What antenna can I replace the stock antenna to really extend the signal farther through concrete walls?

TP-LINK TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna, 802.11n/b/g, RP-SMA Female connector is a good choice

. you need to purchase a signal booster and the antenna. makes a ton off difference. look at part # 815126 booster # 859970 home kit and 301125 antenna.

I have a house built in 1959 and the walls are double plaster, wire, and lots of concrete block. I was hoping to improve signal strength compared to my newest generation Apple Airport Basestation Extreme. After installation, and several repositions, the RTA15 offered insignificant improvements and in the case of streaming in the back rooms, I lost that capability altogether. I even added a upgraded antenna to no avail. I returned the product and have gone back to my Basestation Extreme. I am going to rewire the home to place the Airport in a central location in the house to maximize the coverage. Hope that helps...

I doubt if a different antenna will increase range as this is limited primarily by transmitter power and the sending unit antenna is fixed. Perhaps a larger antenna on the receiver might help but I found that distance is primarily limited by obstructions, so if you can mount the receiver outside in line of sight to the sender you can experience maximal range. This antenna has a screw on coaxal type connector approx 1/4 inch diameter - the receiver has the male fitting.

Your best bet would be an outdoor antenna. I have this Leaf Plus and it performs very poorly when used in the 1st floor (picking up 1 channel but keeps losing signal) and doesn't work at all in the basement. On 2nd floor, it picks up 2 channels. I have much better luck with the Rosewill indoor/outdoor amplified antenna (which you can find at Newegg for 1/2 the price of the Leaf plus) which can pick up 6 channels. I mounted the antenna outdoor on a sidewall though (but not on the roof).

You can take item and router to Radio Shack and they will sale you an adapter. The booster antenna works great!!!!

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

You wouldn't replace the antenna internally, taking this radio apart. You are better off extending it fully and taking the little screw out of the pivot point by the base, taking care not to push it into the radio body thereby ruining your day and forcing a disassembly. At that point you can fit a taller antenna into the base, assuming the width of the spade is the same as the old one. However, if you put a longer antenna on you'll probably have some extending out of the body which is asking for trouble. My advice is leave it alone. If you must have more length just fashion a wire with an alligator clip at one end and clip it to the extended antenna. The stock antenna is fine for this unit.

At Radio Shack, for about $12-$13, I bought a wire antenna,and an adaptor to connect it to the back of the radio. You have to "fool" with it to get it in the right location, but it tremendously improves reception.

The Amplified version get better reception. It also allows you to place the antenna on an interior wall if desired.

You Need A 2.4 Signal Booster High Gain Antenna. The Antenna is Fitting The Receiver.

I use mind on a outdoor antenna, improved my signal by 10 times. It should work for you.

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.

Possibly... I used one on a security camera mounted about a hundred yards away, aimed at a bottom-tier DLink wireless router inside my house. I would think that a pair of the Keedox antennas aimed at each other should easily handle the distance. I guess the real question is just how much metal is in your concrete wall. If your wall is unreinforced concrete block construction, you probably won't have a problem. If the wall has a lot of reinforcing metal inside, there might not be any antenna that can help you.

Belkin may have an extension cable for yoir antenna, but I doubt it. The antenna cable ends in the special connector for your radio. This is an excellent antenna & I would try just holding it in my hand while observing the XM radio signal strength. Radio signals pass through normal home walls. I would check with Belkin as there are several types of connectors, depending on the radio brand used. Also, the longer the antenna wire the higher the impedence of the antenna. There is a jumper cable that may work, It is designed for the XM2GO receiver. Check out accessories for the Belkin XM2GO. ND John

not working for me, tried all kinds of combinations with my amped SR20000g (2 antennas also), did not extend signal at all, major bummer
