router range
Would putting a larger antenna on my wireless router improve the range?
i have a SWAMR-54108 (if that’s any help). I asked my rather technically able brother in law whether adding a larger antenna would improve my range, but he was unsure, he said it may work, but it may be to do with radio frequencies, and so the length would not determine the range.
Which (if any) is true?
Would putting a larger antenna on my wireless router improve the range?
Some understanding of RADIO is needed here. LARGER is not always BETTER.
Antennas, to work effectively, have to be TUNED to the frequency of intended use. They have to be designed and set to a specific operating frequency in order to work. An antenna with more GAIN, meaning it is more efficent, will indeed increase range! In many cases that will be a larger antenna but not always! In the case of antennas the GAIN of the antenna is more important than its size! The higher the GAIN the better it works.
If you want to use a BETTER antenna, it has to be one designed and tunned for the range of frequencies you need that antenna to cover.
A good place to start learning about antennas is the ARRL Antenna Book.

Bigger does not equate to BETTER when antennas are designed! Bigger may be better but it can also cause MAJOR signal loss unless it is done correctly!
