Common questions
Questions before you buy
Are external antennas better on a WiFi extender?
Not automatically. Performance depends on antenna design, radio hardware, placement and the environment; compare independent published measurements where available.
Can I point extender antennas toward a dead zone?
Follow the model's positioning guidance. Antenna orientation and radiation pattern vary, so a simple pointing rule may not apply to every product.
Do more antennas mean longer WiFi range?
Antenna count alone does not establish range. Review the complete specifications and avoid treating advertised coverage as a guarantee for your home.
Can external antennas be replaced?
Only if the manufacturer specifies removable or replaceable antennas. Do not modify the unit unless its documentation permits it.
