Transmit: around 380mA
Receiver: around 250mA

Mean it uses more than 500mA at any one time, the max some devices can output on a single USB port. If not, I'm definitely considering one to boost the range of some devices. ]]>Feb 25th 2010 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/I guess the other two antennas on this thing must be hidden somewhere in the marketing bs... ]]>Feb 25th 2010 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/Feb 25th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/Feb 25th 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/mvixusa-solido-usb-wifi-adapter-finds-signals-a-county-away-mak/I could just break the antenna off and glue it to a USB port.

FYI, you don't need multiple antennas for 802.11n HT rates, just for MIMO (which helps to achieve those rates, but isn't required.)

As for big ugly MIMO routers... really? Cisco and Netgear do all internal antennas these days. Netgear seems to do it better... The WNDR3700 has lived up to the hype in multiple tests.
