The High Gain 2.4 GHz Omni Antenna is an Omni antenna, which broadcasts it's signal in 360 degrees. Available in 4, 6, 8 dBi models.

These antennas feature an integral N-Female bulkhead type connector that mounts through the wall of an equipment enclosure. Included with these antennas is the mast mounting kit. Consisting of a heavy-duty steel bracket and a pair of U-bolts, this kit allows installation on masts up to 2.0" in diameter.

Utilize higher gain antennas. The factory-default antennas that come with an access point usually have low gain (around 2dB). If the access point has removable antennas, then replacing the default antennas with higher gain omni-directional or even directional patch antennas boosts range significantly. Most of these higher gain antennas effectively add 6dB or more to the system, which equates to a four fold increase in signal power. Even though that doesn't exactly multiple the range by four, it does make a big difference in range.

Remember, the higher the Gain of the Antenna, the narrower the beam. If you use an omni antenna that is too powerful, it will beam across a great distance without touching the ground.
