F18919W can I get an antennae with more gain

Yes they have a 9db antennae that may get you some extra range. Not sure if they a bigger one. I did not see one on there web site.

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

You will get better reception. Mine is working fine in the middle of the room. You can also buy more cable to get it closer to a window.

I had a friend who was a EE who said that antennas are mostly magic and I have little to add to that. Might work, might not, might work better.

Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

To get effective gain, it needs to have a ground plane to mount on. That a large sheet of metal. If your in a moble home and it has a metal roof, that would work. If its FM and the stations are in the same direction, I look at some house FM Antenna. For AM see what the amature radio info, it might be a long wire strung and how to put an lighting arrestor.Hope that helps

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

This unit does not work without an antennae.But once you attach one,look out this thing has mad output at its lowest setting I am getting 44 db at 500 yds

i replaced one of my antennas on my wireless unit with this device.it puts out one hell of a signal.i was thinking of replacing the other antenna with another one but i would probably swamp the area.one watt covers a lot of area.i do see why it would not work.put it as high as you can and check it out with a wifi app in your cell phone.i cover a lot of area out side my place.i am glad that i bought it.take care.

Don't know, but the connection on the new antenna is 1/4-20 thread. These units did nothing for range enhancement.

You would most likely have a high SWR and a poor communication experience. An antenna matcher might help some, but only experimentation will tell!

I have used the antenna as supplied and a "better" one. The hardware expects to see the signal coming from the little line amplifier that is supplied with it. Upgrading to a "better" antenna will be successful only if that line amplifier is left in place and the replacement antenna is routed through it. With the antenna supplied with the AVerTV system, I could pick up all but one of the local stations plus those from 50 miles away. With the upgrade, I could pick up the missing local channel that was blocked by the high-rise building in which I was living. Try out the "blade" antennas such as the LEAF that can be hung on the wall, placed in a window frame,

If you want to boost the signal in one direction make your own antenna booster using the Windsurfer template its easy to build. http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/

I would look for a Terk indoor antennae. I bought one and helped a great bit. I think you will have tosplice the wires.

sorry to tell you this doesn't increase your strength. All this antena does is widen the range of the signal you have. To increase the strength you might want to try a wifi booster. hope this helps.

Check out the review with the 3 star rating By Bee. After the review, the manufacturer responded and recommended improving reception using a different internal and external antenna. I believe the external antenna they referenced is their Yagi direction antenna. They even provide a link to the directional antenna with a female connector, which is on Amazon too.

Yes this will help you get more channels. But you should make sure you have the properly sized antenna and that it is pointed in the proper direction, since most modern antennas are directional ( Try www.antennaweb.org to find direction and size of antenna for your location.) We have had this model of pre-amp for ~ 8 months now and it has performed well.
