There is no guarantee that these will increase wifi performance, in fact in some cases, they can make it worse, so research how they work first! I got them for an outdoor access point I built. They are great for that! They wpuld also be good for a router in the middle of a large open room. However, in a house that has multiple rooms, especially an older house (built with good materials unlike "McMansions") that cause signal interfere, it could make it worse. Think about jacking a stereo up super loud in a house compared to inside a large venue/open room/outside. The sound will be distorted and hard to hear clearly inside the house, but will be much clearer and less loud in the latters. Blasting a radio signal in tight spaces causes it to reflect all over and causes "noise". More strategic router placement would provide better signal than these. If you can't really move your router due to modem location etc, then maybe try a remote antenna array. They have SMA coxail leads that go from the antenna ports on the router to wherever you would like the antenna/s. They make ones with a si gle, double, and/or triple antennas etc to match your router.Also keep in mind that the signal radiates out from the dipole/omnidirectional antennas perpendicularly like a donut with the antenna through the hole. So if you tilt an antenna at like 45°, it will be aiming up and down at an angle. 3 antenna routers often recommend the "W" orientation, but those are best used between two floors so the signal will reach both. Higher isn't always better, it's usually better to have these kind of antennas in the center of a location so it radiate in all directions. Putting it up by a ceiling or in a corner will just end up sending a lot of the signal outside of the house, building, etc.Also there really isn't any more distance gained with these type of antennas between 7dbi and 10dbi antenna. In fact, it can start to collapse onto itself around 9-10dbi making it worse than 7-8dbi even in an unobstructed area. I got the 8dbi and they add about 50meters of range compared to my stock 5dbi antennas on the router outside. If you have a trouble area that is far away, you may want to look into a directional antenna like a panel, dish, yagi, or "cantenna" pointed in that area, as it will have better range than an omnidirectional like these. Pay close attention to the type of signal coming out of the router too. If each antenna is broadcasting 2.4ghz and 5ghz, you will need a dual band antenna, but if one antenna is 2.4 and one is 5ghz, then you may want to look for antennas optimized for each.I hope this is helpful to someone looking to increase their signal strength. I have had to learn a lot from scratch over the past couple years, so I thought this may be able to shorten that journey for others. Good luck!!

Ok

So i live in an RV near an xfinity wifi hotspot. My PC had the stock antennas hooked to the motherboard and i could barely download anything (1mb/s, and network disconnecting entirely often). so i upgrade to an antenna that has a long wire and i can put that outside the rv. problem is it was better, but only slightly.So i ended up rolling the 10 dollar dice on these before i got working on a directional antenna on the roof of the rv, which would have cost a significant amount more than 10, so i figured give it a shot. These gave me over 10x gains compared to the previous. My download speeds jumped from a measly 1-2mb/s and often disconnecting to 20-30mb/s and no disconnects. These antennas are actually a massive upgrade for me. All i can say is roll the dice on them because getting a good wifi signal for 10 dollars is as good as i can imagine it can get for me.

Makes online games near unplayable, as 16% of wifi packets are lost on average. No major difference in speeds or latency compared to a standard 5.5 inch antenna. The fact is: making an antenna bigger doesn't necessarily make it better, unless you're supplying more power to it. This product is poor quality and, in my opinion, useless. Just use your motherboards pack-in antennas. A smaller antenna makes for a better connection anyways, per square cube law. I found these antennas lost connection constantly, despite not being too far from the router.

Connected these to my Asus RT-AX86U to try and improve the signal to my back bedroom. Honestly, I see very little to no difference with these antennas. On top of that they are giant. If you need replacement antennas or if your current antennas are the really small old style antennas, this may make a tremendous difference. But upgrading from the stock antennas on a fairly recent wifi router, I saw little to no difference. These are going back.

Without disclosing my background, I feel more than qualified to write a review for these. That being said...They work. Very well. The router I placed these on needed six of them. The stock ones broke, and I decided to take a chance on upgrading, instead of just replacing.Of the places in my home that were dead spots, usually behind a thick wall or metal, about 80% now have a signal, and in most cases, a pretty good signal at that. They're not magic, and they're not perfect. They do feel like they're magic though 🙂The signal also went much further. Almost double. I would estimate 25 yards minimum. However, for security reasons I would not recommend these for everybody, as you would not want to overbroadcast. For me, it's practically a necessity.If you have ever bought aftermarket antennas for a router, then you probably know it's 50/50 if they work at all, let alone work better than the OEM.We considered a range extender, but have had mixed results for various reasons. We considered a mesh network, but didn't really see the point in buying a new router, especially when Wi-Fi 7 is about to drop. The router was fine, the antennas were broke. The cheapest first step was to replace them with OEM, but decided to roll the dice and go for these as an upgrade instead. The bet paid off.These were everything I dared not hope for. I would definitely look here first in the future. I don't know if they'd work with all/your routers, or if I got all the luck, but they were a nice tight fit, I'd say even better than OEM. They don't flop around despite their size, and while I didn't open one up, it seems like they're legit and durable.In short, if Chuck Norris needed replacement antennas for his router, these are probably the ones I would recommend 🙂
