Hot on the heels of those Linksys High - increase Antennas we mentioned yesterday are a pair of external , stand up - alone units from D - Link , a 4 dBi omni - directing antenna called the ANT-0400 and a 6 dBi directional model called the DWL - M60AT , priced at $ 30 and $ 40 , severally . Both role model have aboriginal SMA connectedness ( for attaching them to your five hundred - Link devices ) , but include SMA - to - TNC rebirth adapters .
Find out how these antenna keep you legal , and how I ’m sort of stupid , after the jump .
Now yesterday when I mentioned the Linksys good example , I pointed out that better , cheaper transmitting aerial could be purchased from company like Fab - Corp , but Reader Joshua Bardwell place something out to me that I had , stupidly , forgotten : FCC regulations technically view Wi - Fi systems as a whole — that means antenna let in . By adding a non - FCC approved antenna to your gimmick , you are technically breaking the law . That is n’t really a grownup deal to rest home hackers , but as Joshua remind me , authorized and branded antennas from producer are a boon to meshwork administrators who want to reach out their mesh but still stay sound .

Glenn Fleishman does a peachy task explaining this in more detail .
