Antenna Operating Tips

Two High-Power Antennas are better than One:

To get the most out of your High Power Wireless Antenna, it is always recom- mended that you use multiple antennas (one on each side of your connection). High Power Wireless Antennas increase the transmit power of your wireless device by concentrating the wireless signal from your wireless device. In order to achieve optimal range, it is recommended that a high gain antenna is used on each end of your wireless connection. High Power Amped Wireless WiFi devices also help to increase the overall range of your wireless application. Amped Wireless High Power Wireless products include power amplifiers that boost both receiving and transmitting strength.

Antenna Positioning:

High Power Antennas have antenna gain levels that are much higher than standard wireless antennas. By concentrating the wireless signal, High Power Antennas modify the signal pattern of your wireless device. It is important that you under-stand the wireless output pattern of your High Power Antenna (right) so you may carefully position it to your desired output location. If you feel that you are not getting the wireless range and performance from the antenna, you may need to adjust the position of your antenna until the desired performance is achieved. Check the signal strength of your setup using the user interface of your WiFi device or through a 3rd party WiFi network analyzer software.
