TUAW Giveaway: Win a BearExtender n3
Last month, we highly recommended the BearExtender n3 [US $44.97] as a great way to extend a Wi-Fi network to reach those pesky dead spots. In my testing, I found that it's possible to get around three times as much range as from an Airport device.
Now the nice people at Rokland Technologies have given us five units to give to you. If you're having weak signal problems, you want one of these. I bought the unit they sent me to review and have been overjoyed and amazed at it performing exactly as advertised.
The details of the giveaway are as follows:
- Open to legal US residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
- To enter, leave a comment telling us what what problem you would solve with a BearExtender n3.
- The comment must be left before February 13, 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time.
- You may enter only once.
- Five winners will be selected in a random drawing.
- Prize: One BearExtender n3 (Value: US$49.97)
- Click Here for complete Official Rules.
Update 2/16/10: The contest is over and the winners have been chosen. Thanks to everyone for the comments. Roland at Bearextender n3 was amazed at the huge response and has offered a 10% discount for TUAW readers through Thursday the 18th at via this link.

I'm a student and can't afford a $50/month internet bill so I have to steal the Wi-Fi of the bar under my apartment. I can usually, barely, get one bar; which is, most times, inadequate.

Extend the range of my network so my roommate stops complaining about poor reception.

I like that the drivers and manual come on a USB drive. That's pretty cool. I'd extend the network so I'd be able to get it out on my deck.

WiFi signal does not make it downstairs to my Xbox. Have moved the router twice with no noticeable difference. Sometimes can connect to Live, but usually disconnects soon after.

I wish a WiFi extender, oh TUAW overlords! This way, I can hide in my garage and surf the web like a fish surfs on... oh, forget it.

Hello,
I would believe this would help get a good signal to the top floor of my house which my AEBS just can't manage to get up to.

I'd use this to get wifi on my deck. Somehow even if I put the router near the door I just barely get a signal outside.

I would use it to extend my WiFi to my garage/workshop so I could look up all the things I always need to look up when working on projects in my garage/workshop!
Awesome give away!

My son's homework desk is in the one dead spot in our house. Hopefully this will get his laptop off the kitchen table and back to his workspace.

I would be able to access the wi-fi network in the classroom I teach in, and not have to carry an ethernet cable.

I could really use better wi-fi in the law library. My MacBook can barely keep it going.
