Review on 📶 High-Gain Outdoor Yagi WiFi Antenna 2.4GHz (15dBi) with Long Distance Range, Directional Signal (H:30° V:25°), Weatherproof Design, Wireless Network Pole Mount, N-Female Pigtail Connector - Tupavco TP512 by Antonio Gonzalez

Features: Solid aluminum rods for the elements, folded dipole drive element with corresponding mesh for power. Some burrs on the ends of the element with no visible impact on performance. U-bolts with flat and slotted washers. V-Clamp with U-Brackets, fits a 1 1/4" mast (on the small side. Looks like it will easily fit a 1.5" mast. I use a rack in a Cabinet. Connection cable: 6" N jack for .Construction: Very strong, nothing wobbles, elements are well fastened, mounting bracket is solid all-aluminum construction additional 1000mW transmitter amplifier in a magnetic base for a 7dBi vertical antenna. For testing I have Here's what I've done: I measured several reference signal levels at a distance of 80 feet from the location of the wireless adapter for my DirecTV HD-DVR.. (30 feet down the corridor): Reference Level: -56 dBm 1. Power removed from amplifier 2. The 7 -dBi vertical antenna unscrewed from the base of the amplifier 3. The 6ft adapter cable from the new WIFI Yagi screwed into m magnetic base of the amplifier (replaces the vertical 7dBi antenna) 4. Reconnect the amplifier to the power supply 5. Set up the Yagi (vertica fully polarized) across the room and into the opening in the hallway. Went to the target and took a series of measurements with the new antenna. Since the amp was in line for testing, the only difference between the two setups is: 1. 6' extra feed to the new antenna (vertical had no feed, screwed directly into the magnet base)2. Results of the new WIFI Yagi antenna: Original 7dBi vertical antenna and amplifier: -56dBm WIFI Yagi 15dBi and amplifier: -42dBm WIFI Yagi signal level improvement: 14dB All else being equal, should the improvement (in an ideal, non-reflective environment) is 8 dB. However, since the floors are all tile and I'm filming down a long hallway and then into another open space, there are reflections everywhere. I placed the receiving antenna (inside the wireless adapter) so that my signal meter picks up the best signal strength. In other words, I "found a hotspot" and put it there. Conclusions: 1. The antenna definitely has gain, and I measured more gain than the datasheet due to reflections.2. The project was very successful as the small 22 inch antenna was able to transmit a high definition quality signal 80 feet through our home. directions. Using only vertical transmission and a repeater at the transmit end, I could SEND the video to the remote site, but I could not play the video FROM the remote site. Now I can do it both ways with no pixelation, judder. To connect the antenna to the amp I used the recommended 6.5 inch extension cable (for WIFI Yagi): TRENDnet Low Loss Reverse SMA Female to N-Type Male Shielded by Weatherproof Connection Cable. In general I am very satisfied. The construction was top notch, the price very low given the quality of the product, the RF performance exceeded my expectations and the project was a complete success, being able to transmit two-way HD video from one end of the house to the other. via a 2.4 GHz WiFi-N connection.
