New Buffalo Hi Gain USB WiFi Antenna with 1600 ft Range

Buffalo Technology announced today the release of two use Wireless-G High Gain USB 2.0 adapters, the WLI-U2-SG54HG and WLI-U2-G54HG. The SG54HG uses an omni-directional antenna for optimal connection and range and attaches to the notebook or desktop with suction cups to keep it secured out of the way. The G54HG uses a directional antenna as well with the addition of a signal strength indicator to allow you to tune for ideal performance. The G54HG measures in at 2.8" x 3.5" and weighs 0.2 pounds so it won’t add significantly to the weight of your notebook. The really fantastic feature of both of these products is Buffalo’s claim that they offer Wireless-G connectivity with a range of 1600 feet. Both adapters are fully USB powered and require no external adapters. Availability on both models is set for May at a price of $49. These new products are souped up versions of the SGH54HP from a while back.
