You justy have to know what you need and what you are buying. I don't think
it's Hyperlink's fault.

Be careful when buying an outdoor wi-fi antenna. I bought one last week from
Hyperlink Technologies Inc. via their website
(http://www.hyperlinktech.com/). After receiving it, I realized that I
needed coax for it to be useable since it only comes with a pigtail that's
about 2 feet long (useless). I come to find out that it's virtually
impossible to find someone that has RPTNC connectors (for Linksys) that are
large enough to accommodate cable that won't loose all of the db gain it has
over any length. Hyperlink has the cable and the connectors but won't sell
them to me because of their "new" $100 minimum order that came into play
last week after I bought the antenna. They told me "no exceptions" and
claimed that all of the management team was unavailable. I guess the words
"customer support" don't exist in South Florida.
 
In any case, I now have a fairly useless 12 db gain omni antenna without
cable and connectors. Does anyone know where I can find a 50 foot length of
cable similar to Belkin 9913 with the proper connectors [RPTNC Male to RPTNC
Female]???
