Optimize WLAN Range and Power

NETGEAR's line of antennas and accessories for 802.11b and 802.11g devices give you multiple options for maximizing the reach and performance of your wireless infrastructure devices. Every WLAN deployment is unique. When planning a network that incorporates wireless, varying facility sizes, construction materials, distance between transmission points and physical obstructions must be accounted for. With both directional and omni-directional antennas, low-loss cables, mounting hardware, and other accessories, installers can customize a value-priced wireless solution that meets the requirements of even the most challenging applications. All NETGEAR antennas are FCC-approved to work with the following NETGEAR models: FVM318, FWG114P, ME103 and WG302.

18 dBi Patch Panel Directional Antenna

The ANT24D18 indoor/outdoor directional* antenna provides a 3-in-1 solution for mixed applications in combination with an 802.11b or 802.11g access point or wireless router. One, it delivers extended access point range in a single floor environment ideally positioned in the corner of a building. Two, it functions point-to-point so that you can wirelessly connect LANs between buildings in a campus-type environment. Three, it provides multifloor transmission when placed on a ceiling, as the higher power output extends the range through typical flooring materials. Includes several mounting options (fixed wall, wall adjustable, and pole), cable sold separately.

*Directional: Concentrates transmit and receive radio-frequency energy into a cone, or beam, for higher signal strength and reception in a single direction.

9 dBi Indoor/Outdoor Omni-directional Antenna

The ANT2409 indoor/outdoor antenna provides extended point-to multi-point coverage for wireless 802.11b or 802.11g devices. Optimal for medium range indoor or outdoor point-to-multi-point applications. Included lightning arrestor (a \$90 value) helps prevent damage due to lightning-induced surges or static electricity in outdoor applications. Typically hung from crossbars of drop ceilings or on a rooftop, the waterproof and UV resistant ANT2409 includes wall and pole mounting materials for installation ease, antenna cable and grounding cable not included.

5 dBi Omni-directional Antenna

The ANT24O5 indoor omni-directional** antenna is designed to extend coverage of wireless 802.11b or 802.11g devices. This antenna is especially useful in optimizing coverage when you want to place your wireless access point or router out of plain view – in a wiring closet or above a ceiling pad. Locate this antenna at the top of a cubicle, on a ceiling, desktop or wall, where it is more receptive to radio signals. Ideal placement is on a wall, 2 m high, or on the ceiling facing the area to cover. Includes mounting brackets, cable sold separately.***

** Omni-directional: Radiates radio-frequency energy equally in all directions for widespread, all-points deployment.
***NETGEAR recommends use of antenna cable up to 5 m long with the ANT2405 antenna.

500 mW Power Booster\*\*\*\*

The 500-milliwatt bi-directional power booster increases the transmission signal from an average 50 mW to 500 mW and amplifies the signal by 10 dB (10 times) in receive mode. It is used to enable a single access point device to cover a larger area. Consisting of a bi-directional amplifier, 500 mW (+27 dBm) in transmit mode for +5 to +15 dBm input, it provides 10 dB gain in receive mode. It can also be used to fully compensate for the loss of long antenna cables without any reduction of performance, and permits one to position an antenna at a greater distance from a wireless node. Used in conjunction with a high gain antenna, such as the 18 dBi ANT24D18, it can provide very high outdoor range – up to 120 km or about 74 miles. Easy to install, no configuration required; includes ceiling/wall mount bracket, cable sold separately.

*** NETGEAR has approved this product for use in the United States only. As per FCC regulations, the ANT24BNA booster is sold as part of a transmission system which includes the ME103 802.11b ProSafe Wireless Access Point and the NETGEAR 3m cable (ACC-10314-02). This product may only be ordered as part of a bundle p/n: ME103BDLINA. Use of the ANT24BNA with any other products is strictly prohibited by FCC regulations. Netgear expressly disclaims the implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose for any damage caused by misuse of the ANT24BNA.

Power Injector for the 500 mW Booster

An optional accessory for the 500 mW booster, the ANT24BDC power injector provides power through the antenna cable to the booster. Use this device when the booster is not located near a power outlet. Installed between the access point and the booster, this device injects up to 12 volts and 2 amps to the booster. The antenna cable from the access point to the injector can be up to 3 m in length. The cable between the injector and the booster can be up to 10 m long to achieve maximum performance benefits.

Low-loss Antenna Cables

These 1.5 m, 3 m, 5 m, and 10 m antenna cables offer low loss at 2.4 GHz and added flexibility for setting up access points at a greater distance from a power source. They come with reverse SMA connectors and provide a standard connection optimized for use with NETGEAR's line of WLAN antennas, and Booster/Power Injector products (range can be drastically reduced if longer or higher loss cables than these are used.)
