Do you have a router with detachable antennas or need to broadcast your hotspot to share over a large area or with friends?
We've setup some examples of how to use high gain omni-directional and directional antennas with your router to suite your needs. Whether on the 5GHz or 2.4GHz spectrum you can continue to use your dual band routers and access points on long distance connections. - Věda a technologie
Great content! Not super complex, but goes into everything I needed to get started.
This video helped out a lot! I came a way with a much better understanding of how antennas work in general. Thanks! :-)
This made my day! =)
thanks u have answered the question that i been looking for , for a long time , i need then 2 parabolic antennas for my dual band wireless antenna ,
If you have just 1 antenna port, you will need a power divider. We're currently developing one for WiFi freq.. maybe in about 6 mos we'll have it on the site.
my antenna has 2 port connections is a dual wifi one
Guy, your videos are so helpful.
Thanks - much appreciated.
Great video mate! Found it very useful.
Our neighbours have two 60ft towers on two different farms...12 miles apart. No problems after 3 years. Very flat terrain here.
Cool stuff Mates :-)
Superb content, loved it.
Nice Work
Can You please suggest me a setup that will cover 200m omni directional or 200m withn 120 degree
Thank you. Attach a small laser beam to make aiming the antenna easier.
Great video that lead many reference to mine as well
Reach out if you are interested in working collaboration.
What can we do together?
If you create any antenna modification, I can test for you in our anechoic chamber and provide the results.
Hi, very nice vid.
I would like to know if there is a way to get decent wifi to indoor neighbouring houses via an Ap. Thanks !!!
good work sir i require round about 1-2 km range wifi signal clint mobile ,tablet etc suggest me.which is best for me
from that router netgear? can I use one antenna port only for external high power omni antenna and the remaining two router antenna will be inside the house?
hey, thanks for the video, was really helpful!
I have a double-antenna router, can I change just on of them with a 8 dbi one? Is it dangerous for the router to work with two different antennas ?
It's OK
Doesn't the MIMO config on that router cause issues when using three different antennas? From what I understand mixing different antennas ,especially to the extreme displayed here, will cause more issues than anything with a MIMO enabled router? Also on this particular router all 3 stock antennas are dual band, wouldn't attaching 2.4 only antennas cause issues in conjunction with the other dual bands at the same time?
I want you to test the signal for high gain omni outdoor antenna both 2.4G and 5G wifi and to test how many meters the signal range.
Could you use these on a computer to pick up wifi, or can these only transmit signal?
Is the Fiberglass antenna good to receive 4G LTE signal in a low signal area?
Very informative. How far can you extended your WiFi using this technique? Or how far can your WiFi signal reach? I’m quiet new to this, just trying to learn and get an idea before I move back at my home town overseas. since I know that WiFi there doesn’t reach very far when you have a big property so I decided to get some ideas. Thanks in advance guys.
Hello, there are many different factors and variables. Elevation, power, cable loss, obstructions, and more and more... It would be better to give us a call once you are ready and we can walk you through the right equipment for your specific needs. =)
If I am to connect two 8dbi omnidirectional antenna, what should be the distance between them on the mounting wall? The aim is to reach a longer distance. Is this possible?
hello , can we use alfa adapter instead of the router with detachable antennas ?
I a m learning loads of interesting stuff thank you
Good video, thanks. What is the best antenna for connecting wifi cameras to a router about 1000 feet away?
A directional type. Give us a call to talk about it more in detail.
@@SimpleWiFi what is best way to extend WiFi out of a hotel building to other close building?
What I need to buy from you to do this so the other building can get WiFi signal with high speed?
Currently I have fiber connection in the hotel building.
Deep Diving into Wifi Signal Princples
Altamonte Springs, FL (Nov. 19, 2020 6.30 p.m.) -- I'm doing research into wifi signal principles to better understand how my Alfa WifiCamp Pro 2 antenna works so I can configure the antenna placement in the best way. And to have reasonable expectations because I understand the limits and capabilities of the System.
You may laugh, but right now I have the 9dbi stock antenna mounted sideways (horizontal) lengthwize on the roof of my van about six inches above the metal roof. This was done to avoid having the antenna stick straight up all the time and be at risk to being struck by trees and other low hanging obstacles. I am researching the best mount for the antenna, such as an motorized mobile antenna raiser system, which are out there, but at a cost. I did not loose reception of the signal all together. I am still able to park outside of a location and receive the signal reasonably well. I have lost longer distant reaches I was used to. But, that was a fair trade off. I also noticed, that I started picking up other locations vs the usual location when the antenna was pointed straight up (Now sideways).
Today, also noticed (since I changed the horizontal direction from side to side ( same direction as the bumpers) at the rear of the vehicle ( and not I have it lenghwize from back to front. I still get signals, but other signals I never saw in the scan are poppinp up. I found this very interesting, and it reminded me that I have to get up to speed regarding wifi signal principles. Up to now I basically new that the 2.4 signal was better for distance, but bad or obstacles, and the 5 ghz signal was good for obstacles, but bad or distance. That became true when I was able to receive Walmart's signal at 2.4 very far away at the edges of their parking lots. So I had eviidence of the workings of the signal to use to better understand the principles.
So now I'm deep diving this again, and stumbled across your videos to cover the concepts as presented, and engaging in I guess research 2.0 for wifi. Just getting to the level of understanding that there were commercial wifi extenders for vehicles was a lesson for me a few months ago or since the Corvid crises really started shutting down things, causing me to have to use wifi from outside my usual places like Starbucks or other places broacasting free wifi.
So now I think, and given my hotspot reception results after having placed the Alfa antenna from straight, to sideways and rotating it in its sideways position, on top of the van (9 feet up), I now think understanding the signal's "shape" dbi strengths, and different types of antennas (omni, directional, etc). is my next area to get a better understanding of. That way, I can know I have the right size antenna, cable, mount, and position for the configuration for my Alfa.
I would add, I also painted the white fiberglass antenna using black rustoleum paint, and recently read an article about metalic paint issues when painting antennas. Most of my roof rack and accessories are black, and I prefer not to have my roof accessories screaming for attention. Hense, the black paint.
A couple of quick questions:
1. I'm looking to separate the "tube" from the "antenna" in my Alfa kit. This will alow me a sleeker antenna mount (only a cable leading to the antenna), not having the larger tube being directly attached to the bottom of the antenna. Also, the tube converts the connection from the antenna to USB cable, which is routed to the Alta router/repeater device. What I would like to do is attatch a cable to the end of the tube, and run that to the exterior of the vehicle to the antenna mount location, and directly to the antenna. The tube will then be mounted inside the vehicle at an appropriate location. Question: What types of connections, cables would I need to go from the tube to the antenna. What size cable (to avoid signal degrading), and connectors. Should I also shorten the long 20ft usb cable since I am no longer using that for the signal. Or, is there an advantage of keeping the USB cable as long as possible because of that may be happening at the tube end. Perhaps, converting the antenna signal to digital with less loss than using the RF cable?
2. Also, what exaclty is happening to he fiberglass 9dbi antenna signal when I mount it sideways instead of up and down? I still was picking up signals, and why?
3. If I'm looking at this correctly, eventhough the large antennas mounted up on the roof of the structure in your video may "reach" the devices within their sectors, the device still is only "transmitting" its data at its standard little antenna. Doesn't the device have limited capabilities to transmit back information to the large antennas? In other words, I could receive without question the strong signal from the source using the upgraded antenna (a video stream perhaps), but would my device have difficulty reaching the antenna if I were to try to upload a video to youtube? My antenna on the computer is still the same limited radio/antenna setup it always was. So I'm thinking there must be something else going on as well other than just transmitting, but in the receiving capabilities of the larger antennas. They are both transmitting AND receiving week signals Ilike fom my computer). Is that correct? And Why?
Look foward to your comments.
so he sp is the smll conector andthe hp a little bigger, do i hook up the outside dish or colinear to the same plugs on back of router if i wanted to receive a wifii signl from someone else
Best explanation I have seen yet...I need to send signal to a guest house 250 feet away. I would like to send another signal to a camper 600 feet away, but some trees are in the way and it is downhill. Right now I have the Arris gateway from Comcase ( no external antenna) and I have pigtailed into it an older Netgear WNDR 3800...also no external antenna. It sounds like I will need to get a router with detachable antenna in order to connect a directional antenna? Would the Omni type suffice? Can I use the netgear antenna I have in the guest house or do I need to get two new routers? Thanks!!!!!
Glad you like the video! =)
What you need is the WiFi repeater kit. I talk about it in this video: czcams.com/video/puz0LNMFC-4/video.html
Here it in on the site: www.simplewifi.com/products/wifi-repeater
How do you remove the existing antenna from the Netgear Nighthawk router? Mine doesn't seem to want to come out; I have a Nighthawk AC1750
Great video. One question, is there an Omni antenna dual band outdoors
yes
Hi , I’m rininning 6 wifi solar cameras at 400 to 500 feet from my house/ router in the country … right now I’m using a directional antenna to reach my furthest camera but only manage to get 2 out of 3 wifi bars ! Will I gain more range from my router’s signal if I use a low frequency omnidirectional antenna placed 45 feet in the air àbove my house roofline which is 35 feet high?
Thank yo for your video tutorial. I wold likt to cover 1 squire Kilometer area do kindly suggest me what to do.
Start researching more... after that use some Ubiquiti access points and sector antennas. That's a start - come back when you know more. =)
How about the panel extender what to consider while installing?
would this work as receiving signals for router/repeater? i would want to get the signal from my other house just 50m away
If I use one of these to transmit signal to another building (750ft away) on our farm, what do I need to use for a receiver in order to connect another router in that building?
Thanks for the great tutorial!
My pleasure - you will need a PiFi repeater at the other building.
How would you use the 2.5ghz directional antenna to access your neighbor's WiFi (with permission of course) and put that into your own router or switch in your home?
Can you gave me an idea what omni direction antenna i need to use to extend my wifi as much as possible. Thanks in advance :)
How far do you need to go/get
I Easily get my wifi from floor below me 125 ft away
Using better antennas and or wifi extenders
I can minimally triple that
Or outside go a mile or more
Many factors deside what best to do
I try capture free WiFi from the the Tim Hortons 1 miles far. What's my best option you think
Great Video..
Many needd watch this to learn and see what works Best
You guys do Need to fix your Links
Many Don't work
Happy Holliday's to All
What model of netgear you use?
Nice job
I'm sure this vid is great for those who know what you're actually saying, lol, but do you have a vid that dumbs it down for people like me? I need an external antenna to boost the signal in our house because we live in the boondocks and use a mobile hotspot router for our internet.
What is the maximum reach/range can the omni antenna offer under best conditions?
Depends on how many db gain
Where installed
In part how high.. free of obsticals etc
That said
I gram wifi both in 2.4 as well as 5ghz bands 125 feet away
My router on floor below on other side of my residence
If I change out to a better router
With better router antennas
I can easily triple that
And or run wifi extenders and or mesh systems
Hi there, I would like to ask, the parabolic wifi antenna and tv aerial antenna. Does it cause any reception problems if they are mounted on the same pole?
Yes and or No
If parabolic placed on bottom.. with TV antenna mounted 3.5 ft above
You should be fine
I want to improve my 5G wifi router speed give me any suggestions i have only router
Give information abut antenna
I was wondering if you can still use external antennas of different types with a router that uses beam-forming or MIMO?
Yes because those features are software based and are independent of the antenna design. In some high capacity functions special antennas are used and paired perfectly with the device - but in almost all personal use cases it does not matter.
What about doing this with a range extender? I need to connect to a signal that's about 1/8th mile away and send it back out into my RV. I was looking at the ex6200 which has removable antennas and getting some sort of directional antenna that I'll mount on the roof. There's 2 antennas on the extender, I assume one is to receive the signal from the source then the other is to repeat it?
Yes this will work. Contact support for more details
hi mate, can i use that thing for my access point which ihave bought TP-link 940n for repeater ? or i need the netgear router that yours cables switched on it in the video ?
If it has detachable antennas then yes you can.
Which one would you recommend me putting outside my house Omni-Directional WiFi Extender Antenna (Long Range) Outdoor Signal Booster or SimpleWiFi Yagi WiFi Extender - Long Range High Speed Wi-Fi Booster?
Depends on what your end goal is - give us a call to discuss. 305-798-8505
helo sir imfaris from saudi arab
I'm a big fan of you, I'm amazed at your intelligence❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want to ask you ☝
can i ask you ASUS Router AC5300 Can it all be converted into an external antenna?
8 pieces of Antena (Yagi Antenna) Do you work this way?
Nice explanation! Do high power antennas require more power from the router? Could a cheap router overheat from certain antennas?
No, antennas do not drain power, they simply radiate it the power being provided within a certain beam wdith. Antennas are really just dumb metal that is tuned to act a certain way.
Thank you. Lots of misinformation on the internet.
i am getting an open wifi from my neighborhood can i use a router to catch that wifi and transmit it into my home?
could it be possible to make a Y connection for a dual wireless antenna receiver for one parabolic grid antenna ?
Yes but the parabolic is single band. So there is no point - it would only radiate the freq that the grid is designed for. Hope this helps..
gotcha , so am better off getting 2 antennas that will do it thanks for the help,
got it thanks, ill get 2 of those antennas
HI WHAT MODEL IS THE Nighthawk WiFi Range . YOU PUT IN THE VIDEO PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU.
Hello, it's the AC1900
what setup would you recommend for a school with poor wireless 2.4 GHz internet coverage.?
Depends on many variables. I would contact a local networking installer.
I would like to order an antenna but need a little guidance. I have a barn roughly 500ft from my house I want signal to but also would like signal in the near area around my house. In your video you said there is a possibility of losing near signal when sending long range. I have a pole that I can mount antenna on up to 20ft above ground. What are my options? Multiple antennas are OK.
Thanks!!
Hello, what you need is a hot spot kit at the main house and the PiFi on the barn. czcams.com/video/K3xBD8ZaT4I/video.html
How to manage the TP-Link TL-ANT2410MO as hotspot?
Great content. My question is about receiving a signal not sending it out. There are lots of trees between me and the ISP towers. I am about 2 miles from the two closest towers. In order to improve my reception, my ISP suggested installing an receiver/antenna about 500 feet from my home. There is no electricity at that spot. Is that the best option for me? If not, please offer a better solution. Thanks.

work for wifi adapter tplin-wn722n?
Omni-Directional or Directional?
i need something that will function at 600 yards. Would the 2.4 here work? I work in a school 600 yard from my house. The school has little phone signal, or functional wifi. There would be some trees in the way, but line of sight otherwise. No tall buildings or hills. The room I most need signal is on the house side of the building, so not walls in the way. I work in a school, so not loaded with dough. I'm rural, so no issues with having bulky antennas.
You might be able to get by with a PiFi and a directional grid. Contact us for more details.
Hi please can you recommend any omni directional antenna that can send signal to about 10 kilometer 2. it there any device that can split antenna connection? thus if I wish to connect two antennas to a router with one antenna port thanks
Our 15dBi omni-directional antenna. I don't recommend splitting the ports.
can you in theory connect the cable to a DJI drone controller (with mods) and increase the range?
If those antennas are removable..
Then yes ofcourse
What frequencys do they use ?
which is better to receive signal through wall? omni or directional given the same dbi
Directional is always better for penetration and range.
hey mate can u use the night hawk router as a repeater and connect it to the external wifi
If you are an advanced user then yes, other wise you need the WiFi repeater kit.
So I have a barn in 1 direction of my house (frontyard) - and a shop the opposite way of my house (backyard) would 2 directional antennas make more sense- or 1 omni- thanks
1 omni if you can mount it high.
I want to be able to get WiFi out in my shop about 200 -300 ft away from my router but not sacrifice reception in the house. What would you recommend. I will in the future burry cat6 and hook it up to another router in the shop but that’s a long ways away.
This is a very common scenario we come across. Check out the PiFi repeater: pifinetworks.com/

شكرا على الشرح الممتع
السلام عليكم هل الطريق في القيديو طبقتها ونجحت معاك
do you think with the 15dbi 2.4ghz antenna would be good enough for about 500meters of distance?
Yes
Nice thanks
I know I'm 4 years late to the party but either I'm just not looking in the correct area or there's not much information on this. I have been trying to get information of actual range, not theoretical, do you have any advice? I'm looking to help family out that lives approximately 1000ft from me as the crow fly's, no land obstructions, just trees and a couple houses.
Will upgrading/leaving the middle antenna stock affect this router's "beamforming" performance?
I don't believe so since beam-forming is decided upon packet loss and speed so the router should compensate. More testing needs to be done though...
Very very good question
If you have a dual band router with 1 antenna, can you switch that small indoor antenna to a Omni outdoor antenna that only works with 2.4ghz? Must the new attached antenna be "dual" in order to work or will it work with 2.4ghz automatically?
Yes you can. It does not have to be dual - that antenna will only give off 2.4GHz. Good question.
I am home alone got bored so i decided i might look into sending wifi up to our top paddock 😂
I saw another video a guy made a homemade reciver using a coax tin can copper wire and a old dish and he said it could receive would these antennae be able to transmit aswell as receive ?
All antennas receive and transmit.
What brand and where did you get the black upgraded antennas?
It's our own - www.simplewifi.com
Hopefully you can help us out.
We attend a boarding school, and we are allowed to use the wifi provided in the common area.
Coverage is good around the 30 feet around the placement of the router in the office, but our dorms rooms are about 35 feet from the router, and those that have rooms very close can actually use the wifi at night if they approach their door.
We have been trying for them to increase the range, but it is just something they don't want to do.
Is there a way, or a device, that will allow us to pick up the signal from the 40 or 50 foot range? We were thinking of adding a wifi extender, but there is no power outlets in the common area we can use for this.
Could you give us some ideas, or direct us towards how to solve this problem? After that we can just add repeaters every other dorm room or so... You will have a lot of great full kids! Thanks in advanced.
So the quickest, cheapest and easiest way is to use a USB adapter on your computer. This will increase the reception power of the computer the USB adapter is connected too. In order to get more signal for other devices, it becomes more complicated and expensive. www.simplewifi.com/collections/usb-adapters/products/usb-adapter?variant=43721877647
Check out the Simple WiFi N700. You can than use indoor omni-directionals or directional panels for even more range.
The problem with that is that the computer we use always has to be on, and that we would need a secondary card to retransmit the data to other rooms and other kids, and that would make us dependent on the 2 guys that live in that first room and if they are in their room and that they actually leave their device on and so forth.
What we need is a real solution to expand the coverage for all, and we are all willing to chip in, so at 10 dollars a pop 78 students, assuming that most give, we can pool 500US very easily. So is there another solution for that first step? After that we can just add repeaters to get the signal to the end dormrooms.
Do we need another antenna at the other end to transmit back to the main router or just a single antenna at the origination point will be sufficient ?
Just the one ( most of the time ) connected to the router
On more extreme needs.in a super tough to reach area one can then install a wifi extender or mesh system
@@MrBOB39 thanks for the reply although it came late. :)
I have your kit K24gec-g2421-n1, Do you provide a diagram? i.e. do I install the antenna at my shed or at the house?
You want to install the kit pointing towards the hotspot you want to repeat. It should go I guess in the shed where there is currently no WiFi.
Hey man I see this is totally about WiFi which I am very interested in and have already ordered stuff to head in the same direction you mention here. I can't do it all at once but have a nice USB WiFi adapter on the way with a 9DBi antenna.
I was also wondering if the very same thing can be done for folks in rural area's with zero cell phone service inside the house? My Dad has to leave the house and drive to various locations outside the house to get verison service. Its 3/4's of a mile to get cell service and internet for those of us with At&t smart phones.
Hey, yes it can be done. For boosting cell signal only you can install a cellular amplifer which I talk about in this video: czcams.com/video/g3JOjRe2Kto/video.html / We also work with a company that does rural internet off cell towers. They are: 4gantennashop.com/
Hi, this stuff already exists. I did a video on an install for a cell booster here: czcams.com/video/g3JOjRe2Kto/video.html

Can I use such antennas indoors to get wide range of coverage?
Yes
I’m wanting to get WiFi to a live video camera (security type) 150 yards away. Can i use a directional antenna to receive audio and video this way?
Yes - as long as your router has detachable antennas.
Can it be used along side a USB wifi adapter?
I'm building a raspberry pi router for my lil cousin who lives about a mile a way clear line of sight.
I'll be using one on my router and the other on the raspberry pi with a USB wifi adapter. 5ghz of course
yes it can - you can plug it into any device with a detachable antenna.

The antenna will extend the signal for sure, I am not sure about your AP. Chances are that it cannot support that many clients at once. You will need something more commercial grade.
i want to access my wifi in our house even if i am in 2 or 3km range away..would it be posible thankyou for the answer.

I have a router TP-Link Archer c50 v1 has 2 antennas ... today opened it I noticed that the internal connector and cable pigtail u.fl. I wonder if the antennas are dual or are separate. because I would like to buy antennas 2.4mhz of 14dbi and 5mhz of 14dbi. Is it possible to put these antennas?
Usually they are dual. And yes it is possible.
What tripod did you use for the antenna?
wineguard
Have you tried this with the 2.4 and how far does it project out. I am currently working on a marina that has two AP's that are covering most of the area but would like to add a Omni directional to the router itself to get the outer edge of the marina.
Yes, this is mostly done on 2.4GHz. It's really the best option for long range applications. It's a lower frequency than 5GHz which would allow it to penetrate further through obstructions. For your marina install, I would use a sectorial antenna. I talk about it on this video: czcams.com/video/BSis9tjbX7s/video.html If you have any other questions shoot me an email, Support@SimpleWiFi.com

Yes all that is possible - but it probably safer to just get a better router with detachable antennas.

Yes ut more details need to be covered. Feel free to call us and we'll walk you through what you need: 305-798-8505 (USA based support)
That will work, however with your plan you will need to have 1 antenna per camera since it is so directional. A better option would be our 11dBi omni or maybe a sector panel with a wider spread.
SimpleWiFi What is the range on the Omni antenna? That sounds like a good idea.
Max .5 mile.
Omni will do it then. :) Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
