Frequently Asked Questions for the 2.4GHz 5dBi antennas on this page:

1. What devices are compatible with this antenna?   This antenna is compatible with any device that uses a 2.4GHz frequency and has an RP-SMA connector.

2. Can this antenna be used outdoors?   The two antenna models on this page have a brass base that, if exposed to weather, would corrode over time.  We have very similar antennas that are weatherproof.

3. What is the range of this antenna?   The range can vary based on the environment, but typically it can cover up to several hundred meters in open spaces.

4. Is this antenna suitable for use with Bluetooth devices?  Yes, it can be used with Bluetooth devices that operate on the 2.4GHz frequency.

5. What is the best mount option for this antenna?  This L-mount bracket is an excellent, low-cost mount option for the straight version of this antenna.

6. What is the difference between the right-angle and straight connectors?  The right-angle connector is useful for tight spaces, while the straight connector is better for direct, unobstructed connections.

7. Is a signal booster required with this antenna?  No, a signal booster is not required, but it can enhance performance in low-signal areas.

8. Can this antenna be used with a router?  Yes, if the router has an RP-SMA connector and operates on the 2.4GHz band.

9. How do I install this antenna?  Screw the antenna into the RP-SMA connector on your device and position it for optimal signal reception.
