What cable is used for WiFi antenna?

Most cellular antennas come with RG-58 or RG-174 cable in varying lengths, hardwired to the antenna. These wire types are thin and flexible, but for extension cables and longer runs, heftier cables should be used.

Do WiFi cards need antennas?

Yes, wifi chips do not have integrated antennas and thus require them.

Can WiFi antenna be extended?

Yes you can, but remember, each bit of cable has some attenuation to it and the longer you run it, the less power that is left to send out to clients, same goes with the return, if you have a client that is able to get a marginal signal to the antenna, the cable could be enough to lose more signal to the point of …

Can I use coaxial cable for WiFi antenna?

You definitely can use RG6 coaxial cable with WiFi frequencies, provided that you convert the impedance. The fact that RG6 cable is marketed as being “tested to 1 GHz,” “tested to 3 GHz,” etc. doesn’t preclude its use with higher frequencies.

Will a PCIE Wi-Fi card work without antenna?

Yes, but likely only at the range of a few feet. You should realistically consider the antennae to be necessary to the proper operation of the wireless card.

Why does my Wi-Fi card have two antennas?

A dual Wi-Fi antenna is a pair of identical antennas on a wireless router or Wi-Fi-equipped device, intended to eliminate signal fading and dead spots.

Do you need an internal wireless network card?

Optional: a WiFi card. Unless you have Ethernet ports where your gaming PC will dominate, you’ll need a WiFi card to connect it to the internet. Some motherboards come with built-in WiFi connectivity, but they’re not known to be very good, so getting a separate card is a better way to go.

Where should I point my WiFi card antenna?

As we know, our antenna signals are radiated vertically and outward. If you only need to use it on the first floor of your home, we recommend you place antennas vertically, so that the antenna coverage can achieve the best on the same level.
