Let’s face it – many of us depend on the internet for work, play, keeping in touch with friends and family, and everything else in between. Sometimes being offline and away from Wi-Fi hotspots can feel like being a fish out of water and the best we can do is duck into a corner near a hotspot, flip out your mobile phone, and painstakingly do your thing on a credit-card sized keyboard.
This can soon be a thing of the past, especially with hField Technology’s wireless device, the Wi-Fire. The Wi-Fire is a small, range-extending USB device that can detect and utilize Wi-Fi signals from over 1,000 feet away – that’s easily over three times the range of a standard 802.11 adapter.
That means all you need to do is plug the Wi-Fire into your notebook’s USB 2.0 port, direct it to find the immediate area’s strongest Wi-Fi signals, and connect. No more thumbing on a mobile phone – you can now find a more comfortable table or bench, flip out your notebook PC, and do the job more easily and more effectively.
You’ll be surprised at how powerful the Wi-Fire really is – with it, you can connect to the Internet in places you never knew possible. What’s more, the connections you get will be much faster with the Wi-Fire – at 200 feet, I’ve personally experienced speeds up to twice as fast with the Wi-Fire than just with my laptop’s standard adapter.
We all know that the farther we go from the Wi-Fi signal, the weaker the signal becomes and the slower speeds get. But with the Wi-Fire, I didn’t feel much of a difference in speed even when I was 900 feet from the signal’s source. Without the Wi-Fire, the connection would probably crawl along at a pace slower than dial-up – and in this day and age, life’s simply too short for dial-up.
Another great thing about the Wi-Fire is that it’s compatible across all platforms, whether you’re a Windows person, a Mac, or a Linux user. You can now enjoy fast, easy connections to the Internet wherever you go.
The Wi-Fire sells for $59.00, a great bargain for the new freedom and convenience you’ll enjoy with this great new device.
