Guys,
Trust me if you want long range WIFI go back and read my earlier posts on this thread. I have been fooling with WIFI in the motorhome for several years and the two antennas I mention will get you excellent range with the AWUS 036H. The plastic tube Yagi is slightly less effective than the Jefa 19db flat panel but it really catches the wind on a long pole.
Be careful when buying the Alfa AWUS 036H USB adapter. There is a 500mw version and a newer 1000mw version and both have the same model number. data-alliance.
I am using the Alfa and the Yagi now connected to a open router in a restarant (with permission) that is about 1/3 of a mile away and I have good signal strength and link quality.
