Wi-Fire USB WiFi Adapter Giveaway (ENDED)
Rate this post:
Today's giveaway is Wi-Fire USB WiFi Adapter, value - $59.00. Wi-Fire is a powerful, fully interfaced, WiFi adaptor that provides access to a wireless internet connection from up to 1,000 feet (300m) away - three times the range of your internal wireless adapter!
While Rob was in hospital for 8 days, we decided to take in a few products to review, since there wasn't much else to do between tests. This one was fun - we were a sight - walking all around the floor of the hospital with the laptop, trying to get a WiFi connection, and once Rob got permission, we even went down to the Food court and tried there too.
We did manage to access one unsecured network - but it turned out to be for their Epson printers! We also were able to access an unsecured Public WiFi network, but it didn't seem to have an internet connection - at least we could not get online there, even though we got a perfect connection.
Using the Wi-Fire Adapter increased the number of networks we could see from 3-4 to about 10 - some from the apartment buildings and office buildings quite a distance from the hospital. Most were secured though, so we never did get internet access.
Once we were home, I took the laptop out to the backyard, where we tend to get a poor to fair signal strength to our own wireless network. Plugging in the Wi-Fire Adapter gave us a strong signal strength, and I noticed that we could see many more networks as well. Apparently there is a UPS secure network near us!
Wi-Fire, only 2.8 ounces, is palm-sized and easy-to-use. Its portability and long range make it a natural for travelers and other Wi-Fi users who want to connect at their convenience, not a network's whims. Perfect for back-to-school!
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.
See More Connections
The Wi-Fire Connection Manager reveals all available networks in the area – more than you’ve ever seen without the Wi-Fire. You’re now connected in places you never were before! Enjoy your new freedom and convenience.

THIS WOULD BE AWESOME FOR TRAVEL.
As the connection from the wireless router to his bedroom is too long to run a wires.
I'd promised my son to buy him one for his desktop once I get a job, but I guess getting a job in Melbourne is quite difficult.
(Been searching for one for the past three months) Would be a great gift for him!

I would love to have better signals when I am camping with the family and the park advertises free wi fi and the signal is too low to be able to use my internet unless sitting in the office. Thank you! monicaleach@hotmail.com
I wonder also if this would work while on the road as a passenger and not driving. Would be great with kids.
I'd love to be able to connect to the internet at my daughters' dance studio! Then, I could entertain myself while I wait for them, lol.
I would like to use this as a signal booster in a campground or rv park with wi fi.
I really love this site
When I visit my elderly mother who lives in a town of 1500 I can never get a signal imagine this town doesn't even have mail delivery everyone has to go to post office to pick up there mail. So the whole time I'm there I have no internet. So I would love to have the Wi-Fire USB WiFi Adapter to find a signal, I would also like to have for use when traveling and for use so that I can go out into our back yard and sit instead of being restricted to inside the house.
Thank you so very very much

Our internet connection is upstairs, and even one floor down reception is pretty sketchy. This would be a big help. Thank you for the chance to win.
I just got a laptop, so I'm trying to decide on what wireless router to get. I'm concerned about the concrete walls in our house being a problem. I don't know how any of this stuff works, but maybe this WiFi adapter would help ensure that I never get out of range at home.
I would LOVE to have access to the Internet from portable toilet in the park.
