Anyway, that’s the side you “point” towards the router for best performance the adapter will still pick up a signal even if it’s not aimed at your router, but throughput and signal strength definitely suffers. The front of the UA2000 has a glossy black curved surface I don’t know if the curvature helps to focus the signal or if it’s purely for looks, but I’d assume it serves some purpose other than aesthetics. (The UA1000, incidentally, uses a Realtek chipset like the R/SR20000G.) Amped uses a Ralink chipset this time, but again the amplifiers, antennas, firmware, and drivers are customized to offer improved performance. Like the R/SR20000G router/repeater, the UA2000 is a dual-band product, again capable of up to 300Mbps connection speeds (2x2:2 MIMO). This is Amped’s second directional wireless adapter the first was the UA1000, which only supported 2x2:2 2.4GHz connections.

But what about for a desktop setup that doesn’t get moved around much if at all, particularly if the desktop in question is located in a place where you can’t (or don’t want to) run an Ethernet cable? Can using a directional wireless adapter help out? That’s what I wanted to find out! Amped Wireless UA2000 Directional Wireless Adapter Specifications Obviously, a directional adapter needs to be oriented such that the antenna points towards the target router (or repeater or access point).
I’ve also used plenty of wireless adapters (mostly on a variety of laptops), but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to use a directional wireless adapter.
The router and repeater are products I’m familiar with, and I’ve used quite a few wireless routers over the years. Amped UA2000 Directional Wireless Adapter
