Review on Tupavco TP542 Dual-Band Outdoor Directional Panel Antenna: Boost WiFi πŸ“‘ Signal Strength with this Weatherproof High-Gain (13dBi) Long-Range Wireless Network Solution by David Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The signal is lower than the factory Omni

25 year old IT technician. I tried using them at a network node to boost the signal in a pool 150 feet away from indoor antennas. Using a good quality Trend Net network cable, I tried this antenna both window mounted and laser aligned and outdoor mounted and laser aligned. The signal dropped in some areas around the house due to the loss of Omni and speed was generally no better in the pool and was much more isolated. Feedback on how I tried it and contacted the company to see what they can do to get me to remove the feedback. One person offered a refund, another a replacement, and a third another replacement. I asked to try out their omni exterior. Then they played dumb. So I changed it from 2 to 1 star. Don't buy this, find a better alternative.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • not sure
