How did we arrive at that score from Wi-Fi Planet’s report?

The proof of the pudding were the field tests, where the internal could see 9 networks but could only connect to 2, and that weakly.  Well, a weak connection is at best worth a field goal or 3 points each for a total of 6. 

But the Wi-Fire, in the same spot, could see 15 networks and EASILY connected with 13 of them.  No weak connections, no settling for field goals.  The Wi-Fire went all the way every time for 13 TD’s at 7 points each.

Final score: 91 to 6 and the Wi-Fire Long Range Wi-Fi Adapter blows away the Internal adapter once again.  This time in a brand new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Wi-Fi Planet goes on to say “The Wi-Fire Wi-Fi adapter from hField Technologies can greatly improve the ability of a notebook–or a desktop, for that matter–to find and make use of evanescent Wi-Fi signals.

“It’s much easier to fine tune the Wi-Fire’s positioning when you use the device’s own Connection Manager, since it reports signal strength as a percentage instead of the less precise Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor five bar scale used by Windows’ built-in utility. 

The Wi-Fire is “well worth it given the Wi-Fire’s demonstrated ability to make a richer stew out of thin Wi-Fi gruel. When you’re out hunting elusive Wi-Fi signals, the Wi-Fire is a “bigger boat” that will serve you well.”

Once again, the major Wi-Fi review sites see the outstanding long range performance and value in the Wi-Fire.

There are great reasons why the Wi-Fire is a 802.11g device versus n.  We’ve talked about this previously in “802.11n lacks range” and in “TrulyObscure Says Wi-Fire Beat All 802.11n Devices Too!”.  And we’ll give it move coverage in the future.
