1256674 2012-02-01 18:29:00 Yeah - it's an ALFA AWUS036H 802.11 b/g Long Range USB Adapter. It's supposed to have 5X range.

But - more news: I was getting a firmware update and a power glitch happened - now I have a WNR1000 brick.

Any idea on how to repair it?
Oh I already have 2 of those.

it is very quick to get a hidden SSID. I tried to breach my own network one day.

Indeed. Hidden SSIDs only work against fools. Anyone with the right software can detect your network, hidden SSID or not.
