Review on πŸ“‘ 2m/6' WiFi Antenna Extension Cable, RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA Female - Original Version by Devin Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works, but introduces some damping.

The cables work fine, but be aware that even at 2m, enough attenuation has been added to significantly impact my Wi-Fi speed. I bought it because my computer is in the basement and my external WiFi antenna is stretched to the limit to reach the next shelf. I just wanted to introduce some leeway. However, I was frustrated enough with the effects of speed to remove it after testing. Now I don't have the proper testing tools (I'm sure I could download a utility but I didn't want to) so I don't have the actual signal strengths. However, I ran a series of wired and wireless speed tests, and consistent results showed a decrease in Wi-Fi speed of around 25%. Of course, if you need these cables to get any signal, even a reduced signal is worth it, but if like me you're just hoping for a slightly better position for your antenna, the extra attenuation might not be worth it.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
