Range says 500ft radius, how much further could i expect if upgraded to two10 dBi Antenna?

Didnt have the chance to use it, it was damaged when I received it. So i returned for money back.Sorry!

Shane, I am not an electronical engineer, but I have been repairing and playing with computers for almost 40 years. However, I do know a lot about antennas because I am a ham radio operator. It has been my experience that adding a higher db antenna to your access point will do nothing or very little in terms of giving you a larger radius. The antennas on routers are built to be "tuned" to the access point for maximum distance. Changing them can actually degrade your signal. Don't wast your money. Ron

The range extender did work, but it's a little tricky because it uses different wifi chanels to link between the router and the extender and the extender and the end user device. This often created a less dependable connection and occasional difficulty connecting. Nevertheless the range is effectively extended as promissed. However, I had a better user experience upgrading to a better router touted as "high power" and not needing to use the range extender. It is the asus rt-ac66u. The 5ghz ac feature won't help you (low range), but the b/g/n is great.

shane ,10 db antenna will not give you an big deference ,for your project use an Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N Dual Radio Smart Repeater (HW2R1) and an Hawking hi-gain wirless-n outdoor access point( HOWABN1) ,l use this system for an small apartment complex with success.

Good question, but I am unable to answer. I would call Hawking directly they are very knowledgeable about their products and will be happy to answer your more technical questions. I have no affiliation with the company, just my past experience with Hawking.

NO just install and enjoy better reception....the range is limited. ....mine has about a 40 foot circle.

A lot of variables will be in play such as where the antenna is mounted and the distance and direction of the transmission towers. My antenna is mounted high on an interior wall and the primary antenna farm for the principal stations in my area is 18 miles away and across fairly flat topology. Given that, my reception is excellent.

the 500mw came with a 2 dbi antennathe 1000mw came with a 5dbi antenna3dbi doubles the "effective power"a little sly on power rating but still an excellent adapter beats wally worlds off the shelf in the same price range

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

I doubt if a different antenna will increase range as this is limited primarily by transmitter power and the sending unit antenna is fixed. Perhaps a larger antenna on the receiver might help but I found that distance is primarily limited by obstructions, so if you can mount the receiver outside in line of sight to the sender you can experience maximal range. This antenna has a screw on coaxal type connector approx 1/4 inch diameter - the receiver has the male fitting.

Well ultimately it depends where you are and how far the closest repeater. I'm in the High Desert in California and I'm hitting the repeater 54 miles away with a simple magnetic car trunk antenna using a "cookie sheet" as a ground..lol. So any 2 meter ground should suffice..

unless you make a duplex directional wi fi transmitter antenna and duplex receiver or have a few signal boosters along the way 2,640 feet is a little far for wi fi no matter how good the equipment. If you go line of sight no obstructions at all I have been at 400 feet. but i will not leave equipment out side to have that range.

Hey Brandon- The range on these is awesome! I had a gated community that I had direct line of sight to the antennae that was mounted on a pole 10' high, and was well over 500'.Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.Thanks...Matty

1-1 1/2 miles in urban environment, 2 miles suburban, 3-5 miles open countryside. Make sure to mount the antenna just a little above the roof line of any surrounding buildings to achieve best range

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.

I don't know but I would not recommend this antenna. All of the testing I did with this antenna indicated that it decreased signal range as compared to factory antenna on my wireless access point. I took several measurements in different directions and at varying distances and in all cases the signal strength was less with this antenna.

This antenna will work fine on 10 meters. Just trim to achieve lowest SWR in the middle of your expected operating range and enjoy ! !

radius is roughly 25-30 yards... on the same level (floor and outdoors) as the router. you do have to be careful of obstructions (metal doors/ductwork/appliances/etc) as they'll reflect the signal. a good central location would be best. :)

Don't know, but the connection on the new antenna is 1/4-20 thread. These units did nothing for range enhancement.

I am 30 miles away from broadcast towers and although they are quite clear, the lower channels are tough to tune in. I'd say you should probably go with a larger outdoor antenna at that distance.

You can check their website for the specs...I think the one we have has a range of 60 - 75 miles, if my memory serves me. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store/ClearStream-4-Ultra-Long-Range-Outdoor-DTV-Antenna.html
