Product Description
Linksys High Gain Antenna Kit for TNC Connectors - Increase the range of your Wireless network! Attach these high gain antennas to your Linksys Wireless Broadband Router or Access Point, and increase both the effective strength of the outgoing signals, and the receive sensitivity for incoming signals.The added signal strength and sensitivity also improves close-range communication reliability because every packet comes through "loud and clear", reducing retransmissions due to weak signal reception errors.To install, just unscrew your current antennas, and attach the High Gain antennas in their place. There are no drivers to install, and no modifications to your setup are necessary.The Linksys High Gain Antenna Kit saves wiring costs and helps to build corporate wireless infrastructure by driving stronger signals into distant corners and hard-to-reach areas. And it's perfect for covering large areas in warehouse environments, public spaces, wireless hotspots, and outdoor venues -- anywhere you need extra coverage for your wireless network.

Product Review Summary: Turn The Router on it's side. I bought the antennas to improve reception as did many other people leaving reviews in here. However, while I have a Linksys Wireless 54G upstairs where my desktops are, my desktops are connected by cable to the router. The wireless is for connecting Notebook computers and the X-Box which are downstairs. When you are not connecting room to room on the same floor, but between floors (as I am) you have to box clever. You have to understand that the radiation pattern of a vertical monopole antenna is shaped like a doughnut radiating away from the vertical monopole orthogonally along a horizontal plane. There is very little power radiating straight up from the tip of the monopole and essentially zero power radiated down. Initially I simply turned the router on it's side and resolved most of the reception problems I had downstairs. With the monopole antennas oriented horizontally, then the radiation pattern is circular in the vertical plane. Notebooks computers connected really well and never drop out. The X-Box, which has a rather anemic WiFi attachment, would still occasionally drop out. With the new antennas the X-Box is now fine (but only so long as the router is on it's side).

Product Review Summary: Doesn"t work as advertised What's all the hype with this antenna? I have a WRT54GL and did not want to install a third party firmware to help with the distance that my signal was reaching on my property. The router was in my house, in the living room, with no foil insulation and I could not get online with my ipod touch outside my front door. I could step inside and be online. This was on the same level as the router. I bought this antenna after reading some of the reviews, believing that it would help. I bought the one with the brace to hold the antennas vertical and parallel. After installing, I did the test. I took my Ipod and stepped outside my front door. I still could not get online. No signal. The antenas did nothing at all. I had thrown my money away. I took the antenas off and researched Tomato firmware, installed it and followed the suggested settings, and I can not only step outside my front door and get online with my ipod touch but go nearly 100 feet to the other side of my property without losing my signal. Of course they say, "use this firmware at your own risk". I have been using it now for a week and am really pleased.
Product Review Summary: you must be kidding When I realized how little these do (zip) I expected to find a manufacturer label on them that reads "Fisher Price". I buy no linksys gear anymore. All junk in my experience. By D-Link stuff. Far better range and performance.
Product Review Summary: A modest improvement -- don't expect miracles I live in a not-huge NYC apartment with solid plaster walls. The new antennas extended the range of my Linksys cable modem by maybe 10-15 feet, enough to allow my PC -- but not my wife's Mac -- to get service in a corner room that had previously been out of reach. A modest improvement, but (barely) worth the modest price of a set of second-hand antennas.
Product Review Summary: Look cool, but do they really work? I can't say I've noticed a huge difference, but there is a slight difference.
Other than that they work and fit perfectly, but due to their heft, the router becomes a bit unbalanced.
If you load Tomato firmware or DD-WRT on your WRT54GL router (which this product is used with), then you can increase your radio transmit power.
That in conjunction with these antenna do have a noticeable difference in range and signal quality.
