THEY SAID, "You’ll see on the Crane website that the Super USB WiFi antenna (which you referred to previously) has an antenna gain of only 4.5 dBi. The Wi-Fire has a whopping 10.4 dBi gain, greatly overpowering the Super USB WiFi antenna. With radio antennas, every 3 dbi of difference represents a doubling of signal strength, so you’ll note that the Wi-Fire’s antenna has about 4 times more power. Additionally, the Super USB WiFi antenna advertises a 20 dBm power drain from the host computer, while the Wi-Fire only draws in about 16 dBm in power. So not only is the Wi-Fire more powerful, it’s more efficient design results in less power drain from your computer, perfect for mobile users!" AS FAR AS VISTA THEY SAY, " Although we're not ready to launch it for Vista yet, you'll find that the Wi-Fire for Macintosh does work fine and operates with plug and play for Vista. You'd just have to use the built in Vista wireless controls, since we haven’t finalized and optimized the units for Vista software. We plan on releasing the Vista software soon, and you can be kept informed by going to www.hfield.com/support.htm and signing up there. But if you want to use your Mac Wi-Fire with Vista now, you can, just realize you’ll have to use the Vista wireless controls, and that the Wi-Fire wireless controls will be available in a few weeks."

This was probably two years ago but still. $80 for that kind of boost is certainly reasonable I'd say.

So this is inline with the other competitors out there. FYI, I just read the pdf manual from the site and it claims 27dB TX power. So this is inline with the other competitors out there.

The wiFire doesn't claim TOTAL TX power (which seems weird) but the I linked claims 28db! That's a HUGE boost over the stock 3-5db TX of the built in cards in most portable.

Although it would really be good for large homes or even at work, where the idea was intended to go, so you can always remain on the secure network we know or have. And it doesn't bother me to see the cost isn't a ridiculous amount. As far as mooching goes, as we have seen in this and other blogs, that might not be the best.
