] |

| With a wireless connection its really a try and see situation. In theory, better signal results in better connectivity/performance. However; there are other factors than can determine the latency & speeds you get... like network usage. The amount of other subscribers using the EVDO network for internet & video services affects your latency & speed. 3Gstore.com has a 14-day return policy if you are not satisfied with your results, you may return for a refund within 14 days from the purchase date. |
