Review on πŸ“Ά Ziyituod External WiFi Antenna 6dBi | Dual Frequency 2.4G / 5.8G | Magnetic Base with RP-SMA Adapter | Extension Cable 2m | Compatible for WiFi Camera & PCIe WiFi Card (ZYT-6dBi) by Rich Rickenbaugh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Long cable and magnetic base provide placement flexibility

This external antenna solved my WiFi signal strength issues. I recently added a WiFi 6 card to my desktop PC, but I didn't have the best connection because the antennas were only pointing towards the back of the PC, allowing nearby cables and the PC case itself to block the signal. This antenna's universal base and long cable allowed me to position it higher and further away from my computer for better WiFi reception. The antenna cable features RP-SMA connectors, which are the de facto standard for WiFi. Of course, it's always best to check that this fits your hardware, but this should work for most WiFi cards (and routers) with detachable antennas. A 6.5ft cable is more than enough, and each antenna rod can be rotated and tilted as needed. The base of the antenna offers several mounting options. The lower part is covered with felt, so you can just put the antenna on the table. There is also a nice and strong magnet inside so you can attach the antenna to a metal surface like the side of your PC. Finally, you can use two slots to hang the antenna on a wall or other vertical surface. All in all, this antenna is a great way to improve the connectivity of your existing Wi-Fi device (if it already has external detachable antennas). The base is beautifully designed with flexible mounting options and a long cable that makes it easy to position the antenna where it is most effective.

Pros
  • Network antennas
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
