Cheap Router Antenna Extension Cables are a Gimmick? or are they?  

Thank you 😊

nigga that cable is like $50 💀

Mate I have yai antenna and it's working fine but I bought rp-sma extension cable 10m which is rg174 and it's not working at all

@@ocoro174 damn fr?

I'm thanking you NOW! I was already shitty over the way he pronounced 'antenna"!!!

@@bicanoo_magic3452 😂 I swear

Maybe

You and so many others think this is a better approach at learning? I feel sad for future generations. So you think you “saved” others time by posting your myopic assumption as a final result? Then people like you accept your assessment instead of making there own determination? Not good. Just be watching this fully, others have determined that there are ways to make this work. One is the quality of the cable, as others have made this work perfectly with better cable. There is also the placement of the antennas which were not stated nor shown. He probably had these laying flat on a table since they have no built in stand. These antennas are designed to stand up and sprees the signal out from the sides. If his placement was poor then that alone could have reduced the signal strength. Watching this video in it’s entirety is good for developing an analytical mind. You’ve done harm and no favors.

Thanks So much! will do, please do subscribe :)

@@rtechreviews also how was the antennas oriented? Orientation also plays a role as they broadcast the signal in a pattern, was it just on the floor lying down or was it propped up like how it was installed on the router (vertically)

@@johnerickvinalon2683 I'm using rg174 which is very common for wifi signals using directional yagi antenna and it's not working at all with wifi adapter

Thanks Alvin! please do subscribe! Thanks

Yes.. I don't remember it's been a while... but mostly these extensions do not work 😕

Wrong, the cable for 2.4 and 5ghz is the same. Its the quality of the cable that will enable or not the ability to remote the antenna. The cable used in the video was not sheilded and the antenna placement was not matching the receiver. there must be symitry with the polorisation.

anderson cadogan possibly the cables.. I guess the wire quality and thickness play a role 😊

@@indiatechnewscom thinner or thick?

Thank you 👍🏻

RANJAN NAYAK haha sorry was tested on the go

Yes true 👍

What i was thinking also. In another video they syggested router should be setting ona base then antennas going up for better signal. They attached ours to the wall flat antennas dont give you any range out wards that way

Thanks James really informative ☺️

It's a TP Link Archer C2 thanks. Please do subscribe

I think any good quality cable may work provided it is soldered right

@@rtechreviews ok thanks. I have solider everything and have problem with signal when usin 2 antena solider on a wifi extender board. Have checked so its supports 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11ac And both antena and extender support the same.

It was a cheap cable 😊

True... but on the contrary I found this cable useful for my wifi security camera 😊

True 👍 😊

@@rtechreviews It also leaves plenty of room for any spikes in speed caused by inconsistencies in their network and makes me future-proof to a certain extent at least for internet speed. Note that when I first started using their service I was paying for 100 megabits and with my old ancient Actiontec that was all I was getting from Ethernet (or 30 in another room if I was lucky). Having gotten a better router has opened my eyes to the possible extra speed they allow. They may have overprovisioned the speed to guarantee that you would get 100 megabits most of the time. That is because people love to complain and if they don't get what they paid for the phone lines at the ISPs would be flooded with dissatisfied customers requesting line checks and service calls. I am on a cable modem and it is possible to slow the whole network in the general area for all people on the same line but it is no easy feat, especially if your ISP thinks of you and invested in good equipment.

🙏

Absolutely 💯

You clearly have no understang of whats going on, please dont post your thoughts...post facts

@@armstrongskyview2810 dude mine is same cable rg174 and it's not working it's 10m I'm using with wifi adapter and yagi antenna

Wc

Yes Piotr, what a good tip! Will try finding a better alternative :)

@@rtechreviews hiciste algún vídeo? Acabo de comprar exactamente el cable del vídeo y veo que no aumento la señal☹️☹️

Tplink Archer C2

There are many flaws in his testing and we can’t even see how he placed the antennas (that have no built in stands). The placement of the antennas are very important. Also, like many have said here, using inferior cables will also make it seem like remote antennas do not work. There is nothing honest about this attempt. If anything he is deceiving even if he doesn’t mean to.

I tried rebooting, but it loses signal strength regardless. :) Thanks for watching please do subscribe.

With every 6 inches of wire you add the signal strength reduces about 6dbm. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen

highflow highflow bang on... It makes a lot of sense... Yup

I just used a wifi signal test app from playtime 😊

Glad I helped ! Please do subscribe Visuvas thanks!

Good point. I did not try that :) thanks for the tip will give it a shot. Please do subscribe!

Do you have videos or links to support that, I am thinking of buying that

@@rtechreviews Did you try that?

You are dumb, an antenna receives and transmits! An aireal like on your roof for tv only receives.

I try that with wifi adapter and yahi antenna and not working at all

😊

Don’t envy bro

Dear friend, this may work well with a router, not sure about TV signals

thank you
