Wi-Fire USB Wi-Fi Range Extender

The Wi-Fire is a compact, range-extending USB device that enables you to access a wireless Internet connection from up to 1,000 feet away—three times the range of your internal wireless adapter.

The Wi-Fire uses a powerful directional antenna, highly sensitive receiver and proprietary software to find and enhance normal Wi-Fi signals. With it you can connect wirelessly to the Internet faster and with a stronger signal than an internal wireless adapter can achieve.

Plagued by dropped signals and spotty connections? The Wi-Fire allows you to surf the web, tap remote applications, download large files, stream audio and video—without squinting at a tiny screen and thumb typing on a credit card-sized keyboard. And just try performing essential online tasks on a painfully slow cell phone connection.

You could wander around, searching for the closest and strongest access point. You could suffer through a spotty, slow connection that drops at the most inopportune time.

Or you can plug in your Wi-Fire, see multiple hotspots you never even knew existed coming right to you instead, and get online-now!

The Wi-Fire draws very little power from your laptop battery. It comes complete with everything you need to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Just install the driver software, plug in the Wi-Fire to a USB port and you're ready to start. It can rest flat on any surface or clip securely to a laptop display or flat screen monitor.

The Wi-Fire Connection Manager reveals all available networks in the area—more than you've ever seen without the Wi-Fire. Simply select the strongest publicly accessible network (or private network for which you have authorization), rotate the Wi-Fire's 360-degree directional antenna to focus the signal and connect.
