can I change out the antenna for better signal / more signal?

I used the supplied antenna and mounted it on a telescoping painters rolling pole up about 12ft. above my roof. I went from zero bars to 5 bars, including any other cell phone being used within our house. I'm very happy with the results and the Booster! I suppose you can install any antenna you wish, as long as it's compatible with the booster. Good luck!

Yeah you can switch the antenna if you want. The instructions said that if you are far away from a cell antenna you should use a directional antenna. Be careful though because if you are to close to the cell antenna it will overload the amp and shut it down.

I don't think so Wilson may have a better antenna but I think they are matched to the unit.

I ha to switch to a higher gain antenna here in southern Oklahoma work out well for me.

I see no reason to upgrade the antenna, I would imagine you could as the connector is a standard BNC.

Yes it can be done if you are handy and have good soldering equipment. You can contact Shakespeare for details. However, for the low cost of a new antenna, when you consider it might be needed to save your life, I would just buy a new one.

Yes you could but you would more than likely be better off installing an in line amplifier closet to the TV. This unit boost the signal from the antenna not the antennas gain ( ability to acquire signal). I would also suggest that you point your antenna to obtain max signal by going online and determining the best direction for your area.

No. The whole point of a patch antenna is to provide a directional signal. Changing this to use a directional antenna would negate much of the gains you get by using a device like this.

I don't belive you can put a bigger antenna on the monitor unless it is tuned specificaly to it

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.

I'm not sure if you can but I would guess the antenna is tuned to the receiver to puck up signal a different antenna might not work

This can be done. It is similar to the use I did. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the performance and I feel that it would work much better if I had placed it higher or outside. My desire was to get an HD channel and I found it not much better than the dipole I had previously used.

This is more a base-station type of antenna. I suggest you look into a mobile antenna which has some gain.

Yes, that's what I attach the signal booster to. It gives me more local HDTV channels.

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 ...

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

No it uses a different connector. It's not possible to use the antenna that way.

I'm guessing you're in a menu that allows you to select a source for your incoming signal. If so, it looks like it may be set to CABLE. You will want to switch or select ANTENNA.

I own two antennas; one for 2 years. It would either be the signal going to the antenna from the broadcasting center changed or a glitz with the tv and it needs reprogramed.

Youd probably not need it, but if you had to you could strip the ends of some wires and attach them to the metal hinge and it would expand the antenna to the rest of the wire, reception will depend on how big the wire is.
