Hello
I picked up a Amped Wireless High Power 1000mW Wi-Fi Signal Booster model SB1000.. and installed it on the middle ?? Antenna .. I got zero improvment..
Im mostly on 2.4ghz ..
Am i on the correct Antenna Spot ? .. hs anyone had any success ?
thanks !!!!
Matt
that is a very good tip .. and have disabled the 5ghz.. I guss Ill play with the powered Antenna and see what I get !
thanks
Not sure how it will work reviews are hit and miss. Make sure you disable your 5 ghz radio in the router UI or you will burn the 5 ghz radio out because of a major mismatch on the antenna. To my knowledge all three antennas broadcast both bands at the same time so there is no way to use 5 ghz with that amped antenna.
Hi,
Just keeping in mind constant rated power output vs. ERP. Two different thing. Any antenna can be connected as long as Z is closely matched yielding Good SWR minimizing wasted power as heat.
You won't burn anything out. The radio chip outputs same constant power no matter what antenna you use. It doesn't care how close or how far its from another WiFi device.
The only thing that will kill it, is heat from higher ambient temps or electrical spike in house wiring.
Msn50.
The larger antenna does not.guarantee better signal. People have used Asus large antennas with zero improvement.
That antenna is a mono band 2.4 ghz it can and will damage the 5 ghz radio. Maybe you don't know much about radio theory but as a ham radio license holder I know better.
Not same technology. And only antenna will burn out on ham vhf radio.

I moved the Antenna from centre to left and signal boasted significantly.. I was avg 68-70 .. this morning its between 80-83% have NO IDEA why it bosted over night..it maybe cause I changed channels last night to CHN 6..
Signal is 82%
Noise is 7%
SNR is 44db
pretty good I say..
I hear u on the heat thingy.. but keep in mind the Antenna and its amplifier is 30cms away from the Router.. not sure if powered amplification at the base of the antenna will cause heat issues..
lol i used a 2.4GHZ only antenna with 5GHz on 1 time (DOH!) luckily i only used 1/3
but everything is fine. if anything my 5GHz works better now then when i first got it.......
edit: lol and now i read that people already proved your post wrong... guess it doesnt matter and i am evidence!
Nobody said the antenna would burn out. Having a mono band antenna on a device that transmits 2 different freq's is a big no no. The 5Ghz band will see a huge increase in the standing wave ratio that will cause the 5 ghz radio to overheat and fail because the power will no longer be radiated into the air rather the power will be sent back to the radio and cause heat that heat will cause the final to fail. Ham radio or any radio thats how it works. If the OP had a duel band amped antenna then all would be ok thats the reason i recommended he disable the 5 ghz band if he plans to use the 2.4ghz mono band antenna.
I cant find any kind of info on these.
But heres what i did find. http://www.forums.ampedwireless.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=237
5ghz simply will not work. Nothing about killing 5ghz radio.
Nobody has proved me wrong because they can't simply because I am right. Second is you should not comment when you have NO clue what your talking about.
lolwut. u mad?
Correct it will not work and over a very short time the radios will fail. The transmitter must have a proper load and resistance to function efficiently. It's the same thing as turning your stereo volume up and having no speakers hooked up the audio outputs would over heat and fail. Anyway this has got enough off topic and I will say no more about it other then what I am stating is 100% true I would not come here and deliberately give bad information I know how radio transmitters and antennas work I have been doing almost my whole life. Have a nice day.
