He did show how to point it for this particular model. But I wish he showed in the video why he was correctly orienting it, instead of just taking his word for it. But admittedly, directional antennas can be very sensitive to orientation, and the way he was pointing it using his hand and without any line of sight tool such as a laser pointer does not inspire confidence.
so how was the performance of this yagi antenna? did it meet your expectations? how far did you get signals from? does it work with any alfa adapter or just the ac one?
I used to have one set up in my old apartment's deck when I was younger, and I would crack WEP passwords and use any one of about a dozen other people's wifi for free :)
I want to connect to a friend's wifi network 300 meters from my house and I have one of these ... the only thing I don't know is what kind of repeater router I could use with this antenna. Do you know any?
Bought these antennas. Even with a direct line of sight didnt seem to do any better than the omni that came with my router. Anyone have any success with these? Video claims his friend could communicate 3 blocks away.
This 7 minutes video is pretty useless without any details. Here's my experience: Asus RT-AC66U router, 30ft coaxial cable, and 2 of these Ebay antenna. I used the 30ft cable to bring these antennas out to my sidewalk placed them on a 6ft ladder. On my Samsung phone with Wifi Signal Strength Meter App combined with a clear path at 420ft I was still able to use 50% signal strength. My home internet speed is 100mbps, at 50% signal speed was 700kbps. Overall I would say these antenna works.
No. Yagi is directional. It has about 13db gain in a 6” (example) cone....you should put your router at one end of the house and get the booster reflectors like people use on their dji phantom controllers
i want to connect my home internet with my cameras in my vinery . range from my house to vinery is 1000m = 1km . can i use this router for it? in vinery is not electricity grid power
If it's more or less a clear line if sight, I would say 1000m is very possible. Problem is, these application are specific to the features of your location...trees, building in the way, lots of metal interfere...
You clearly do not know anything about antenna theory. The cross elements are tuned to the wavelength and each one is a multiple at the same frequency.
@@kmalerts he didn't say that it was relatively better, he said the boom thickness is too thick relative to the element lengths, this can have an adverse affect on antenna performance. www.qsl.net/yu1aw/Misc/boom_yagi.pdf
Not that i care it's your laptop,but you should have it on a firm surface,not something like that soft plushy whatever it is,because air flow will be bad,and it will overheat.
2.4GHz would be better because it travels further than 5GHz using the same amount of RF power. 5GHz is better for short distances and the best option for speed. Further away, the speed benefit won’t help because of how poor the connection will be. It will be too busy trying to find a signal before it can show any performance.

You never really show any objective measurements! Yagi Uda antennas and helical wound antennas on the frequency (2.4GHz) should have a gain of at least 10-15dBi. You should monitor the AP wireless output to know and report your gains on the receiver AP to give proper data.
Don't listen to this guy, those antennas are made wrong and actually "shorted" in how they are so long range is impossible with them. Some might luck up, get one the manufacturer made wrong that works and it give a boost 9f a few db but never 14 dbi. Most will see no gain only a loss. Don't trust windows wifi signal !eter, two parts to a signal which is signal then health or noise affecting such. Dirty signals can be strong but loss packet rate enormous. He could have stuck with the wifi dongle and been just fine with his setup. Alfas are excellent wifi cards just not the awus1900, it sucks.
Complete waste of time. DID IT WORK???? if so specifically how well did it work? useless review if you dont evaluate performance improvement over existing.
Wrong and very bad designed antenna! All Directors are same size which is wrong, same distance between them, wrong reflector size, all elements diameter . Feeder point also is badly make. I dont see anything correct in it. Got same btw! If see some boost it's mostly coz you got longer boom. In fact is acting as a Omnidirectional/rod antenna, not as a real Yagi.
Let me save you 6 minutes of wasting time: he talks about nothing and shows nothing.

It’s actually a transceiver on both sides, just to be correct, both sides transmit and receive.
so how was the performance of this yagi antenna? did it meet your expectations? how far did you get signals from? does it work with any alfa adapter or just the ac one?
People that dont demonstrate the very thing they are talking about, Classic youtube.

same but i do it now !
And then talk about it on clearnet posts where your ip is logged... smart.
@@Miles-co5xm ppl still using WEP? 😳
@@HalkerVeil oh no!
How do you get the passwords?
Yeah I was also wondering why he didn’t talk one less minute about the antenna and use that time to show his signal results...
for better performance replace the dipole with another with dimensions 58 mm (length) X 34 mm (height)
Hello!!! Wow, Thank you very much please continue your tutorials smile smile
Did it work for you or not?
I want to ask you.. that! Is it we use only one antenna or we need to you use both side .. one host and second receiver..?
You can use one or two. But make sure when using 1 antenna u use the slot for receiver that is the right side when your facing the back of your modem.

That’s a dumb answer, sorry to say. Both of the existing antennas on the router or Omni directional and transmit and receive.

OP would love Helium mining with his antennas proficiency
my router has low WIFI range for the size of my house can I use this to basically increase the signal strength?
No. Yagi is directional. It has about 13db gain in a 6” (example) cone....you should put your router at one end of the house and get the booster reflectors like people use on their dji phantom controllers

@@PoolarityChannel is this catch 200meter signal ?
Get your thoughts together before turning on the camera.
The boom seem too thick relative to the elements length. This can effect the performance of the antenna.
Then how it is relatively better?
You clearly do not know anything about antenna theory. The cross elements are tuned to the wavelength and each one is a multiple at the same frequency.

Will this connect directly to my router? And how could I use it outside?
will this work work with certain adaptors
Sir what software do you use to test signal quality? Thanks!
it's called Acrylic wifi...but our dickhead uploader here forgot to mention it's name or didn't care in the first place

I have a question
2.4ghz Yagi or 5ghz which is better
And the difference?

Buy tp link usb adapter with antenna
TP-Link TL-WN722N
@@L3NN0XXand then connect the antenna to the tp-link WiFi adapter?
lol
It looks like you're at my moms house.
This guy is clueless.
He’s young, take it easy.
Don't remove antennas while the transceiver is powered, you risk blowing the outputs in the transmitter side!
who said?
@@network7598 its common knowledge! Running a transmitter without an antenna will kill it.
@@stevefox3763 true... He knows what is saying
@@stevefox3763 only for high power transmitters, the low power of wifi and the consumer grade "idiot proofing" wont bother it.
@@Sugarsail1 thats not true, much of the hear out there has no SWR protection and will burn itself out.
no demonstration from the pc in signal strength.
can we just connect this to a router?
Arigato !!!

How do receive WiFi signal
What’s the software?
Please can u help me please send this yagi antanna diagram thanks
Cool
Wats the software
good vid man

is this 4g antenna?

NOTHING WILL HELP IF IS SIGNAL IS WEAK
