Has anyone attached a larger antenna and received longer range with this device?

Nope but sounds like a great idea, mine is working just fine the way it is.

Hello Brandon, yes that was my idea too. I have attached an 9 dbi antenna that was 5 times the size of the original antenna. And there was totally no difference in range

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

Sorry, I don't believe you can get that type of range from this unit without a significant antenna mod .. and in which case you may run into issues with the FCC if you are operating in the US.

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

I hace a largo 3700sq ft With thick armed concrete walls, before getting the extender phone reception wans not available in some parts of the house. After getting the extender, we have excellent reception in the entire house. I hope this helps...

My furthest is 75 feet with no problems. If you need range, they made an extender for the antenna.

If you are asking if it extends your wi-fi range- No. But you can get higher gain antennas which will.

I am using the Verizon Network Extender and the external antenna works awesome! I would like it would work with other network extenders.

I get great reception throughout the house and I have the router in the basement, but we are about 25 feet with full bars, but 40 to 50 yards seems far, I also bought a Amped wireless which claimed 20000 ft., which I returned, because it froze and didn't accomplish what was promised: Distance and functionality.

I can get most stations with this antenna near the receiver, though there's a few I can only get if I move it over to the windowsill, so I put a 6-foot extension on it.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

No, it's not meant to reach that kind of area. I'd call Wilson. They're support is really great. They may suggest something like this with different antennas or they may suggest a home sized unit.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

My longest is 102ft between 3 walls and still works great. It comes with a 300 ft booster antenna.

I get great reception with the new terk antennae, I am about 25 miles away from the tv towers. I have the non amplified version, however I bought the amplified version for my step father and it doesn't seem to work any better for him and he is about 20 miles from the tv towers.

Bigger the antenna the better the reception. If you don't mind the 6 foot wip you'll be fine.

I used the SODIAL(R) 5DB 2.4G SMA Male WiFi Wireless Adapter Network LAN Card Antenna to add range - works better. Great device.
