having Just one high gain antennas is Usless for long range connectiion without a second high gain antenna on the other side so basically because you have a powerfull high gain antenna does not mean you will be able to pickup wifis from miles away unless you have another high gain antennas on the other side having just one high gain antenna it might pickup lots of wifis but connecting to most of them is impossible signal will be to weak!!!
@Atom1cKitten Line of site, an amature radio guy got 145 kilometers on a homemade bi-qaud and a parabola (6 foot satalite dish).
the tower I think was 100+ feet in the air.... as if trees, or anything else would have LIMITED the range ;-)
or are you thinking more like he just put it by the pc and expexcted it to blast through 100's of things that aborb or reflect radio wifi signals lol nope
@brodygates You know something? I have been looking at the Internet for an antenna and am surprised by the number of companies who bullshit me about how powerful their antennas are and cannot answer a simple question of how far in miles or km their antennas can pick up a signal.
@AEF091 they cant tell you that.. heres an example of what they need to know..
is it line of sight ? (meaning no trees,.metal,,concrete etc..) what are the laws, if any, in your country, state the maximum amplification in watts for a non licensed radio antenna/tower?
make sure all the ppl know.. watts miliwatts dbi or dbm gain does NOT determine the range. Its determines the signal strength. :-\ there are a lot of factors to calculate ..
I'm debating on buying one of these. 55$ though. I can a get a soldering iron off craigslist for 10$ and make a much easier to place homemade version. but who wants to fukin calibrate that sh!t. Anyone got any good ideas??
@imuahawaii808 it does not "comsume" more than your router or WiFi-card outputs, uasualy close to 25mW & about 12V. Some routers gives you access to boost your output up to ~250mW, costom firmware in your router like ddwrt lets you do that. You can also buy "range boosters"/amplefier, which can give you ~1W boost.
NO FUKN WAY THIS THING HAS 24 DBI!!!!!!!!!!!

are these much stronger than a 18db yagi antenna?

@brodygates Says fkin 56 KM on their site.. O_o damn if it achieved half that I would be impressed.

How much electricity would the 5.8 GHz / 30.5 dBi antenna consume? What about the 2.4 GHz?
