Quicky Jr Antenna boosts Wi-Fi Reception Inexpensively
QuickerTek has created a high-performance yet cost-effective Wi-Fi solution for Apple computer users. Quicky Jr extends the popularity of the Quicky USB wireless boosters at less than half the cost. Quicky Jr easily extends the wireless speed and range of any Mac with built in wireless for only $99.95 USD, freeing users to compute anywhere they like.
Quicky Jr solves the two eternal problems of wireless, range and speed, without disassembling the computer for installation. Quicky Jr, like the original Quicky, uses the USB port for wireless amplification and as a power source. No drivers or other extra steps get in the way of enjoying wireless at speeds normally only available to 802.11g network connections - 54mbs (megabits per second).
Not only does the Quicky Jr amplify wireless signals in and out of the computer, but two included antennas are supplied to match to your specific wireless environment. A 2dBi antenna gives you the wide wireless dispersal area coverage while the 5dBi antenna extends out vertically to beat the multi-floor wireless blues. These antennas simply screw onto the Quicky Jr so changing them out is fast and easy and lets you reach out to those weak signals no matter where you might travel or virtually any office or home layout.
Quicky Jr. works with all 802.11/b/g/n Wi-Fi equipment including Apple AirPort, AirPort Extreme and the latest 802.11n version of AirPort Extreme introduced at Macworld Expo. [Update: According to QuickerTek, Quicky Jr. works on those "n" networks set up for "b/g" compatibility.] Quicky Jr. eliminates any worry or apprehension that prevents some Mac users from the joys of high speed wireless. Compatibility: MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs, Power Macs, PowerBooks and Mac Mini.
