Maximizing Wi-Fi Range: Testing a 400M Antenna Setup with 3D Printed Technology!

🔥 In today's exciting episode, we push the boundaries of Wi-Fi connectivity! Join me as I venture out to the suburbs for a real-world test of a powerful antenna setup. 🌐
📡 What's Inside:
The Setup: I demonstrate setting up the antenna at a remote location, using the RX50 with a battery and the MOO 417 from Pointing Antennas to establish a base station.
Distance Challenge: Witness as I test the antenna's capabilities across an impressive distance of approximately 420 meters.
Real-Time Results: Watch the live strength of the signal, and stay tuned for a revealing speed test showing a download speed of 121 Mbps and an upload speed of 98 Mbps!
Antenna vs. Laptop Wi-Fi: Discover the significant difference in performance between the external antenna and the laptop's built-in Wi-Fi.
3D Printed Antenna Insights: I explore the potential and versatility of 3D printed antennas, highlighting their applications in drone technologies and more.
💡 Key Highlights:
Detailed setup process and equipment used.
Comparison between external antenna and standard laptop Wi-Fi.
Exploration of 3D printed antenna technology.
🌟 Conclusion:
This experiment demonstrates the impressive range and efficiency of our antenna setup. With a significant improvement over standard Wi-Fi capabilities, the potential applications for this technology are vast and exciting.

This is impressive
What I couldn't understand is, are these antennas purely directional to achieve the distance?

Thanks for the initial remark.
Yes, the only aspect of the link I focus on is the antenna performance.
The antenna gain is a passive contributor, and helps in both the uplink and downlink of the chain. I do realise that I'm testing the limits of legal compliance when we consider the transmit powers, but in a proper system design (not my crude PC setup) one could then drop the Tx power so the limit remains within the local (wherever that is) limits...but despite having perhaps dropped the transmit power, the receive chain still has a higher gain antenna and will perform better.
So, even if a higher gain antenna means dropping the power, that's only one drawback where there are many more advantages to explore...and that's the journey I'm taking with this antenna.

what about 3D metaline antenna by Huawei in latest Matebook X Pro , any review/comparing with normal antenna

[@GregMcCall]

Actually you are not exactly comparing antennas. You would be better comparing the 3D antenna with a standard antenna. Either what came with the USB device or if it didn’t have one, then some stock off the shelf antenna one might get with that device. In that way, the performance of the wifi radio components do not impact on the test.

Greg, I 100% agree. The intention with this video was to proof to myself the antenna works, but also to get something on UA-cam that I can refer to when I present my Kickstarter.com project later this summer (one of their criteria is to proof you have a working concept and not just a "pie in the sky" idea).
My plan is to build an outdoor VNA antenna test setup so I can specifically test antenna results without any modem, and the other plan I had was to test the actual range I can get with this antenna on a local beach.
