Eightwood 2.4GHz 5GHz Dual Band WiFi Antenna with 3 RP-SMA Male Connector | Magnetic Base, 6.5ft Cable, for PC Desktop Motherboard, PCIe WiFi Card, Wireless Router

The poor quality antennas on the Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE card I purchased gave me frequent disconnects (from WiFi network), timeouts and only adequate bandwidth. Before packing it up and sending it back to Amazon, I decided to give a new antenna a try first. This Eightwood has given me minimum 5x the bandwidth, lower latency and no disconnects, timeouts or packet drops in the more than 48hrs since it was installed. Although I've only propped the array on top of my computer, it has an extra long cable in case I want to move it to a location with a better reception. Worth the money. UPDATE: 08/29/2020 A little over two weeks later and the card/antenna combo has still had NO problems in 24/7 usage. To give you a little background, my computer is in the basement and the Comcast WiFi router is on the 1st floor. There are 2 Comcast xFi pods (wifi mesh extenders) on the first floor and one in the basement, to help the Wifi cover the whole house. However, the basement pod frequently falls victim to significant interference (a result of being within feet of plumbing, HVAC, water heater, etc. - all items Comcast says NOT to put a pod near) so it - mostly - connects to a pod on the first floor. While this does lead to a small decrease in bandwidth (100mbps+ down to around 70mbps+. Doesn't affect latency, however!), it's a testament to how much reach this antenna has given my 12yr old Apple Mac-Pro 3,1.

Last year I overhauled my network with all-new ASUS ai-mesh gear. I have my router/AP (ASUS RT-AC68U) and two remote APs using Ethernet backhaul. My modem and router are in our living room. I have my modem in a built-in cabinet but had the router/AP on a shelf over the cabinet, hidden as best as possible by tucking it into a corner with a framed picture obscuring it. This also meant running my network cables up to the router from the cabinet and hiding them behind some trim. I never liked this setup since you could still see the router and the antennas were crammed into a corner. I installed this antenna, and now my router is hidden inside the cabinet right next to the modem, and this antenna is up on the middle of a shelf obscured by a large framed picture. Antennas aren't up against drywall/framing in a corner any more, so the signal *might* propagate more freely (I haven't tested signal levels but I'm not inclined to since I have solid coverage with 3 WiFi access points around my house). I'm still getting a solid signal several rooms away while connected to this AP. It's working great for both 2.4 and 5G. I would have preferred a white one to better blend into our decor, but it wasn't a deal breaker. For the price I'm very pleased. Seems to be well made.

The product shows up packaged in just a clear bag. There is a smaller bag full of various adapters. There are no instructions as to which adapter to use. I happened to find a combination for my F-150. The antenna itself seems to be functional and the AM/FM reception in my area is OK. I had a smaller antenna before that was broken off in the car wash. This one seems a little more pliable and I hope it will survive the car wash.

Signal strength was an unacceptable 30%. When I tested my signal strength with an ASUS antenna from another computer, signal strength jumped up to 80%. I either got a defective unit or this antenna is terrible. Not recommended.

This antenna is the only one to get. The base is super sturdy, antennas well built. The cord is thick and very long, connectors are high quality. For this price this thing is unbeatable, it really helped my signal out tremendously. I ordered the three connector instead of the two by mistake but I just plug two in and it works. I had my onboard wifi adapter turned up as agressive as it would go when I plugged this in and I think it out out more power than the chip could handle because it quickly turned off and o had to repair drivers. Would reccomend using conservative to moderate settings because this antenna will take whatever your onboard wifi chip can dish out with ease. This is an easy buy, can't stress enough, this is the antenna you are looking for.

I have an older Netgear wireless router that has served our house well for many years, but one computer in particular has been having connectivity issues —a self-built desktop with PCI wireless adapter card. At times, the Internet connection would be great, but would slow down or drop completely often. All I had to do was unscrew the three antennae from the back of the wireless car and connect the three cables in their place. The antennae at opposite end of the extension cables are placed high upon nearby furniture. The improvement was immediate and profound. We are very happy to have picked up this replacement WiFi antennae system. There is no software or tools needed. Anyone can install this in just a few minutes. Just note that this is for three-antennae systems. Eightwood sells a similar product for two-antennae systems called "Eightwood Dual WiFi Antenna with RP-SMA Male Connector, 2.4GHz 5GHz Dual Band Antenna Magnetic Base for PCI-E WiFi Network Card USB WiFi Adapter Wireless Router"

I had hoped these antennas could unscrew and be replaced with high Gain antennas i had in the back of the computer but they couldn't so they worked out about the same,maybe a little worse performance which shouldn't be the case.

Didn’t get it thinking boost wifi signal. Its wifi and you can only get so much signal regardless of the ads. Got it for flexibility for my Asus 86U. The router needed to be placed low and out of the way which of course kills the signal. Was able to use this three antenna base, mount it on a wall where it can’t be seen in a home office. Gets very strong signal and my throughput is in the mid 500’s to low 600’s wireless. Which is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Massive improvement for Wifi signal strength, Online multiplayer game runs flawlessly. Have router on top floor (2nd) These antennas are being used for Basement Desktop.

Product seems sturdy enough given its relatively cheap price. I used the Wifi SweetSpots app on my phone to find the best place to put the antenna, and it's been working fine. I only wish that the included antennas could be detached so I could attach my own.
