Great product for unusual applications

As an introduction to this review; I have not used this product on a real router. I have a DJI drone, specifically a Mavic Air. If you own a drone, including DJI, you understand how frustrating it is sometimes to fly that bad boy and lose signal when it's deep within someone else's property . Just that "loss of signal" on my screen makes my blood boil just thinking about it. So, like any good tramp, I cast a wide net on how to get my drone's remote control to increase its range to keep my signal longer and better. If you have a drone, you know this is no easy task. What I found were $100+ "solutions" that were so over the top that I felt even more overwhelmed. I didn't need my drone to fly from coast to coast, and I certainly didn't want to spend the better part of two days arming and rewiring thousands of little dads in my poor remote control to fly my drone across state lines could. That's when I came across this product. Most routers or other devices that need to send/receive a wireless signal use these small IPEX cables that clip onto the main component board. And my DJI drone (and many drones these days) operate on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, so win win. The crappy little antenna that comes with the drone remotes has been removed and replaced with these (takes about 15 minutes). minutes and just a screwdriver for glasses or cell phone) and I'm back in the air again. Doesn't matter! I've increased the radius of my "strong" signal by about half and have been completely free of signal loss worries ever since. All of this for about $10. Can't beat it
