Is this antenna intended to be used at the router/source end or the remote/computer end? What am I missing?

It can be used on either end of the network connection. Obviously, there must be a removable antenna so that this antenna's cable can be screwed on.

Communications is two way, so this particular antenna has very low transmit gain and therefore even if it's receive sensitivity were much better, it could not work with one of them no matter which end you put it on. In actual testing, the output of this antenna was so bad that a unity gain (2.2 dbi) stick antenna was actually broadcasting with a slightly stronger signal when connected to the same equipment. I have tested a TPlink parabolic 24 dbi antenna that actually works for both transmit and receive.

Idk I bought it thinking it would increase my ability to pick up a signal but another piece I bought just boosted my signal I never used it .

hi, you can use it for either,i bought [2 ]one for each end to give me internet in my shop in a detatched building,works great....thanks bob

(You might want to note that for some strange reason this question is mistakenly being sent to people like me that bought the regular DirecTV "RC65" IR remote, not this IR/RF remote. That is why some think "antenna" refers to receiving broadcast stations over an antenna, entirely unrelated to this remote's IR antenna.)

Yep. In fact, that's the main reason I purchased this item.It all depends on the actual router whose signal your extending.

I believe you are referring to the antenna plug. This is a wireless router, what you need in this case is a cable modem from your Internet Service Provider.

One of two things, either you will have a stronger signal reception or they are for individual bands like a/b/g/n and the new one think it was ac or something with 2 letters i know some routers broadcast over multiple bands at the same time so it should use whichever is strongest and readily available

Can't help you with that one. I use it to simple send a stronger signal to a router in another building and it works good.

It depends of the software of the router whether it wants to use which radio to connect to a device. But if just the AD14EX is the only antenna it will only pick up the signal in the direction it is pointing at.

I used it for a TP-Link router to increase the reception/transmission power. You might look up the specifications for the antenna to get a better idea for your usage.

Location probably doesn't matter. The signal is amplified in the unit not in the wire between it and the tv. Ours is located near the tele, but that's only because of the mounting options we had.

Hi Robert, to get the best performance from the extender, we recommend that you place it halfway between the area you wish to cover, and the main router providing the signal. If you place it next to the desktop where the main router is located, it won't extend the connection any further than the main router. Whether it will reach the opposite end of your home, when set up correctly, depends on how big your home is :) However, this is one of our top of the line extenders and is designed to provide superior range and coverage,

This is designed as a point to point device and a very effective one I might add. I'd suggest the PROSAFE™ 14 DBI PATCH PANEL DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA, ANT24D18, from NetGear for your application.

The adapter sets itself to what your modem, or router puts out. It will not get anymore than what your equipment is capable of putting out.

Hello friend. The wire is really short coming out of this antenna, around 1.5 ft. Btw this is not a router, just an antenna. It also didn't do anything to improve signal quality, I recommend you not to buy this item.

Should work fine. My computer is on 2nd floor at opposite end of the house where the router is located.

No, it is simply an antenna to allow computers to wirelessly connect to home networks.

To the best of my knowledge it is only intended as a range extender and not designed to provide the services of a router. I have a very large ranch style, single story home, and router in my office is over 100 feet from the opposite end of the house. This unit significantly improved my signal strength, ending dropped connections from wireless devices in use on the other end of the house, and the guest house on the property.

I don't know. I haven't tried. It is in our new gymnasium and we may not have much need to try that. It won't be used a lot there. I have shut it off for now because when I turn my laptop computer on in the church it grabs the signal from the extender and it is slower because of the distance. I can always tell my computer to grab the signal from the router in the church.
