Can i use these TP-Link antenna with my CISCO Linksys EA6900? Does this antenna really help with the signal issue??

If you can remove (unscrew) the ones you have then yes they should fit. And they will give you a stronger signal.

They should fit. They screw on. Take the old ones off. If its threaded then yes. I do believe it made a difference, I have a 3 story house and now it covers all three floors. Wouldn't do that before. These are pretty big antennas though!

Hi, Albert. The Linksys Universal Media Connector has a standardized 802.11 connection so it should be compatible, but it is also best to consult TP Link for an assurance.

I suggest you contact Linksys and ask them what kind of connector your router has, if it doesn't tell you in the manual. I got lucky when I ordered this antenna; I ordered it hoping it would fit and it actually did. The price is not a major factor and it looks like from the reviews that Amazon will refund your money if it doesn't work out!

I pretty sure these should work on most any router and should work with out needing any additional software that way.Not sure if you'll get any signal boost that way though as the Alpha signal booster is the key product. These are however a very good replacement antenna. Plus the best antenna for the booster that I have come across and used.The work better than the long 9dbi antenna that they also make which you would think would be better.Just a matter of aiming in the right direction. Hope this helps and good luck. :)

I tried to use it with Charter cable to connect to my router, it did not work. I was told it has to do with the signal frequency being different.

It depends on what you mean when you say the "signal gets shoddy." I was unable to connect except on one spot on my fourth floor (with the main connection on the second floor). There was only one spot where I could get almost-consistent signal quality on the fourth floor until I got the Netgear WN3000RP, which I placed in that "sweet spot." I still have the rare dropout and I mean rare. My advice? Unless your signal is just completely lousy, try it. You can always return it.

You can. But the antennas are for signal range improvement. No antennas means weak OR none WiFi signal, depends on the hardware of router. Some routers have internal antennas but this one has external... Then I supose you better not remove them.

I used it for a TP-Link router to increase the reception/transmission power. You might look up the specifications for the antenna to get a better idea for your usage.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

I had on and off trouble with my network extender before I bought this antenna and no such trouble since. My guess is it will sure help, if not solve your trouble altogether!

It depends on the router and the obstructions. Mine (TP-Link) has produced a signal of a couple of hundred feet. I don't know if it's consistant tho.

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

No. This antenna is omnidirectional, which means it radiates a 360 degree circle. That means the signal strength MUST get weaker as a squared function of the distance. It's an exponent. What that means is that a 10x increase in range, like from 100 feet to 1000 feet, means a 100x reduction of signal strength (it's 10 to squared, so 10x10, so 100). i.e. forget about 1000 feet. If you don't understand the math or science of it, take my word for it, I work in wireless telecom. No matter what, when you're talking about 1000 feet with wifi, you're going to want a "directional" antenna, which focuses the signal towards your camera. Look for the words "directional", "yagi", or "patch". These types of antennas, when correctly aligned, and free of obstructions, can greatly improve range. However, be advised that with 1000 feet, you probably will want to put a directional antenna on the camera, too. When you get a connection, how many frames per second do you want, and how responsive do you want the camera to be? If the signal is very weak, you'll have lots of drop-outs, very slow frame rate, and terrible PTZ response. A stronger signal offers much better video surveillance. As for the guy who advised using a different brand of camera...forget that advice. Most wifi radios, whether in cameras or routers, must obey the FCC rules about maximum signal output power, so a different camera won't save the day. It's not dependent on the camera brand, it's dependent on the laws of physics and radio propagation. Camera brand differences will only make a small change for better or for worse. Now, cameras with directional antennas, that will help. That guy IS right about the range extenders, but you may find it easier to get two directional antennas.

Since the Encore specs indicate that the decibel isotropic reference(dBi) for the antenna are only +2, these might be overkill.... In addition, I am assuming the connection on the router for the antenna accepts the screw on connector....http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworkhardware/a/introduction-to-wifi-wireless-antennas.htm

Look at the documentation for your specific router and see what it says it will support. If your router doesnt support certain speeds then this antenna wont work at its full capacity so it wouldnt even be worth buying. Check your router documentation and go from there

I purchased the Cisco Linksys WET610N with has a 5.0ghz channel as well as the 2.4. So far it works perfectly and using the CD was a snap to set up.Linda

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