What is Reddit's opinion of NextG USB-Yagi Plug & Play 11N Long Range WiFi Antenna 2200mW?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

So what if I got this instead and plugged it into my computer and set it up at the window right next to my computer instead of running it out to the living room, would that be better?

Ok. Today I got a NextG USB-Yagi Plug & Play 11N Long Range WiFi antenna 2200mW:

You plug it up USB and can get way better WiFi signals. I can get on the net easily, download ect. The only thing I need to figure out how to do is hook up my PS4. I don't even wanna just play games, I just need to download patches. I tried hooking the LAN from my connected laptop to the PS4 but when I test connection I get an issue with the IP Address. Any tips would be GREAT!

really? I don't think so there, jim.

as long as you can get LoS on the network, you can use a cantenna, and those will work for miles and miles(just an FYI, but at ground level, the "horizon" you see is usually about 3 miles, and if you go up just 100 feet vertical, you can get 12 miles).

If you cannot get direct LoS, you can use one of these and get a few miles range in all directions. Its not unheard of to be getting 5 miles of range with one of those at ground level, since EM waves do curve around the earth just a bit.
