Roll the dice!
Without disclosing my background, I feel more than qualified to write a review for these. That being said...They work. Very well. The router I placed these on needed six of them. The stock ones broke, and I decided to take a chance on upgrading, instead of just replacing.Of the places in my home that were dead spots, usually behind a thick wall or metal, about 80% now have a signal, and in most cases, a pretty good signal at that. They're not magic, and they're not perfect. They do feel like they're magic though πThe signal also went much further. Almost double. I would estimate 25 yards minimum. However, for security reasons I would not recommend these for everybody, as you would not want to overbroadcast. For me, it's practically a necessity.If you have ever bought aftermarket antennas for a router, then you probably know it's 50/50 if they work at all, let alone work better than the OEM.We considered a range extender, but have had mixed results for various reasons. We considered a mesh network, but didn't really see the point in buying a new router, especially when Wi-Fi 7 is about to drop. The router was fine, the antennas were broke. The cheapest first step was to replace them with OEM, but decided to roll the dice and go for these as an upgrade instead. The bet paid off.These were everything I dared not hope for. I would definitely look here first in the future. I don't know if they'd work with all/your routers, or if I got all the luck, but they were a nice tight fit, I'd say even better than OEM. They don't flop around despite their size, and while I didn't open one up, it seems like they're legit and durable.In short, if Chuck Norris needed replacement antennas for his router, these are probably the ones I would recommend π

Better than the ones that have long wires
So i live in an RV near an xfinity wifi hotspot. My PC had the stock antennas hooked to the motherboard and i could barely download anything (1mb/s, and network disconnecting entirely often). so i upgrade to an antenna that has a long wire and i can put that outside the rv. problem is it was better, but only slightly.So i ended up rolling the 10 dollar dice on these before i got working on a directional antenna on the roof of the rv, which would have cost a significant amount more than 10, so i figured give it a shot. These gave me over 10x gains compared to the previous. My download speeds jumped from a measly 1-2mb/s and often disconnecting to 20-30mb/s and no disconnects. These antennas are actually a massive upgrade for me. All i can say is roll the dice on them because getting a good wifi signal for 10 dollars is as good as i can imagine it can get for me.

Good signal
Changed out the factory antenna with this one and was able to connect right away used while driving once in awhile would lose signal but only for a second or two and it would reconnect

It works GREAT - but don't make my mistake
I want to start off my review by describing my set-up. It's an older tower, tucked away in a corner, underneath 6 boxes of stuff, on the opposite wall of my router. Total distance is not that far - but the wifi was 1 bar, and dropping constantly. Couldn't even get Google maps to load properly.I put these in and presto - I might as well be hard-wired!You will generally want your wifi antennae to be orthogonal / perpendicular - that is, 90 degrees to each other, and to the router. So, one antenna "up", one antenna to the right (or left); and if you have a 3rd antenna, straight back.Now, for the warning - most antennae can be adjusted by simply turning them a bit more, after being screwed on. That is because there are multiple points on the antenna that can rotate (the socket that locks into the card, and one about a hair above it that allows it to be rotated for the positioning mentioned above). These antennae are heavy - they use heavy material, and you can apply a LOT of force, without even trying. I actually overturned to the point that the nut in the wifi card, actually got stuck, and had now started to turn the wire on the card.To fix the issue, actually took needle-nose pliers to stabilize the nut on the card itself, untwist the antenna, and stabilize the connection with the card..Don't just do it by feel - actually look at the connection, and make sure you are adjusting the antenna, and not overturning.I would absolutely buy it again, and just approach more cautiously. Wifi cards with antennae will outperform those USB receivers any day, and this item gives the supercharge you need.

16% packet loss vs standard 5.5" antennas
Makes online games near unplayable, as 16% of wifi packets are lost on average. No major difference in speeds or latency compared to a standard 5.5 inch antenna. The fact is: making an antenna bigger doesn't necessarily make it better, unless you're supplying more power to it. This product is poor quality and, in my opinion, useless. Just use your motherboards pack-in antennas. A smaller antenna makes for a better connection anyways, per square cube law. I found these antennas lost connection constantly, despite not being too far from the router.

Attachment points break easily
Performance was Ok, but two of the three antennae broke off within days. The weight of these longer whips is too much for the thin collar of plastic that connects them to the attachment nut. The collar shears off and the whip just falls off. No way to repair it.
