Scanner Martel Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hey all, I got the 9 dBi pole antenna from the hak shop and my question is whether i need to do anything other than substitute the new antenna on a device. Specifically do i need to set power options to optimize signal etc? The reason I ask is that i dont notice a significant increase in the area that I can observe traffic say with an external wireless card in monitor mode or something. Thanks, -SM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 No, should never really need to adjust the power settings, since that only changes the transmit power anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should get you started. http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Antennas/WiFi/ Any of the wireless books here won't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, -SM Did you have to use an adaptor to plug the antennas into anything, say a pineapple or the base that came with them? Because i just got two and they wont go into anything i try to plug them into. The end on the antennas dosent have threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
