Title: attaching a 15 dBi antenna and amplifier - H/W. B1 F/W 2.00NA
Post by: czaru on July 06, 2009, 03:10:43 PM

  Hi there, i just received a few days ago the new router DIR-825 with H/W. B1 F/W 2.00NA,
 i opened to verify inside if both antennas are powered and yes they are!

the point is that i`m trying to identify wich one of the
attached antennas is the one that operates on the "g and N" standar, the 2.4 Ghz frequency,
what i`m trying to do is to attach a Hawking antenna of 15 dBi`s that works on the 2.4 Ghz frequency.

 i`m afraid of connecting a 2.4Ghz antenna from an output of 5Ghz, does something happen to the antenna?

i wish also use an amplifier with a range of 1Watt to 3 Watts, the actual test of the Dir-825 with its antennas replaced with 2 D-Link 7 dBi`s are not giving me the full coverage of some rooms at 50 meters
of distance, some of the rooms  get a week signal and drops the conection easily.

 what solution would you suggest me to improve the strength of the signal?

 thanks to all for your answers!
 by the way i`m writing from "Los Cabos" Baja California Sur, México.

 Saludos.

Try this easy to make antenna reflector to focus the 360 degree omnidirectional that is standard toward the users.  Makes a major difference - watch the signal on netstumbler to adjust it.
