What do you guys think of this?
-
You can get similar devices with the declared 500mW power and -93dBm sensibility 3 times cheaper.
-
Can give me links to some? I need to be able to connect an external antenna and rather have mac compatibility.

You should get one that connects to a satilite dish sort of antenna. There have been reports of getting wifi signals from 10-30 miles away with those kind of wifi adapters.

I need one that is portable and that is plugged in by usb. I can work with it if it has to be AC/DC powered.
Between theses two.

2.
The first is up to just over a mile range and the 2nd is up to 1000 meters. (.6 mile) Is the change in sensitivity the cause in loss of range? -
This one I have seen recently,

but there are many others (one brand name I remember is Alfa, try to google for Alfa, USB, wi-fi 500mW or search on ebay; another one I know is Senao).
The shop above also has wireless range extenders and 9dB omnidirectional antennas for very good price:

The shop is based in HK, but it worked well for me.

Hi MechRock,
I happen to be at RadioShack today and I saw this and the salesman said he uses it to grab WIFI from his Grandma's home about 170 feet away (with walls and junk in between).
