WiFi Antenna Signal Pattern & Design - Omni-Directional & Directional Antenna Basics

The difference between Directional WiFi Antennas and Omni-Directional Antennas explained. Different Wireless Internet Antennas have specific uses and this basics tutorial helps you choose the right one for your application.

Routers have multiple antennas to have more distance coverage. Some routers that have MIMO capabilties will transmit and receive through each one and depends on the make. These are usually expensive but the average router is transmitting signal through both.

Hope this helped. Remember we are here to help via email, chat or phone!

Hi, loves these videos! I am very curios about building an omnidirectional antenna and connect my wifi. Wich is the best and how much ground does it cover? Thanks!

Hey great vid.
I am trying to receive a wifi signal from about 70 meters away from my home. there are trees in the way, and I do not have a clear line of sight from my living room. if I go the directional yagi, would it still be able to receive a signal through my living room wall, trees, and the walls of the building?

Thanks this video helped clarify things. I'm looking for a way to setup a connection for a customer to his garage from his house which is about 50-100ft and they don't want a direct burial run.

Dual band is an antenna that can transmit on two frequencies ie 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz

Great Vid. If I wanted to park in the back of a mcdonalds restaurant, and wanted a antenna to be permanently installed on a mid size pickup, what would you recommend?

Can directional antenna's send and receive signals or just send signals?

[denissmith]

I have two questions:
1. How does the wifi system work? I mean is there any signal emitted from antenna to reach the sender? Or the signal sender can only work on its coverage area ?

2. Is the signal blocked by buildings, trees ... is there any chance that the antenna works without being directly aimed at the source. I mean for eg. if in the house behind walls ...

Thanks.

when using omnidirectional antena for hotspot what happen when you are below the antenna? do you get signal?

[hamzaafzal]

can we connect the mobile devices and laptops far away 1 mile ?

[johnabruzzi]

what kind of wifi antenna do you suggest for 6th floor building?

[ONEWS]

Sir pls which omnidirectional antenna can reach upto 5 km

[hdreviews]

how many feet can a average(not expensive) omni directional antenna get?

[TheMalucius]

can i connect this anntena to usb wireless adapter to get more wifi signals

[MrTharus]

just want to ask whats better a 11 dbi omni or 24dBi Parabolic Grid Dish for wifi pentesting any suggestion ?? i liked 24 dbi grid dish but it only covers 7 degree ....i want a high dbi device with little better coverage ...
