I am a tech geek. It's important you know that.Where I live, literally across the street is a MAJOR summer concert venue for our town. While it's great living downtown, it does mean that during major events Verizon's vaunted 4G/LTE network drops to its knees. I mean it becomes "1X," at best! And if you have a "smart phone," it can mean just getting a Facebook update can take 45 minutes! I kid you not. And the only alternative to Verizon's neutered network was to sit in the lobby of the apartment complex and use the landlord's Access Point. Ugh.. *pulls hair*It was at this impasse I decided to experiment with TP-Link's much-praised TL-WR1043ND wireless router. But I took it to the next level: I also ordered the three-meter "pigtail" cables and three 15dBi omnidirectional antennas (which I'm reviewing here).To make it brief, I was STUNNED. The pigtails have a 2.9dB "insertion loss." I didn't know what that meant when I ordered them (hey, we all gotta start somewhere), but it turns out I'm losing nearly HALF the transmit signal from the router in the coax before it even gets to the antenna! Again, this is NO FAULT of TP-Link: I was too ignorant at the time to understand what I was ordering. My boo-boo.Anyway, despite all of that; after re-flashing my WR1043ND with dd-wrt I wanted to see how far into the "concert venue" I could go with my Droid Razr Maxx and still connect to my "home wireless LAN" across the street. Turns out that, even with losing HALF the TX signal in the coax, using these antennas I could connect almost 1,000 feet away from the Access Point!! I was AMAZED.Anyway, to "cut to the chase," with what I've learned my next step is as follows: First, I'm going to "hardware mod" my 1043 router, replacing the RP-SMA connectors with N-females. And I'm going to use either LMR-400 or LMR-600 (which will fit inside the router's cabinet) to connect the N-female connectors with their respective soldier joints on the PC board. Next, I'm going to use LDF4-50A heliax cable to connect from the router to the antennas. Even with 20-feet of cable (as opposed to the nine-foot pigtails) my "insertion loss" will only be 0.8dB as opposed to 2.9dB. This means not only will most of my TX signal get out to the antennas, but most of the RX signal will make it from the antennas to the router. AND, with twenty feet of cable, I can separate the antennas at 15-foot increments (the most I can currently do) to maximize the MIMO ("Multiple Input, Multiple Output) design of the 1043 router.As it stands, right now, I am able to receive free Access Points that are one-half to one MILE away from where I live. For an omnidirectional, this antenna is AMAZING, and I cannot wait to report back what I can achieve once I have the LDF4-50A heliax and a 1043ND router customized to use N-female connectors.Stay tuned...P.S.: One more important thing for you to understand: Even though these are "omnidirectional," they are NOT "isotropic" meaning they do NOT propagate the signal in a three-dimensional spherical pattern. Ergo, while the signal does radiate in a 360-degree pattern, that pattern is perpendicular to the antenna. This is called the "horizontal propagation." The VERTICAL propagation is only 9 degrees, and which is why it achieves a 15dBi gain: Almost none of the signal is "wasted" going out above or below the antenna. You therefore have to keep this in mind when planning your layout so that the intended coverage area does indeed get covered.For example, let's say you mount this antenna on the side of a building or on a pole twenty feet above the ground. Recalling your junior-high trigonometry, a nine-degree vertical propagation means the signal won't hit the ground for a distance of about 126 feet from the antenna. Here's the math: Distance = height * (1 / tan(9)).Lesson: If you want to use this antenna to extend your wireless coverage to your backyard, it will certainly do the job -- but depending on the coverage area you may need to mount the antenna at an angle so that its horizontal propagation properly covers the area.

Currently use this antenna to make long distance links. Currently use a pair of EOC2611P with only one dish. Distance is about 3 miles. With no antenna the units would bearly connect in b mode, kept dropping packets and lots of interferance. Added one and got over double the signal able to maintain a g connection and cut out lots of the interferance.
