It is small - but not tiny. Bigger than my hand (if that helps). It really is good - gets a great signal on the other side of the house - not gonna measure it but would guess at +- 30 meters from the router. All the internet radio stations come across really clearly.

Finally got my TV :!:
SAMSUNG 55'' FULL HD 3D LED LCD SMART TV
My sister works at JB Hi-FI,so I got the TV for $2999 and got them to chuck in an extended warranty and surge protector :D
Watch the first two LoTR movies (check my earlier posts in this thread) over the weekend and I have to say it is awesome.

The only problem with the TV is that it uses blue-tooth 3D glasses and only 1 came with the TV. If I want to buy more it's $100 each :(
