BearExtender n3 grabs WiFi from afar

We’ve seen a few WiFi extenders in our day, but the BearExtender n3 has a few critical advantages over the rest: it’s cheap, effective, and, uh, legal. The $45 external WiFi adapter for Macs was developed by Roland Saekow, a Berkeley grad who wanted access to the campus “Airbears” network from wherever he was — and it seems to do the trick, as TUAW‘s informal testing revealed stronger signals and higher throughput when using the BearExtender over internal WiFI. Sure, it’s a little bulky, but that just makes you look hardcore, right?
