    Not all that big, remember that a larger dish means better reception. This would be good for sharing an ISP or creating a bridge with your neighbor, usually a dish is overkill for access within same residence.

    Would also be good for selectively freeloading on someone's distant wifi, but don't expect miracles in this small size and price range.

    #1 doesn't appear to be familiar with the idea of scale.

    Hate to rain on their parade but this is more of a toy or gimmick than a useful product. Best on market is the Alfa right now for long range wifi. Plus it is very small and can easily fit into a briefcase and can ad different antennas for better reception.

    It's better to make your own using a Direct TV style dish.
