In reply to Tyler. You're very welcome. And if you have any concerns about the software versions, feel free to email them. Rokland is very good and quick with support questions.

Hey Anil – I had checked the site but not the store. Great, thanks for the link – I am going to give the n3 a try, because the Alfa AWUS051NH doesn’t list OSX Lion compatibility. Rock on!

Hi Tyler, have you checked Rokland?

http://store.rokland.com/

They’ve got the latest Alfa models there; and the software is Mac compatible.

Hey Anil – I can’t seem to find the Alfa AWUS036EH anywhere, and all the available Alfa models out there don’t seem to support Mac OSX Lion (on a Macbook Air). I did find the following, but its twice as much as the Alfa models. Got any thoughts for Lion users? http://www.quickertek.com/products/Q4.php

The antennas are great and getting stronger which is nice 🙂

If you get control of the router supplying you with wireless you can do all sorts of interesting things like throttling the bandwidth in your favor:

and a bit more advanced method in case you really want to geek out:

Legality questionable at best though; these are just theoretical guides 😉
