🔍 Amped WA12: High-Gain Wireless 12dBi Omni-Directional Wi-Fi Antenna Review

I wanted a new antenna for my router to improve WiFi coverage in my house. Specifically, the cable goes to the modem/router in the basement, but I want to use the WiFi upstairs. It's easy to install - just unscrew and screw in the old antenna. However, the Wi-Fi strength measured by the app on my tablet was only marginally better than the original. I've tried moving it and looking in different directions etc but nothing seems to change.

I bought this antenna to extend the range of an old Linksys router, but older models require you to buy an adapter to use it. I don't know why the adapter wasn't included as older routers need this product the most. This product will not work with newer models that come with built-in antennas. I also emailed the manufacturer and didn't even get an automated reply, hence another star deduction.

I've tried all sorts of things to "boost" the Wi-Fi signal, including several other antennas and some range extenders. I should have started with that, but I found it too easy. I was right about it being easy, but it's more efficient than anything I've tried. When I connected 2 of these to my Amped Wireless R20000G router, the 600mW Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N Dual Band Gigabit Router (R20000G), I FINALLY got the performance and range I was hoping for.

This little gem is very good. If you need extended range for your router, I would take one of these and plug it into your router's center antenna port. You need a router with a detachable external antenna. I have three of these and it works best when connected to a central terminal. It also helps to place the router at the highest point in the house. I replaced the external 8dbi antenna with this one and seem to be getting an even better signal around the house and yard. Good antenna at a very…

I have an Amped SR10000 power strip. When you set it up, the software will show you the available routers and their relative signal strength. The router I was interested in had a 67% rating. I removed the two antennas that came with the extension and attached the new antennas using the stand and coax cable. I restored the setting and this time the router I was interested in showed a signal strength of 59%. 8 percentage points less than the antennas supplied with the extension. I thought it…
