mrgray Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Reasonably priced though, I need a stronger signal and was wondering what is the best out there that will work with the Mark IV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Anything that you can screw into a RP-SMA connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sygo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I don't think stronger is necessarily what I need. Sometimes I need to be a bit stealthier so I go with the tiny 4 dBi and place myself reasonably close to target, if it's a wide area that I'm trying to survey of if I'm asked to assess what can be done from the Lobby then I'll use the 9 dBi. If I need to be in the parking lot or the building across the road I go with the Hawking for power and also because it's somewhat directional (meh, hit or miss - also, I didn't take a picture of the tripod I use with the Hawking) That 6 dBi though is the one that is in my bag ALL the time. it's just a really good compromise between dBi's and length. If I'm ever doing security awareness training and I need to do something on the spot that's the antenna I go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have this, along with various other smaller antennas. And one with a magnetic stand that is maybe 12-13 dBi. http://www.simplewifi.com/blackindoor.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpoeticg Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I've been going back and forth for about a month on what the best long range antenna i can get for the money. I've been trying to decide between the Backfire that sugarat posted Here http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/29422-what-is-the-best-antenna-you-have-for-your-setup-for-advance-case-project/?hl=antenna , The Bilco Wifi yagi Here http://www.bilcowifi.com/main.sc , and the yagi from simpleWiFi that you just posted. What's you're experience with the simpleWiFi yagi Mr-Protocol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I haven't played with it too much but it does a good job and picking up more WiFi signals. I am happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutin Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 One of the paradoxes I've found with antennas is that bigger is not necesarily better. When I purchased my Alfas, they came with a 2ft long antenna that I was all excited about but then discovered after testing was much worse than the stock 6incher. That cantenna looks cool but I think I'd get shot driving around my neighborhood with it. People would think I had a gun. I'm much more interested in buildiing the classic Pringles cantenna. It would be much stealthier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpoeticg Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Actually you can order that one that he posted in a bunch of colors including clear and clear with colored accents I don't think any1 would merk u for a clear cantenna with a pink yagi in the middle =] Edited May 11, 2013 by kpoeticg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
