can adapt a 15dBi Yagi wifi for better signal gain?

yes you can. I did it myself, Also used a dish directional and a 18dbi omnidirectional. works perfect and i was able to get my home wifi from 2 miles away.

I agree with E. Baker's analysis - The cable connector will not overcome the 15' limitation for optimum signal strength.

Well to be honest i dont know much about Asus WL-ANT-157, but with these antenna boost my signal from 2 bars to almost full bar, and speed was increase, the higher dbi is, the better signal it gets..

The antenna has gain in the WiFi band (2.4GHz), but it's a 75 ohm antenna. Most every WiFi devices uses 50 ohm external antennas. Get the 50 Ohm variant of this antenna.Alternatively, find a cheaper 2.4GHz only yagi antenna from another vendor. It will have better gain for WiFi than this "wide band" antenna.

the signal is good in 15 feet.but the sound quality is best when kept very close to the device

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

Yes. I used that exact combo. One on my wifi card, and one on my router. I was able to get a 5-bar signal at 150 meters! I imagine with a clear line of sight you could get at least 250 meters.

(see this same question in wired to wireless) Has anyone had success with AE boosting a wimpy wireless hotel signal to a stronger one to use wirelessly within the hotel room?

My TV has signal strength measuring ability. I measured the before and after signal strength and there was no change so I sent it back. I have an omnidirectional antena in the attic with a 16db preamp that doesn't work very good. I'm thinking of getting a very large yagi array in the attic with a 300 to 75 ohm matching transformer. I saw one at an electronic shop in town.

I have a couple sites where I used two units to get coverage for the entire floor. As long as you use the same SSID and password for the APs, you should have a hard time with going between the one with stronger signal.

I have used it on my Clear Wireless express hub modem but it is not really optimized for the 2.5GHz that is used on the WiMax signals. I was able to get a 3-4 bar signal when i would only get one bar, so it was usable. When I moved into a area where the signal was strong (4 bars and above), it did not drop below 5 bars with this antenna on.

No built in wifi on this board.I recommend one of these: Etekcity® High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual 6 dbi Antenna and two extra 10 dbi Antenna. Not only does it have strong gain due to the large antenna's, since it is external you can move it around to find even a better signal.

I live in the country as well I have my antenna 15' high. Also have a booster that has an fm trap on it. It supposedly keep the radio signals from interfering. They are not expensive and made a big difference in my case anyway.

The previous answer was perfect. I would only add that, if the available wireless connection uses the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band provided by the Belkin device probably would improve the connection quality.

I purchased one of these and after 2 weeks of striving with it , I sent it back. I was at Costco and saw a wi-fi signal booster that you just plug into the wall which would help with this issue;Called "amped signal booster"Item #629754 This brand 9Amped) is also available at Amazon and is the way I am going to go.I would avoid the YWA-10! Best regards.

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

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.
