The Best Long Range Wifi Antenna in 2017

Today, I bring you a review of a usb long range WiFi antenna. I just bought which has me very pleasantly surprised. The range is amazing and best of all it is one of the Wi-Fi antennas compatible with WifiSlax. You may also be interested in the post about the best Wi-Fi repeater or build your own homemade Wi-Fi antenna.

Long range Wi-Fi antenna: CARD KING KW-3016N 300Mbps

There are several clones of the Card-King, all from the same manufacturer, with the only difference being the logo.

Actually there are 2 models: the one with 2 omnidirectional antennas and the one that does not (outdoor wifi antenna). The one with the 2 omnidirectional antennas is rubbish, has no range outdoor, and I doubt that reaches 100 meters.

Basically all of them have 500 meters in range, they all have the same chipset (Ralink 3070) and they are all compatible with WifiSlax. Which one I recommend? The Card KING works very well. I’ll leave a picture:

Presentation of outdoor wifi antenna

Wifi Antenna

It comes in a simple box, which is appreciated, because it shows that it is cheap packaging which has impact on the price. It is much better like this, so you know money isn’t spent on super professional packaging to increase the price and charge 10 euros more for the wifi antenna.

Apart from the long distance wifi antenna and the 10-meter USB cable, the box includes a stand that you can use to place the USB Wi-Fi amplifier both on a table and bolted to the wall.

It also includes a video tutorial to audit networks with BACKTRACK 4.0, WIFIWAY and BEINI, said auditors being cousins of WifiSlax. Here you already have a couple of tutorials of 2 different tools to Audit Wi-Fi passwords, but it always comes in handy to know how to be able to handle other systems. You can use long distance wifi antenna for laptop.

 

Why is the best long range wireless antenna?

The features of this long range Wi-Fi antenna are incredible, for $15 you cannot ask for more. It amplifies the wireless signal dramatically. I don’t know if you have tested other 20 dBi antennae, but for my work I have tested plenty and have a range of 600 meters. This one really can reach much more, but after 600 meters you get a pretty weak signal, which loses much bandwidth and the connection becomes very slow.

But above all it, this is the best long-range wireless antenna to decrypt wireless networks because it has the RT3070 chipset. It is the fastest chip out there to test passwords, you’re going to get a much faster Wi-Fi password decrypting process than with any other antenna that includes a different chipset.

If you want to extend the Wi-Fi signal with this signal booster antenna, you’re going to achieve that without a doubt. In my neighborhood, for example, with the Alfa Networks AWUS036NH adapter with a 5dBi antenna, I was able to see 14 networks, but now I can see almost 40, so for testing decrypting wireless networks is wonderful.

Buy directional WiFi antenna

My favorite option when buying usb WiFi antennas is Amazon. They have the best prices, they ship to your home any wifi antenna, and if you do not like it you can return it with no strings attached.

If you want to buy a  usb WiFi antenna, I leave here the Amazon link with all the Wi-Fi antenna so you can choose the one you like:

Other high gain wifi antennas

Another high gain wifi antenna that I really like is the TP-LINK TL-WN822N, especially since you can find it on Amazon for less than 17$. It may not be an exterior Wi-Fi antenna, but if you are in a room far away from the router, it is a good choice. It is a Wi-Fi adapter with a high sensitivity with 300 Mbps bandwidth.

    Hey, what does max range 328 feet mean? So, if I can catch a weak signal on my laptop but I do not know how far the signal is, will it still amplify it? It is a very weak signal. Thank you! Victoria
