I've been using the Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW (formerly 500mW) Long-distance USB Wireless Adapter + Antenna in Mexico. It works great, I pick up 3 to 5 bars of signals a mile or further offshore and it does great in marinas, too. I bought mine maybe 18 months ago. At that time it came with a USB cable. I bought a powered or "active" USB cable, maybe 15 feet long, so I can run it out a portlight and have the antenna on deck or buried under the mainsail cover on the boom. A non powered USB cable just won't be able to move the signal back and forth between your antenna and your computer. The new ones may not use USB cables, but check to see if you can power the cable. I would buy this one again, it does the job, though there might be something newer and better out now.
