I bought the stick (SG54HP) in Akihabara a couple of months ago and can confirm that it picks up more wifi signals than regular antennas (USB and PCMCIA). The box claims a 200% boost to signal strength, which means stronger signals and more of them. And that's it! No miracles. I had hoped to leech off somebody until I could sort out some broadband action, after moving to Germany. But everybody has their routers locked here, so no such luck. Still, might come in handy one day.
