Is the antenna detachable, and can it be replaced with another SMA antenna?

Yes, the antenna can unscrewed and will connect with any SMA female type adapter.
594879
Yes the antenna is detachable. In fact, I have one of those D-Link long range antennas that I attached to this. However, I did not realize any performance improvements. I am also not all that familiar with antennas either to even know if changing the antenna would provide any type of benefit. There is also a configuration in the wireless options where you set your antenna gain. Nonetheless, physically you can unscrew the existing one and put in a different antenna.

The antenna is detachable and I think it can be replaced with another SMA antenna; the connector is SMA like however I really didn't test it so I can't be 100% shure but I would say it is likely.

Yes. The Picostation comes with an SMA detachable 6 dBi antenna. You can either replace this with 9dBi or higher antenna or you can use a standalone amplifier like this:Premiertek Powerlink Ampules 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Signal Booster (PL-2301A)I simply found that in order to push the signal strong enough to get through the aluminum siding on a couple of the buildings and the brick and concrete walls on the other, I had to max out the amplifier in the actual Pico.These are not bad for the price but if you have aluminum siding or brick, you are going to need more power than what these come with.

Yes, the antenna is detachable (it unscrews). I don't know the format (SMA, reverse polarity SMA, etc).
594883
Hi, Yes, the antenna is replaceable, just unscrews. I feel the factory 6" antenna has acceptable gain, but I guess this is personal preference.Bob

Google up "SMA Jack" and "SMA Plug" images. The Antenna is SMA Plug.....(SMA-P is for plug -Jack). Either get a SMA gender changer to use the antenna or search for alternate claiming either SMA-F or SMA Jack...same sex connector different names. Maybe the RH951S SMA Female High Gain Tri-band antenna will work

The antenna is fixed and cannot be changed. You might be able to add a connector if you have good soldering skills, but I have not opened mine to confirm. It works fine for me and has good coverage.

This has an male sma connector. I bought it and a buffalo airstation router (with removable antennas with sma connectors) and replaced one (which one matters) of the antennas from the router with this antenna. I put the airstation in AP mode which allowed me to create my home network at the campground and this antenna, pointed to the direction of the nearest free wifi signal, allowed me to pick up that network. By themselves my laptops and phones and iPads could not get signal from this distant network. However, the free network had a splash page that the router wouldn't forward. I used my iPad, close to the free network, to log in. I then set the router to spoof that MAC. Good luck This has an male sma connector.

No!! you cant replace it , But you can join extension coaxial cable to make it longer..

yes its detachable. I have always used the antenna that came with it and haven't had any problems with reception.

SMA vs RP-SMA is a male/female issue only according to Wikipedia. You can see exactly what the antenna connection looks like in this picture http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1696296660_6/Huawei-B593-Antenna.jpg

I just took my antenna base apart and found out that the connections are NOT soldered. they are just pressed or smash connected. so, you can change out the cable. be careful to align all the parts when you are rebuilding the base.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

as you may know their are two parts to that wire, the new antenna comes with a lead out of it and you can get a termination kit to fasten the coaxial again, as far as it pulling out all the way out of the antenna, I'm not sure.

The rod can be unscrewed from the base - so you could leave the base in place as long as you have some way to tighten the rod when you want to put it back on. Theoretically you could also remove the top part of the antenna using the supplied hex key to separate it into two parts, but you would need to be very careful to mark (maybe with electrical tape) exactly how far to insert the top part when re-installing so that you don't detune the antenna. I would not recommend it though as the hex screw used to attach the two parts feels a bit soft and may be damaged by repeated removal and reassembly.

Unsure. If I remember correctly, it arrived assembled and I don't recall disassembling it. I would never put an antenna in an attic because of the gain loss, though I suppose if the broadcast towers were nearby it might still work.

The antenna jack is MCX and it's magnetic mount. Not a very good antenna though. Highly recommend an upgrade.

Yes, the antenna is, in fact, detachable. It is a standard male/female system that is very solid without overtightening. I picked up some Galati Gear Molle Radio Pouches here on Amazon. They are the best, in my opinion and the molle system works well with my gear.

A good replacement for belt use is the Baofeng brand dual band antenna with SMA-F connector from Amazon for $5.98 is a good deal.
