The easy-to-install outdoor Yagi antenna is an excellent choice for extending a wireless network between two buildings. The 16dBi gain allows for wireless coverage of up to 0.8 miles with a clear line of sight. The sturdy steel construction can tolerate harsh environments and the simple mounting system can be easily adjusted for optimum signal strength. Includes mounting hardware for attachment to a pole. Requires antenna cable with N male connector.

Excellent but requires very careful location and orientation . The first time we put this up, we only got about a 20% improvement in the signal. After moving it around and using the included software with our wireless card, (MSI) we were able to find a perfect location that gave almost 98% signal (up from 50%) and excellent S/n ratio. Move it a few inches one way or the other and it drops by 20%. Move the angle by 5degrees and it drops 20%. So if it's perfectly aligned, you can get a big boost in signal. For us, that means 15' high aimed directly at the repeater antenna (hawkings corner antenna.) This was at a distance of 100' from the repeater and about 150' from the main router (wireless g, not tried it with n yet) thru 2 buildings (main router and repeater in one building (stick built) and this antenna in a metal warehouse.) I want to try to aim it directly at the main router instead of the repeater but there is no way to aim it. It has to be mounted flat against a wall. The only way to aim it would be mounted it on a pole, but it didn't come with pole mounting hardware and that only addresses left/right, not up/down. However, I have an idea for that and will update this review when it's done.
Bandwidth test went from 400-700Kbs to 2-4Mbs. While not very good for a 100Mbs network, considering it's going thru 2 buildings and a repeater, and it was a 5-10 times increase in BW, we are very happy.
(Note: This is an outdoor rated antenna, but so far we are using it indoors going thru the building walls instead of mounting it outside.)
