WiFi: We started our quest to come up with a device that was small & portable and would increase range and speed. We begin about the time WiFi was intoduced. We experimented with all sorts of Coax fed antennas. We built and tested all kinds. The best antenna we ever tried was a 24dbi gain Parabolic grid style. But this is not practical for the average user.It's big, heavy, must be mast mounted, coax run, and a rotor to turn towards different AP's. The Yagi style was another good performer, but once again fairly long, mast mounted, coax, etc. We took these ideas and incorporated them into an easy to use, portable, light weight, directional antenna that works well, plain black box design. Generally used for your own network, but has shown sucsess in it's ability to connect to AP's at longer distances with good signal & bandwidth throughput.
We were impressed with it's performance so we begin building
 
WiFi Cantennas 
These units are handmade, one at a time. Not mass produced.  Usually we only have a few units at a time. This a hobby that I enjoy & allows us to introduce an improved wifi device.
 
Radar Jammer:  A couple of communication hobbists started with many projects, including how to make a radar jammer from a radar detector. This was a fun device to use.  You can slow down radar detector using speeders. We are still selling this manual for $1.99: pdf format. Digital Delivery.

Note that your normal USB cabling is limited to a max of 25-30 feet. Above 30 feet the computer's USB 2.0 port does not see the WiFi adapter. There is the option of placing a powered USB hub between the sections of cable to achieve a longer run or you could use an "Active Extension Repeater Cable" that could extend your USB cable up to 80 feet.
