Woosh Booster Antenna...

Hi There,

Does anyone know if a Woosh Booster Antenna (200ANTPKB2) can be used as a 2.4GHz WiFi Frequency range antenna? I want to connect it to my Linksys WRT54GS v1.1 to get better range. If this is not possible what is cheapest outdoor alternative?

Cheers,
W

cellphone based internet connections , such as Woosh, use a completely different frequency band than WIFI and are not modifiable for wifi use.

These are good and fairly inexpensive and can ship with the correct adapter

The woosh antenna I have here is for 2000-2100MHz (2-2.1GHz) so it probably won't work

Something like these from Wild South
Directional | 2.4 GHz | Antennas | Go Wireless NZ Ltd
or
2.4 GHz 8 dBi LH Circular Polarized Patch Antenna for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand
But with both you'll need to get a rp-tnc to n-connector pigtail/extension like:
N-Male to RP-TNC Male Pigtail | Premade Pigtails | Coax Cable & Pigtails | Go Wireless NZ Ltd
or
N-Male to RP-TNC Male 300cm | Premade Pigtails | Coax Cable & Pigtails | Go Wireless NZ Ltd
Hope this helps.
