The
USB
‐
ADG
‐
2
is
sold
with
a
5dBi
gain
dipole
type
antena.
This
antenna
radiates
radio
frequency
(RF)
in
360
degrees.
Users
may
depending
on
their
application
and
needs
find
alternative
antennas
to
be
useful.
AIR802
manufactures
a
wide
range
of
antennas
which
could
be
used
with
this
adapter.
Antennas
alone
do
not
determine
the
distance
that
you
may
reach.
It
is
a
factor
of
the
RF
transmit
power
and
receiver
sensitivity
(with
the
USB
adapter
and
the
access
point/router
device),
any
cabling
loss,
free
space
loss
and
antenna
gain
and
other
factors
such
as
interference
in
the
2.4
GHz
ISM
band.
With
line
‐
of
‐
sight,
antennnas
and
a
proper
installation,
a
point
‐
to
‐
point
network
can
be
achieved
for
1
mile
or
more.
Outdoor
antennas
can
be
used
indoors
and
will
almost
always
will
provide
better
results
than
an
indoor
antenna
of
the
same
gain.
To
install
an
antenna
remote
of
the
USB
adapter,
you
will
need
to
purchase
a
special
AIR802
antenna
cable
asssembly.
The
cable
assembly
will
require
a
RP
‐
SMA
(plug)
at
the
USB
adapter
end.
AIR802
outdoor
antennas
will
require
a
N(male)
connector
at
the
opposite
end
of
the
cabe.
