Utility of 10 dBi wireless wifi antenna

[kg11sgbg]

Do you mean you want to replace the antenna on this usb wireless adapter with your 10dbi one?

Yes,Friend.
But after that,is it possible to connect to the Laptop or Tablet by wifi connection,using this setup?

It should work but using a higher gain antenna mainly as a receiver(usb wifi) instead of using as a transmitter(wifi router) is a waste of its capability.

I got you and understood the principle...
Shall be buying a modem+ router.

[MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION], I have attached the 10dBi high gain wireless antenna to my TP-Link TG-W8951ND 150 Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem /Router,and keeping aside the 5dBi antenna that came with the product.
Everything is functioning good.

Now, I had purchased a Netis WF2119S Wireless N USB Adapter 150Mbps Transfer Speed DBi Detachable,which is having a 5dBi detachable antenna.
If I use this Netis antenna with my Laptop(DELL Inspiron 14 5447),will there be any issues as the two antennas are different in model,make & strength?
The transmitter being the high gain 10dBi antenna,and the receiver being the low gain 5dBi antenna.

In that case do I need to disable the onboard(inbuilt) wifi module of the Laptop,if I use the Netis one?
Please Help,friend, as I am bewildered.

laptop usually works as receiver & high dbi antennas are more suited as transmitters,attaching more powerful antenna to laptop shouldn't make much difference as its working as receiver but try for yourself.

Actually what I mean is,the Netis 5dBi antenna is to be attached to the Laptop as a receiver.
The Comfast 10dBi high gain antenna is already attached to my TP-Link TG-W8951ND 150 Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem/Router as a transmitter.

Will there be any issues between 5dBi receiver <----> 10dBi transmitter setup???
That was my query.

 

[whitestar_999]

no.different antennas only matter when used with same device.

Thank you friend.
I received my Netis 5 dBi antenna from ebay,through DTDC just now at office.DTDC really made a 2 day delivery from the seller at PUNE.
Rock on DTDC.
Again I thank you friend for the assurance.
Shall let you know if any issue arises.

doesn't seem like a feature one would use in such setups so i suggest skipping it.you can later try windows update to see if it can find driver for this cisco eap-fast.
