| 1283122 | 2012-06-21 01:23:00 | I have a Linksys WRT54G Then I bought this: www.pbtech.co.nz I pulled off an antenna from the linksys and tried plugging in the booster, but the thing wont fit its different cables As far as I can tell I need this to make it work: www.trademe.co.nz But I'm not certain if it will. Can someone advice? I hate wireless. |

| 1283123 | 2012-06-21 03:40:00 | Using an Adapter that you have mentioned will work but may attenuate the signal due to dual contacts. So instead of 9dbi you may end up with 5dbi. It is better if you can return the Antenna that you bought and buy something like this one (www.gowifi.co.nz) |

Read this, every connector at 2.4GHz will have attenuation. www.pixavi.com approx 0.5db per connector. In the setup the OP is talking about there will be 6 connectors plus a 50cm pigtail, so i approximated to a 4db loss, hence suggested to get a different aerial to avoid attenuation |

| 1283126 | 2012-06-21 09:25:00 | Looks like RG-174 coax connected to the antenna base - 1.5 metres of that will loose you 3dB at 2.4Ghz before you start adding up the connector / adaptor loss. | wuppo (41) | ||
