How to use

Connect the antenna to the SMA socket on your WLAN device and position it vertically or according to your device documentation to achieve the best signal. Ensure the connector is securely screwed in without over‑tightening. After installation, check your device’s wireless signal strength and adjust the antenna orientation as needed.

Recommendations

Use this antenna with devices that accept an external SMA antenna and operate primarily in the 2.4 GHz band. Avoid forcing the connector and keep the antenna clear of large metal obstructions to maintain optimal reception.
