WiFi is one of those things that has made life easier for lots of people, but lousy WiFi signals plague nearly all of those people at one point or another. Hfield’s Wi-Fire is designed to help — once you install the driver on your computer, and change your network adapter to the Wi-Fire, you can start pulling in signals from much further away thanks to the aimable antenna. There’s an arrow on the top that you can point in the direction of the access point, if you know where it is. While the Wi-Fire is designed to hang from the edge of your screen, it tends to spin with gravity…so you’ll probably just want to readjust the clip so that it sits on the next next to you. We found that configuration can be a bit of a pain, but once it’s up and running it can give you a WiFi signal where none previously existed.
