Sinn3rman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey guys, would this be beneficial for the pineapple ? http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2-4G-AP-router-extender-5w_1874220838.html I don't really understand the science behind antenna gain etc so I am sceptical if this product would improve performance ?

cooper Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Start reading here. On the next page I provide 3 links to similar Alibaba offerings for various amounts of amplification power I was considering. Those offerings may since have ceased, but can provide a starting point for similar devices. In general, these devices increase signal strength (regardless of direction) within their specific frequency range, but doing so requires a comparatively significant amount of power so they get fairly hot. Keep that in mind when you consider your intended application. Obviously, more watts means more amplification but also more heat.

Oli Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Also, the more you deviate from a single "stock" MKV the greater the irrelevance/inappropriateness of the pineapple. If you don't need a small, low cost, battery powered WiFi device with multiple in-built radios then a laptop with, for example, kali, decent external radios etc is orders of magnitude more useful and appropriate.
