I don't know if you can get it for wearing on your head.

@parados,

Er...

Having had professional training in wireless networking, I'd steer away from that product.

That "parabolic reflector" has to be cosmetic; the directional antennas used for wireless networking don't use parabolic reflectors.

Note the disclaimer at the end:

Quote:

Note: Using the following components together may exceed the FCC's power limits if used in the USA. Use at your own discretion since each country has different laws regarding maximum output power of 802.11 B/G WiFi equipment. You can find out which antennas are legal by contacting the manufacturer. You can find the FCC approval code on your router or wireless adapter and find a list of approved antennas designed to work with it.
