Additional D-Link ANT24-0801 8.5dBi Pico Cell Patch Antenna Information
|
The D-Link ANT24-0801 is a high-gain omni-directional antenna suitable for building to building (point to point) solutions.T24-0801 provides 8.5dBi signal strength operating on 2.4,2.5 GHz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). This provides wider range of wireless coverage to reduce the cost of running standard cable lines.The ANT24-0801 is a convenient way to extended wireless coverage to an existing 802.11b wireless LAN network. The ANT24-0801 can be used with the D-Link DWL-900 Access Point or wireless routers such as the DI-714 or DI-713P. The ANT24-0801 is weatherproof and made of corrosion-resistant material to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The D-Link ANT24-0801 includes a swivel mount that allows pivotal adjustment for precise positioning for the most concentrated signal strength. The D-Link ANT24-0801 includes a Lightning Surge Protector and 1.6 feet of Extension cable.

What Customers Say About D-Link ANT24-0801 8.5dBi Pico Cell Patch Antenna:

Once the amplifier is installed the antenna works as rated. The loss in signal strength that you noticed is possibly due to losses in the conversion cable. This will be an additional expense of approximately $300.00, purchased from a 3rd party.
The Antenna is going to change the shape of the signal, and the direction. I do agree with you that does not seem to mention amplification in the product specs as you have pointed out. the problem with using an external antenna without an amp is the Router does not have enough power to push the signal through the extra media."I then asked as to where within their documentation does it state that an amplifier is required, I received the following:"The initial reply that you received that the router does not have a strong enough amplifier to push the signal to any great length is correct, unfortunately.
This antenna (and all D-Link high gain antennas) require an additional 1 watt inline amplifier in order to achieve the extended range as rated by D-Link. When I inquired from D-Link as to why I was no obtaining the range as rated, I received the following:"To boost output you will need to use an amplifier. I shall talk it to a supervisor and see if there can be some mention of extra amplification might be needed, to get best results for APs."
Without the amplifier the antenna(s) produce a signal at or below the standard antenna. No where within D-Link's information or installation instructions do they inform you of this requirement.
