For a WRT54G do I need two booster antennas since there are two factory antennas? Do I need the RP-TNC to RP-SMA adapter too?

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

Hi Lynette, Yes, you do need two of them (in any case)....and if you buy this particular antenna...then yes, you need the 2 adapters. I returned this one & just bought another with the correct connector (RP-TNC for your WAP54G) to begin with (for the same price). Good Luck!

I received the same information from Linksys, namely, that they didn't know if the WRE54G will work with the WRT160N. However, in chatting with the technician I mentioned I'm only using "G" and had disabled the "N" channel on setup of the WRT460N. He said this might work so I've ordered one. Check back with me in about 10 days and I'll let you know how I made out. Email: wwgorman@msn.com

FWIW, 802.11N and AC routers really *do* need multiple antennas to take full advantage of the technology available (e.g. MIMO). Having multiple antennas can enable the device to receive/transmit simultaneously & also helps to filter interference/noise (e.g. caused by multipath propagation). That all can translate to improved Tx/Rx speeds, and better range & signal quality (i.e. fewer dropouts, better SNR).I'm not saying you need to buy three of these to replace the originals, but you should generally keep the original _quantity_ of antennas connected for best performance with the radios in the hardware. (Assuming the company engineered the device properly, and Asus usually seems to do a good job of that).

The one that it comes with works fine but for better performance get a boosted antenna and make sure it has the sma connection, the gold connector on the cord. I have 2 antenna's, one that came with my dvd/nav deck which is boosted and the other that comes with the boyo box. Boosted is better, also the ground and 12v wire, hook to any ground source but the 12v I connected it to my car lighter power wire under my deck using wire crimps.

Usually boosters refer to an upgrade around the modem itself, like a better antenna. The repeater is more of a stand alone unit that you place between the router and the place that you want to get a better signal.I have 3 of these units in 2 diff homes.Great for cell phones & laptops where you have "dead" spots in the home.

The WRT54GL has removable antennas. It uses RP-TNC connectors. Be aware of what you're buying before purchasing an antenna. While a better antenna will help signal quality issues, it's not a cure-all or a magic wand.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

Unsure you will have to remove your routers antenna(s) and check for what type of coax connector you will need. I own two of these antennas and use them with a linksys WRT54g router and some other connectors I have. The two antennas on your router are not for send and receive they are for frequency diversity. Hope this helps also you can extend your current wifi network for free by flashing your router with Dd-WRT there are videos online about this process.

Unfortunately you cannot. The Asus RT-N56U has an internal, non upgradable antenna array with no external SMA ports. This antenna will only work with routers that have external/removable antennas.

You unscrew one of the antennas off the modem and single booster has an attachment where you screw in an attachment to your modem. Plug the amped wirless signal booster up and your good to go

Looks like you need an SMA male to BMC female adapter. Your new antenna might be a little much for the poor little SMA connector on the Wouxun. With that being said, some good sources would be: dxengineering.com (Part Number DMN-BNCJ-SMAP. Price ~$10.) Powerwertx.com (Part Number RF-8382. Price ~$6.00.) Allied Electronics - alliedelec.com (Part Number 70198126. Price ~$11.00.)Hope that helps. There are many other vendors the can help your needs.

One should be all you need. BUT, it is a very marginal antenna. I'd get something better like Powerlink or Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW 2W 802.11g/n High Gain USB Wireless G / N Long-Range WiFi Network Adapter with 5dBi Screw-On Swivel Rubber Antenna and 7dBi Panel Antenna and Suction cup / Clip Window Mount

You shouldn't need to have another booster after the distribution amplifier in my opinion. I'm driving two TVs and an FM radio just fine with the HDA-200 attached to two UHF directional antennas up attached to my chimney. You may want to examine your input (antennas) to the HDA-200, rather than trying to further boost a signal...

This is an extension that goes between the base and the antenna. Giving you an extra 50FT between them. It has a booster built it so no signal loss. You use the antenna that came with the original unit.

it is about same be aware I run ddwrt most of time or merlinwrt which is a slightly modified asuswrt factory firmware dont try to raise the transmit power big nono the chipset is amplified after the transmiter chip so increasing transmit power will do nothing but fry the booster / amplifier causing wireless to no longer function. Best option for increasing range is to get better antennas and to use good cables preferably LMR400 low loss and like 15dbi outside antennas 3 of each to be exact and keep cable length to a minimum to get less signal loss. Cheap antennas found on amazon / ebay tend to be garbage and are often 90% no better than the oems and often worse. it is about same be aware I run ddwrt most of time or merlinwrt which is a slightly modified asuswrt factory firmware dont try to raise the transmit power big nono the chipset is amplified after the transmiter chip so increasing transmit power will do nothing but fry the booster / amplifier causing wireless to no longer function.

You will need 9. I don't see a t adapter. You could install it an run some coax cable but timeconsuming. YYou'd do better just to add this antenna to each set.
