TP-Link 2.4GHz 12dBi Outdoor Omni-directional Antenna, N Female (TL-ANT2412D)

This antenna is constructed of best quality materials, very well made and built to last. I own a static caravan on a small secluded site which had a free WiFi access point in the reception building. I removed the tiny rubber antenna from the router and with the aid of the TP Link 5 metre extension cable, fitted this 15Db gain colinear to the outside of the building fastened to the eaves of the reception roof. Result, we no longer have to sit inside the reception building to access the free WiFi but we can all access the internet from our own caravans. The increase in coverage compared to the original setup is incredible. The antenna is bigger than it looks on Amazons photo, being approx 5 feet tall, but it works very well indeed. Also was delivered extremely quickly and came well packaged. Nice one Amazon!

Provided good range boost when paired with my Microtik Groove access point hardware. However as the antenna is quite long and heavy it should be mounted using the supplied bracket if at all possible.

This is longer than you think. I have 9db aerials and didn't think this would be much longer. But when it came it was nearly 5ft long. It does spread the signal round the house.

Mounted this antenna on top of a 5m mast last weekend. It lasted 3 days, before this weeks weather snapped the casing clean away, leaving the antenna internals exposed. As it was designed for outdoor use I expected it to stand up to a bit of wind. I have already received my packing label from Amazon and will not be replacing it with another.

As the title say it is just about OK. For a basic wifi system in a sheltered area it may work fine however our wifi started playing up and it took a lot of diagnostic work until we found the antenna had come apart at the base and was letting water in. So in conclusion, yes it does it's job, yes it,s cheap for what it is, and if you can mount it in a sheltered are it works fine, but for any other installation forget it. I would not buy it again. FYI we have moved away from these types of antenna and have replaced them with TP-Link CPE210 out door access points which although relatively cheap seem to be out performing any antenna we have used.

OK fast delivery

Best buy valeu for money TP-Link TL-ANT2415D 2.4GHz 15dbi Outdoor Omni-Directional Antenna is perfect for medium rage action with very good quality in this rage of money. It arrived in perfect condition with very good packing. I recommend it highly! Thanks Amazon!!!

Not yet had a chance to plug it in as I am waiting for the AP to turn up but first impressions are good. It's huge - about 6' tall and is delivered in a suitably long picture tube with a small set of fittings. Like many specialist products there are no instructions but for anyone who has done even the most basic wiring and PC level technology it's not going to be hard.

I am a tech geek. It's important you know that. Where I live, literally across the street is a MAJOR summer concert venue for our town. While it's great living downtown, it does mean that during major events Verizon's vaunted 4G/LTE network drops to its knees. I mean it becomes "1X," at best! And if you have a "smart phone," it can mean just getting a Facebook update can take 45 minutes! I kid you not. And the only alternative to Verizon's neutered network was to sit in the lobby of the apartment complex and use the landlord's Access Point. Ugh.. *pulls hair* It was at this impasse I decided to experiment with TP-Link's much-praised TL-WR1043ND wireless router. But I took it to the next level: I also ordered the three-meter "pigtail" cables and three 15dBi omnidirectional antennas (which I'm reviewing here). To make it brief, I was STUNNED. The pigtails have a 2.9dB "insertion loss." I didn't know what that meant when I ordered them (hey, we all gotta start somewhere), but it turns out I'm losing nearly HALF the transmit signal from the router in the coax before it even gets to the antenna! Again, this is NO FAULT of TP-Link: I was too ignorant at the time to understand what I was ordering. My boo-boo. Anyway, despite all of that; after re-flashing my WR1043ND with dd-wrt I wanted to see how far into the "concert venue" I could go with my Droid Razr Maxx and still connect to my "home wireless LAN" across the street. Turns out that, even with losing HALF the TX signal in the coax, using these antennas I could connect almost 1,000 feet away from the Access Point!! I was AMAZED. Anyway, to "cut to the chase," with what I've learned my next step is as follows: First, I'm going to "hardware mod" my 1043 router, replacing the RP-SMA connectors with N-females. And I'm going to use either LMR-400 or LMR-600 (which will fit inside the router's cabinet) to connect the N-female connectors with their respective soldier joints on the PC board. Next, I'm going to use LDF4-50A heliax cable to connect from the router to the antennas. Even with 20-feet of cable (as opposed to the nine-foot pigtails) my "insertion loss" will only be 0.8dB as opposed to 2.9dB. This means not only will most of my TX signal get out to the antennas, but most of the RX signal will make it from the antennas to the router. AND, with twenty feet of cable, I can separate the antennas at 15-foot increments (the most I can currently do) to maximize the MIMO ("Multiple Input, Multiple Output) design of the 1043 router. As it stands, right now, I am able to receive free Access Points that are one-half to one MILE away from where I live. For an omnidirectional, this antenna is AMAZING, and I cannot wait to report back what I can achieve once I have the LDF4-50A heliax and a 1043ND router customized to use N-female connectors. Stay tuned... P.S.: One more important thing for you to understand: Even though these are "omnidirectional," they are NOT "isotropic" meaning they do NOT propagate the signal in a three-dimensional spherical pattern. Ergo, while the signal does radiate in a 360-degree pattern, that pattern is perpendicular to the antenna. This is called the "horizontal propagation." The VERTICAL propagation is only 9 degrees, and which is why it achieves a 15dBi gain: Almost none of the signal is "wasted" going out above or below the antenna. You therefore have to keep this in mind when planning your layout so that the intended coverage area does indeed get covered. For example, let's say you mount this antenna on the side of a building or on a pole twenty feet above the ground. Recalling your junior-high trigonometry, a nine-degree vertical propagation means the signal won't hit the ground for a distance of about 126 feet from the antenna. Here's the math: Distance = height * (1 / tan(9)). Lesson: If you want to use this antenna to extend your wireless coverage to your backyard, it will certainly do the job -- but depending on the coverage area you may need to mount the antenna at an angle so that its horizontal propagation properly covers the area.

J'utilise cette antenne dans un camping. Le hot spot se trouve à environ 400 m à vol d'oiseau, j'ai un signal de 4 barres sur 5 ! Presque comme à la maison ..... La végétation est asser dense et pourtant ça passe très bien ! Seul bémol, si vous avez dèjà le câble de connection à l'antenne, la fiche ne passe pas dans le presse étoupe ! Moi je ne l'ai pas mis pour ne pas devoir couper le câble que j'ai acheté à part chez Conrad ! J'ai également vu cette antenne à trois fois ce prix d'Amazon sur d'autres sites ......

Rápida entrega. La antena es lo que esperaba. Largo alcance, da cobertura a la casa de mi hermano 100 metro y la mía 200 metros...

Alles perfekt

Ottimo prodotto lo usato e funziona benissimo .. La spedizione è stata puntuale come sempre.. L antenna è lunga 1,5 m e amplifica la potenza del segnale in tutte le direzioni .. io all'incirca il segnale a pieno campo arriva a 150 m, di distanza..
