The Linksys HGA9N omni - directional antenna is a good example, you maybe very suprised at the distances possible from the average laptop; 3 miles is well within the range if the topography is conducive or the antenna height needs adjustment.

Increase the range of the Wireless networkfor your Business! Attach these antennas to the WAP54GPE Exterion Access Point and increase both the effective strength of the outgoing signals and the receive sensitivity of the incoming signals.

The added signal strength and sensitivity also improves mid-range communication reliability because every packet comes through "loud and clear", reducing retransmissions due to weak signal reception errors.

The 9dBi signal strength allows the signals to travel further and detect the signals stronger in a 360 degree radius.

The weatherproof housing is able to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The HGA9N includes a lightning surge protector, mounting kit, and cable.
