Alfa Hi-Gain Omni-Directional Outdoor 15dBi Antenna - 2.4/2.5GHz 4.8-Feet long Weatherproof antenna With N Female Connector

This has to be the easiest antenna to set up ever. I believe it is almost 4 to 5 feet long which is good on range. Also it comes with weather proof tape as it should since it would be a strange indoor antenna. The reception on the antenna is very good being up in the 70 to 80% signal strength which was previously 30 to 40% with lower end antennas. I'm using the antenna for a repeater right now and has incredible circumference range. The signal it is repeating is about a thousand feet away, which is extreme rang for most wifi applications. The best thing about this though is the low profile as it won't catch the wind like a grid dish antenna, which I also have. I hope this helps any who view this product.

This is a good WiFi antenna. I'm using mine on a remote WiFi repeater that needs to maintain a solid link to its infrastructure and service roaming clients in several different directions. A high-gain omnidirectional antenna like this usually costs about twice as much, so I was a little skeptical at first about this one. After doing some testing on it and comparing it to several other antennas that I have been using for many years, I feel pretty confident in recommending it.This antenna has a coaxial connection that is exposed to the weather, which means that the coaxial cable must be run on the outside of your support mast, so be sure to use the weather-proof tape (provided) to complete your installation. Personally I prefer a design that allows the feed-line to be protected from the weather and run inside the mast, hence my 4 star rating.Here are some general tips on getting the most out of an omnidirectional antenna like this:1) Mount it in the clear and at the very top of a mast. Keep it at least a few feet away from near-by objects that could detune it or change its intended radiation pattern.2) Use as short a coaxial feed-line as possible. Calculate the feed-line loss at 2.4 GHz and get the best coaxial cable you can afford for your installation. I personally use LMR-400 for runs of 15 ft. or more for WiFi.3) If you're looking at this antenna to increase an access point's coverage range, make sure that your current range is not being limited by interference from other 2.4 GHz "noise" sources. If this is the case, your transmit range may increase, but your two-way communication range may not change much since all signals being received (the ones you want and the ones you don't) will all be stronger. You'll want to get a directional antenna for this situation.4) If you're mounting an omnidirectional antenna really high, consider getting one with a "down-tilt" pattern. I could not find a radiation pattern graph for this antenna anywhere on the web, but I'm assuming that it's fairly symmetrical and not a down-tilt pattern. This would mean that its gain would drop off significantly at an angle more than about 10 degrees below the antenna.If you're looking for an outdoor omnidirectional WiFi antenna with a rugged design that's not too expensive, this one is a good choice.

DBROTH - (aka C&A Marketing Inc)http://www.amazon.com/shops/A2LM6ZPY06LT1N/ref=aag_d_shhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046CBR3W/ref=oh_o00_s02_i00_detailsAntenna arrived in a poorly packaged tube that barely fit the antenna.I have not yet tested if the antenna works at all because all the mounting accessories are missing from the package. I bought two of these for $100 and I get the feeling that they sent me a used antenna that might not even work! I am not happy about this at all.Unless the seller fix this problem, I will have to return it and not buy anything from DBROTH ever again! Neither should you!

This antenna is not a vast improvement of anything. I live on a sailboat and I require a system that will pick up the faintest signals. This antenna only marginally improved my reception over my (inside the boat mounted) 9db antenna even though this is mounted outside on a mast. Eventually this could not even pick up my cell phone hot spot. The problem could be the cheap 25' wire they recommend buying with this or the need to "Waterproof" it with BS tape that looks like licorice bubble gum.In any event after six months I am extremely disappointed. I gave my 9dbi antenna to my nephew but hooked up the 5dbi that shipped with my alfa card. The 5dbi does better than this crap. Oh btw you are reading a review of the 15 dbi stick. (They seem to be bunching these reviews with other antennas from the same distributor)
