Awesome speed gain!

I have a secondary computer located in another room of my home, with two walls in the line of sight of the router, which is a Netgear R6400. I have an older TP-Link TL-WN851N, Ver. 2.0, PCI networking card on that PC, running Windows 10 Pro x64 (Asus P5Q-E motherboard, Core2 Quad Q9650 CPU, 8GB of RAM). All older equipment, but fine for me as a secondary PC. The best download speed I could ever get with that configuration is 15-20 Mbps. By simply changing to the higher gain antennae, I was instantly able to attain an average internet download speed of 50-60 Mbps (My hardwired network speed as provided by my cable provider on my other PC is 100Mbps). That's up to a 300% gain in download speed! Awesome is all I can say. For just a few dollars I was able to give my older PC a huge boost in wireless communication speed. Because the higher the gain on an antenna, the more directional they become, I had misgivings about expecting much improvement over my stock 2 dBi antennae, so the results greatly exceeded my expectations. The antenna is long, at about 15", but because it is installed on the back of a full tower case, it is hardly noticeable. I was later thinking about changing out the antennae on my router too, but alas, that model has fixed antennae, but even then I am very satisfied with the current configuration. Of course my results are purely subjective, and different configurations and/or environments may yield better or not as good results, but I highly recommend this product!

A solid value

I ordered these antenna to upgrade/replace the antenna on two outside cameras. There were two goals I hoped to achieve. One antenna was falling apart and needed replaced and I was looking to improve the quality of the wifi signal I was receiving at that location. This is a two pack of 9DBI gain antenna for approximately $14 which seemed like a good deal, one certainly within the, " Under a $20 bill give em' a try, no big loss", if they don't improve my wifi reception at the cameras.. At the very least I was replacing one bad antenna with a new which wasn't falling apart. Both fit the antenna connector on each camera just fine. No issues there. They are at least twice as long as the ones I replaced. I didn't measure but they are 12", maybe more, in length. Not an issue unless you want your camera to go unnoticed by folks. I then logged into my router to check the signal strength. After playing with the antenna position for a few minutes I was pleased to see that they did indeed result in seeing a higher signal strength being reported by the router. Now it didn't peg the needle at 11 but it did move from a good signal strength and sometimes strong signal strength reading to being consistently reported as a strong signal. So my second goal was achieved. I'm feeling good about this expenditure. If you're in the market for new antenna and getting some more signal strength on a wireless device on the edge of your home wifi, these are worthy of being considered.

Item worked for me.

Purchased this item in dealing with a recent issue of somewhat complicated deployment of: "It was working fine but in the last ...blah..blah..blah.. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't." Every time I tested everything seemed to worked for me. So in the interest of ruling out all points of failure, I did a bit of physical examination of all the equipment and realized that one of the two antenna in the project had been damaged in a recent storm. So I purchased this item which has two antenna and replaced both antenna. The results were a "Success!". So I have no reservation and would recommend this item.

Quick fix

The booster antennas arrived quickly and resolved my issues with my outdoor cameras thus providing a good signal for all four units inside. Initially added one to a camera replacing the short antenna to no avail so I added both to the rear of my receiver and used the longer antennas from the receiver on two of my longer range cameras. It resolved all issues and I am finally seeing a steady signal from four cameras. Thanks for an easy fix and quality product at a super price.

Gave the range I needed

I easily installed these on the security camera box because the smaller ones that came with it did not go through walls well. I was having to hang it over the edge of my desk and position the antennas just right to pick up my furthest cameras. When I installed these I placed the box behind my computer where it belonged and presto, was getting a good signal and picking up all cameras no issue.

An affordable way to significantly boost your netwrok

These antennas added maximum range to dead spots within my home and out in the yard around the house. I did not connect them to my router however. Instead, I connected them to both of my Linksys AC 1200 range extenders; one on a lower level and one in the attic. To give a better idea as to how big of a difference these antennas made, I just measured the Line Of Sight (LOS) distance from the one in my attic and it was still pushing MAX signal (5 bars) across the street from my home, which is about a good 80 feet. I used to only get 3 bars in my garage, now I'm maxed out, even across the street! Mind you, that's with no obstructions other than the front wall of the house. I would have gone further, but that would be trespassing! I did lose a significant amount of signal as I did pass under the trees in the yard; dropped down to two bars. But, that's to be expected because vegetation can have a very negative impact on transmitted signals. I always wondered if these things were a gimmick, but now I know they are fabulous! Most people just need a "boost" to make their current network a little more robust. If that's you and you don't want to spend the cash on a new router just yet, get these antennas to add new life to a lagging performer.

Cheap and easy solution for me

I live in an apartment and share a fast internet connection with a neighbor. They moved to a further away apartment and we were trying to get a workaround for them to still access it. They share in my internet expense. Finally someone suggested higher gain antennas. Ordered these. Took a few minutes to unscrew the existing and screw two new ones on. Now there is enough reach for them to get a signal!

This has been the answer I have been looking for, and I stumbed on it by accident, sort of....

Ok so TECHTOO has been asking me for a review on this item numerous times. Well here it is. How things are (were): Computer: Home made Gaming machine, multiple video cards (I am a computer nerd BTW. Professional engineer for 20+ Years.) Router: TP-Link WNDR-3600 Wireless Antenna: Alfa Networks. Had to once you read about my residence. ISP: Charter 60 Down 4 UP Residence: 150 year old brick building. Brick as in everything. Although the router is only about 50 feet away as the human walks, Probably 30 feet as the crow flies, I was getting OK reception. By that I mean, I had maybe half the bars. And that was of course with the Alfa antenna hanging high in a vertical pattern. I have 2 brick walls to negotiate to get to the wireless router. Now I see you all shaking your head and asking "Why not just drop in some cat 6". Well again, BRICK. Anyway, I bought an (redacted) AP ONLY as I have built my own firewall/router and it did not have wireless. And guess what? The AP does NOT come with any antennas. Yes, bought new from amazon, and says right on the box. But who reads things any more. NONE. Is that a scam or what? Who sells a device who's only function is not included? PROS: -Running Speedtest.net on charters own fiber lines (Location not given) numerous times I was only get 26 meg download. Really, this is more than enough for me. I simple removed the 5" Long antennas and replaced them with these 9DB and I now am getting 45 meg download. Upload was 4 in all scenarios. That is almost DOUBLE the speed and my phone, which got no reception in my office, sitting right next to the alpha now gets 4 of 5 bars. This is awesome. Now I don't know if this was for 2.4ghz only or not, don't remember, but it works great in that area. Neutral: -Because this router had 5GHZ as well as 2.4GHZ I think it was difficult to find an antenna that kinda, sorta, fell in the middle. And 5GHZ is not even a harmonic so the world has struggled with that. But unless you own a MAC or a newer android you don't even know how many 5GHZ networks are probably around you. I have shut off this "feature" on the router and got the same results. I don't think it would do well with these antennas and I was not using it anyway. I might be wrong. Again didn't read, even this ad before writing this and I am not about to now. It may sway what I say. Cons: -LONG - These guys are long so if you are looking for something easy to hide, yeah, not gonna happen. If you look at photo they are plugged in at what is the base of a 42" LCD TV. So you can judge scale. AND remember these are Omni-directional so they have to go up and down (Vertically) to work the best or really at all. If you put them horizontal, you are asking for trouble with reception. That is the only con some people may see. For me, I am a geek, that is the LEAST geekiest thing in my home. Summary: This is a great product if you need to extend your existing router. Just make sure your antennas unscrew and that the screw in is the RP-SMA or you will be having an issue. Professionally I have quite a few clients looking to extend the range just a little bit without the purchase of another AP and the cost to run a line. I have a Hotel that has struggled with a far back room on the second floor from AP2 and struggling with the Bar area AP1. I will be talking to him about replacing those out with this. Think of DBI as a sort of multiplier of signal. You are able to only go so far before the equation falls apart. So I stumbled on these antennas cause I needed them. I stumbled on this person selling them because I am cheap. And WOW, it really fits like a glove. NOW the real test. There is at least one of you out there reading this that is saying, well what about your firewall? Well thank you for asking, you may put your hand down. I am going to be installing that tomorrow and this TP-LINK router has served it's purpose but will be toss in the computer bone yards. (Yes we have electronics recycling here and I am very green) The antennas will then be moved to the new AP ONLY that I bought and we shall go marching on. I did have a chance to talk to one of the gentlemen over at TechToo via email and they also have a YAGI antenna. These would be directional antennas. Remember back in the days of TV antennas up on the roof. That smaller section in the middle? Well it is kinda like that. Yagi's are great if you need to beam your signal somewhere else. If you have a man cave out in the garage or other outside dwelling, or an open yet narrower spot like a fire pit or something this would be great. I work with wireless a lot and it has not been since 2008 I have seen anything strict but it sounds like TechToo has numerous offerings. There are some business that do not want their wireless going beyond the walls, but total coverage and power turn down or up can only go so far. NOTE: I AM NOT BEING PAID IN ANYWAY FOR THIS REVIEW. I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANYTHING. EVERYTHING EXPRESSED HERE WAS FROM MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, TESTING , AND HAPPY ACCIDENT I FOUND THEM. They will be getting a lot more business from me in the future.

Improved Bluetooth and WiFi on Z390 motherboard

I bought these to test out on a Asrock Z390 Taichi motherboard. I was mainly needing to increase range of the bluetooth. Using a PS4 controller it would drop when about 12-15 feet away from PC using the default antennas. I can only put one of these on the motherboard due to the size of the connector being so large, but with just one of them, I can go 60' away, even outside and never drop bluetooth connection with it. I put the other one on a 4gt modem and it increases the 2.4 wifi for my sonoffs that are at the other end of the house. Very please...

increased signal distance and stregnth

I live in a 3600 sq ft house. The signal has to pass trough 4 walls to get to the bedroom from the router/modem (Century Link) These pair replaced the original antenna and now i get 4 out of 5 bar signal strong plus pick up the wi fi signal in mu shed 80 feet to the rear of the house. Could not even think of doing it before. Trully a great asset.
