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. To get the
best range from your outdoor antenna,
please ask us about upgrading your
Linksys or D-Link Access point.
