Client, Router, Drone Antenna is a 7 dBi gain directional panel antenna that features an RP-SMA antenna connection.

It facilitates connections with USB wireless adapters on the Alfa Networks APs, routers, and Wi-Fi adapters and varying brands with RP-SMA ports; and various types of drones as well.

Installation is as simple as screwing the antenna directly into the RP-SMA port of your Wi-Fi adapter. No further setup or configuration is required.

Directional vs. Omni-directional antennas.

You may have noticed that similar antennas on the market are omnidirectional. This antenna is directional. It offers a number of important advantages. Omnidirectional antennas are intended to collect signals from several directions and are not designed to concentrate gain in one sole direction. These types of antennas are best used in mobile situations where you may not know exactly where your signal will be coming from. Directional antennas (such as this product), concentrate and direct gain from one direction in particular. Note that it is not necessary for antenna to have a clear line of sight from the signal. It only needs to be faced in an approximate direction of the signal.

While you will usually notice your best gain coming from the direction in which antenna is pointed, omnidirectional antennas may detect a greater number of signals coming from a variety of directions. However, directional antennas are better able to pick up and concentrate signals from a much greater distance - including signals that otherwise would have been completely missed by an omnidirectional antenna.
