Many previous speakers have written here that they now have better reception with the extension and its UMTS stick. This is certainly true when connected directly to a computer. However, I would note here that the cable is not suitable as an extension to a router because of this device too little current is sent to supply the stick then after 10 meters yet. As I said, connected directly to the computer it works. I have now made a 2 meter cable and it works. The cable itself is perfectly fine.
