The USB Yagi is basically outdoor/indoor USB plug-in connected to a long-range Wifi antenna designed to reach a certain distance to catch internet signals. The USB is connected to the computer/laptop, which bypasses the need for PCI cards and other internal Wifi cards. It is compatible with these operating systems: Windows 7/VISTA/XP, Linux, Ubuntu, BT5 and MAC OS X
The typical antenna has 802.11b or 802.11g and can reach a distance of over 32 meters (105 ft.) but never more than 10 miles or the line-of-sight. It is a less expensive alternative to satellite-internet access, cellular networks and fixed wireless. There are many kinds out there which vary from one another in design.
Some are built at home; yes, it can be home made with the right equipment and time but depends on the kind used; these are referred to as €Cantennas€. You can make one with a simple Juice can, a hammer, some nails, a Solder, a Power drill, drill bits, 12-gauge slid wire, Soldering iron, an N-connector or BNC, a Pigtail (other models have no need for this) and finally a USB cable. A Juice can is necessary because it is perfect in picking up signals because of its size and shape. However, Cantennas have a less range capacity and a much poorer signal output than the USB Yagi.
The materials used for the antenna can range from copper, brass to mixed alloys but many use brass because of its conductivity in receiving signals better.
The antenna is mostly used in areas that cannot connect via cable/DSL like in the jungles of Peru. The distance it covers however can be increased based on the power output.Watt is enough to give five times the range to an existing network using an amplifier and with every 6dB it gains double the range but it still depends on the WLAN (wireless local area network) adapter and directive antenna. The applications for Wifi USB Yagi antennas can range from Business, Residential, and Government to even military. Many companies today have sold over millions of these products worldwide and have gained renowned credibility of their guarantee of attaining internet connection.
All in all, the USB Yagi is a better and less expensive alternative and can easily be installed. The ideal antenna should be designed to withstand intense weather (but not too intense) and tuned to get the strongest signal possible, no loss of signal like in coaxial cables. Because it has a USB plug-in, you can use it on any computer/laptop, bring it anywhere with you and still connect to almost any antenna wherever there is a hotspot.
