Not a network engineer. Is it possible to have 2 antenna for greater coverage?

Yes, absolutely, you can buy two of these and the EMSplit for them, or you can buy 3 with the EMSPlit3, or even 4 with the EMSplit4. These are at:

Not without some sort of directional antenna. I saw very little improvement with my application untill i added directional antennas at both ends

Depends. My range problem was on one side of the house, so I was able to buy just one and point it in that direction. It worked great for my application. If you have multiple weak areas then you may need to buy more than one. Regardless, it is not required that you buy more than one to upgrade the original antennas.

Yes and no. The beam-width of the signal isn't wide enough to cover a large area. You can configure it as an AP and cover a wedge of area. It isn't as simple as connecting the ethernet cable, you have to configure the device.

I am sure you can buy another antenna. However, the antenna included is a small one already compared to others. Good luck!

You can add a splitter but, remember that the splitter will induce a loss in both receivers. If your location from the transmitter is in the fringe area, my suggestion would be to install a second antenna. There is no splitter built that will not insert signal loss.

IF what you are asking for is combine two signals that already carry UHF/VHF into one feed, I used a Wineguard CC-7870 ( Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler ) to combine two Clearstream C2V ( ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range ) antennas pointed at different broadcast locations. Keep the cables near equal length for best results.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

There is no provision for an additional antenna. The radio is very good at pulling in signals, including the weather stations. Positioning the receiver next to a window would probably work. It's a well engineered receiver.

Yes, one will probably do the job. I was prepared to double up but it wasn't necessary. The signal was strong enough at the remote location (300 feet) without having to add equipment there.

it depends from that type of use is applied... if as AP is used you can use two omni directional antenna of 12 dbi, model HG-5812 U-Pro of the L-COM company... if as link is used you can use two grid antenna of 27 dbi, model HG-4958-27G always of the L-COM bye alex

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).

You probably could use a splitter but the reason I purchased the antenna was to replace the cable network

Hi there! Yes you can use multiple extenders for increased range - their main source of wireless connection would need to be the same.

You can get by with using the 0 and 1 antenna leaving the 2 open or you could order a 3rd antenna and put it in where ever you can I stuck one in the base under the keyboard. I never used mine with just 2 but honestly I'm done with Intel wireless cards both of the ones I bought had issues. I would go for a atheros one instead.

Good day friend, I think the Netopia in this model (3347-02), has fixed antenna and therefore can not be removed and put another higher gain antenna, I recommend the configuration of Netopia you give a maximum range to the WIFI signal is the last option ... I hope my comment is useful, greetings ...

All else being equal between the two antennas, the physically longer of the two would radiate the signal better. A well matched antenna of the largest physical size reasonable for the installation will always be best.
