We use a lot of Zyxel equipment in our installations and the antennas are particularly good. This one is a 9dBi patch antenna suitable for outdoor use. The beamwidth is wider than the higher gain antennas at approx 120 degrees which makes this a very useful general purpose directional antenna.
We like the Zyxel antennas as they have small footprint and are easy to mount. They also come with a readymade cable which is of a high quality.
Manufacturer’s Description
Wireless network antennas typically perform best in open environments with the least amount of obstructions possible. Performance may be significantly impaired if antennas are mounted near metal surfaces, concrete walls, or other high-density materials. To meet the challenge of these and other severe environments, Zyxel offers performance-enhancing antennas for its Zyxel family of wireless modems.
Zyxel’s extended reach antennas allow users to get the best wireless performance out of the most difficult environments. With Zyxel antennas, customers will enjoy greater reach and better transmission quality for their wireless networks.
