Connect this 2.4GHz Outdoor Directional, Patch Antenna to any of your Indoor or Outdoor Wireless Access Points. This 2.4GHz Antenna works great for connecting two locations wirelessly, sharing data, or using a VoIP wireless link. With the appropriate coax cable (not included) you will be able to connect this 2.4GHz antenna to any Linksys, Cisco, D-Link, Netgear, ZyXel or other Wireless Access Point for increased signal strength.
For the most reliable signal strength, and extended range, please power this antenna, with an access point that has more then 60mW of transmit power
Please note: Typical Wireless Range will be dependent on the following:
Transmit Power of your Access Point or Wi Fi Router
Outdoor Obstructions (trees, lakes, buildings, RV's, hills, etc.)
Type of building material (metal, aluminum, wood, sheetrock)
Mounting position of antenna
dBi Gain of the outdoor antenna
Length of coax cable connected to the antenna
Client device receive sensitivity, and transmit power
The stronger the transmit power of the access point, the better your wireless signal will carry, and provide a more enjoyable Internet surfing experience for your customers. The Transmit Power on typical Linksys, Dlink and Belkin Wireless Access Points/Routers, is usually in the 15dbm range, or 32mW Transmit Power. This means that connecting a high gain antenna will help your range, but will not provide the increased distance and signal strength that say a 200mW, or even 500mW Access Point will provide
