I recommend the entire show but if you only have time for the Wi-Fire, the Wi-Fire review itself is the first item on the agenda, starting a little before 3m30s into the show and ending at about the 7 minute mark.

Wi-Fire users should take note that the comment about pointing right at the access point and holding it extremely tightly on that point is a good one, but one applicable only at close range, ironically, at a range at which most people can still use their internal.

For Wi-Fire users on the road and outside in their garden or around their pool, it isn’t always the case. 

For weak signal conditions, where the Wi-Fire has its greatest use, the user is typically at a far distance and there are many obstructions.  The lucky user with clear line of sight at 1000 feet away may find that is the best way to point the Wi-Fire but most users won’t have such luck.

Normally, the Wi-Fire should be rotated to find the best signal because, particularly with obstructions, they are all reflections and there is no way of telling which reflection can give you the best connection without using the Wi-Fire Connection Manager to optimize your position.

The other general point is that, like all electromagnetic waves, the Wi-Fi signals disperse over distance.  Very close up in a coffee shop as in the review, there is little dispersion.  When connecting is critical and only the Wi-Fire will help you connect with weak signals, the Wi-Fi signal is dispersed like spreading out a big glob of jelly on a slice of bread.  Plus the signal’s reflection’s are coming at you from all angles.

These intrinsic foibles of Wi-Fi signals are actually what the Wi-Fire handles best and why it remains the Long Range WiFi Adapter of choice around the world.

If you depend on Wi-Fi while on the go, for work or pleasure, for the best in performance and ease of use, nothing beats a Wi-Fire.

David A. Saraceno is a motion graphics artist located in Spokane, Washington.  David recently tested a Wi-Fire and had a few words to say:

“…this dimunitive antenna identifies significantly more wi-fi connections than your built in wi-fi card and at great distances.”

“In fact, Wi-Fire saw three to ten times more than my Airport card. Some were encrypted, and some were not, and one was a city-wide access point that I never knew existed in my area.”

“Significantly, the number of available hot spots increased, which indicates that Wi-Fire’s reach greatly exceeded our Airport card.”

Yesterday’s featured review – the Wi-Fire!

“This is great for the summer time when I wanna be outside all the time, I will still be able to have internet. Or even just going room to room in the house the Wi-Fire really comes in handy. When I first set up the Wi-Fire it actually tripled my network options to connect to which is great because that gives me a far less chance of losing my connection. Wi-Fire is very easy to set up and everything needed to do so comes with it (even USB cable). I set mine up in 5 minutes. Attaches very easily to your screen or any flat service, and will actually help to speed up your internet connection.”

“It pays for itself in 1 to 2 months easily with the price of internet now of days. I have an all in one package with phone, internet and cable but it still cost me up to $40 a month. I have friends that pay much more. I can save over $400+ a year. More money for shopping :)”

What more can you ask for – saving money, ease of use, better connections! For the best in performance and ease of use, nothing beats a Wi-Fire – the Long Range WiFi Adapter of choice around the world.

Wow!  Another GREAT review!  This time from SecondChairVideo.com.

Wi-Fire was tested on a mid-2009 MacBookPro 13-inch laptop running OS 10.6.2.  The conclusion:  “this dimunitive antenna identifies significantly more wi-fi connections than your built in wi-fi card and at great distances.”

“In fact, Wi-Fire saw three to ten times more than my Airport card. In my testing, Airport recognize two additional networks when used in my residence, and Wi-Fire saw triple that amount.”

“The real surprise came when I walked outside. I clicked on the refresh button, and the list grew to about eighteen networks. We did access a solid signal from a location well over 500 feet away, and several that Airport didn’t see from about 350 feet or so. Significantly, the number of available hot spots increased, which indicates that Wi-Fire’s reach greatly exceeded our Airport card.”

Overall – “… a nice device, and one that you’ll find useful in your mobile production environment.”

John Mello at MacNewsWorld has a new article out this morning on the Wi-Fire and the new Wi-Fire Connection Manager 2.0 for Mac.

In addition to the Wi-Fire’s long range performance, John’s new article focuses on the improvements in the software for use on the Macintosh as well as the Airport-like interface.

For anyone who hasn’t tried the new v2.0 software release yet, uses a Mac and owns a Wi-Fire, you can download it here.

Our Customers love that it now runs from the menu bar.  Take a look at the screenshot:

But when you need full access to all of a connection’s details, or need to change a profile, you can open up the GUI right from your menu extra:

Lately, we’ve been seeing WiFi Planet’s September 2009 Wi-Fire review being re-carried by blogs and also increasing once again as a big referral site to hField.

We agree it’s well worth a second look – you can find it here.

WiFi Planet’s tests were run at about 300 feet and had to penetrate concrete block walls:

“…the notebook’s internal adapter detected nine networks, but only two of them had signals strong enough to allow a reliable, if weak, connection. When scanning with the Wi-Fire, we detected an additional six networks, for a total of fifteen. This time, we could easily connect to any of the original nine networks, as well as four of the six new ones.”

WiFi Planet declared the Wi-Fire to be “… well worth it given the Wi-Fire’s demonstrated ability to make a richer stew out of thin WiFi gruel. When you’re out hunting elusive WiFi signals, the Wi-Fire is a “bigger boat” (a Jaws reference you’ll read earlier in the review) that will serve you well.”

Whether it’s do or die against Jaws, you’re touring in your RV, or just relaxing in the backyard, nothing beats a Wi-Fire for reliable connectivity – the Long Range WiFi Adapter of choice around the world.

We get great comments about the Wi-Fire and about Customer Service and once in a while, we like to share them.

Does your family always borrow your favorite stuff? “First Wi-Fire arrived this afternoon. Seemed to work very well. Now my cousin wants it for a trip next week, so I just ordered another one! Please ship ASAP.” And less than a week later from this family of Mac users: “Both of those two are headed for Aruba. My cousin grabbed the first one; he packed the second one for a friend in a timeshare who has poor reception. They didn’t stay in my grasp very long, so I just ordered a third Wi-Fire. Hopefully I’ll get to use it – for a while!”

No matter where the Wi-Fire starts, it winds up all over the world because Wi-Fire owners know they can count on them.  “I took the newer version of the Wi-Fire with me to both New Zealand and the Dominican Republic along with my Toshiba Netbook and it performed great. U guys are great and thanks for the outstanding support.”

The best response in 30 years, Wow! “How fantastic to receive such a quick, very clear, informative and VErY helpful response exactly dealing with my layman enquiry. SO kind. THANKYOU. I will buy because of this, the best response in 30 yrs of internet use (yes 30) thanks.”

Can we really match Apple in Service?  We try!  “thanx…problem solved…my frustration was magnified by being on the phone to (Manufacturer name deleted) yesterday for over 4 hours ….disconnected 4 times…i suspect purposely… (Other Manufacturer) looses a  customer…the best response is Apple and yourself!!!  From another happy Mac and Wi-Fire user excited with our new software for Macs.

When you can’t get the Competitor, call hField for help, they’ll give it to you!  “When I took out the old adapter it was from your competitor…(Name Deleted)…which works OK (not great but OK) with the ibook. So since you took the time to answer and (not call me a complete idiot – which in this case I have been), I will order one of your products to try out on my new MacBook….please advise ordering instructions for an old guy who was totally confused.” Ordered right away and another enthused Wi-Fire with Mac user.

So, before we put you to sleep, we’ll stop there, but you can get a sense of why Wi-Fire users are so loyal and why they treasure their Wi-Fires and buy more for their family’s use.

No matter where you’re going, the other side of the world, or out by the pool, nothing beats a Wi-Fire for staying connected – the Long Range WiFi Adapter of choice around the world.
