External Antenna for JetPacks to increase WiFi strength

I am wondering if the external antenna ports can be used to strengthen the WiFi signal for your clients connecting?  All I can find in manuals and online is that they are for increasing the 4G signal to connect to Verizon.
Thanks in advance,
TMoeZ

No.  Antennas are for the VZW signal used to communicate with the local towers in your area.
If you want to boost the WIFI signal strength then you need to look into something called a wireless repeater.  A repeater will grab the WiFi of the Jetpack and boost it through its own more powerful equipment.  There are many products out there that can do this from CradlePoint, Pepwave and Netgear.
I would post a diagram of how the repeater interacts with the jetpack but it seems like that feature is currently disabled on the forum : /.  If they restore it then I will post it for you. Maybe I can find a link to one of my old posts that you can reference instead.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • When I use a GSI external antenna for WiFi I first get a message that "Firefox is already running but not responding etc", and then Firefox crashes. Can anyone help please?

    Because of weak WiFi signal I need to use an external antenna (GSI USB wireless WIFI long range network adapter). My computer can see the signal clearly and shows that I am connected to the right network. But when I try to launch Firefox I get a message that "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." When I click "OK" Firefox tries to load websites but gives up and reports "Problem Loading". It looks like Firefox is having trouble "seeing" the signal from the external antenna. What do I need to do please?

    Try Ubuntu support, I don't think your problem is with Firefox - it will use the connection that the Operating System "makes". I'm a real noob with Ubuntu myself, and don't think I can help you figure out the problem.

  • External antenna for iPhone4 in car to reduce radiation

    I want to use my iPhone for navigation and phone in the car but I'm worried about radiation.
    A few weeks ago the WHO is warning about healthproblems and brain-cancer based on using cellular phones also.
    Is there any external antenna product for the iPhone 4, so the antenna of the iPhone itself will be deactivated after connect (by using inside the car)?

    as far as I know there is no option for an external antenna
    but navigation is gps which mean it don't transmit any signals at all (so it don't create any radiation whatsoever)
    only part that create "radiation" is the phone and wifi part as they are 2 way systems which both recieve and transmit data

  • External Antenna for WRT300N

    I have the WRT300N Router and want to install an external antenna to increase my range. I cannot find a method of unscrewing one of the three existing antennas so I can hook up the extending cable. Do I have to break open the case and hardwire it? What connector should I use to solder onto the Router? Uncle Dannie

  • External Antenna for 1240AG is Required?

    Hi guys,
    1. Do the external antennas are required for 1240AG or they are optional or it depends on mounting location and location size?
    2. If it's required and I want to just use 2.4Ghz radio, do I need to buy two antennas or one is enough?
    3.If it's required, do you have any recommendation for a small office with a small warehouse? something like AIR-ANT4941 maybe?

    Hi,
    here are the answers..
    1. Do the external antennas are required for 1240AG or they are optional or it depends on mounting location and location size?
    ANS - 1242 NEED the External antennas, without the antena 1242 APs will not work.
    2. If it's required and I want to just use 2.4Ghz radio, do I need to buy two antennas or one is enough?
    ANS - There are many advantages of using 2 antennas, one of them is Multipath and there are many to pen down..
    3.If it's required, do you have any recommendation for a small office with a small warehouse? something like AIR-ANT4941 maybe?
    ANS - Here is the antenna accessories link, choose the one which meets your requirements!!

  • Do I need an antenna for Power Mac G5 Wifi?

    From the last 30 minutes I've spent surfing the interent about this subject I have learned that I need an AirPort Extreme Card.
    Do I need the wifi antenna also? I think I read that without it the wifi is pretty weak but my router is just across the hall.
    Also, let me know if there ANY other options to get wifi please!

    You need an antenna for all G5 towers from 2003 to early 2005 models.
    The T shaped antenna is easily found on the web.

  • External antenna for a Droid?

    Does anyone know if there is an external antenna that will work with the Droid? I want to be able to use the phone in my storm shelter to monitor the weather. Right now, if I stand on the steps, and hold the phone up by the air vent, it will work, but not when I'm just normally sitting down. So I want to be able to put the antenna up the air vent, and one of the car antennas would probably work. But how does it connect to the phone?(Guess I should have kept the landline.)

        @phatkhat,
    It's great to see that you are getting prepared for storm season. It definitely sounds like you have a great storm shelter there. I truly hope for your safety in this upcoming tornado season.
    When it comes to an external antenna. I have found that many of the products on the market are used while in cars or trucks. This extension of the antenna may be beneficial as you eluded to earlier as your able to get signal while close to the air vent. These products come as wireless products in many cases as few phones have additional antenna ports available.

  • External Antennas for WAP54G

    Hi All,
    I'm an IT Support Consultant trying to itemise the options for a client who wishes to network their main house to the 'granny-flat' which is about 45 degrees down a slope and about 20 - 30m away from the near-side of the house with line-of-sight access from one rooftop to the other.
    Though I insist on only using Linksys devices these days I have never dealt with non-stock antennas and certainly not external antennas. My knowledge in this field indicates I would need 2 x Yagi antennas (one on each roof top) or perhaps directional panel antennas. What I am struggling with is which antenna brands I can choose from, what connectors I need and from there, who I can buy such devices from in Australia. Any specific antenna recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gavin 

    Well the Distance between your Client's house and their Granny Flat is too much, if you connect any wireless antenna to the access point also, i think it wont be able to transmit the wireless signals to the granny's house.

  • External antenna for USB551L?

    I have an external antenna that I used with my previous modem, the USB720.  Although the connector fits (more or less) into the port of the new 551L, it is not a tight connection and I am thinking it is not making contact and therefore useless.  Do I need to buy a new connector cable for this model? 

    I use a land line when at home.

  • External antennas for 802.1g for computer?

    Ive been having a lot of problems with airport reception on one specific computer. Ive replaced the airport card, tried a bunch of preference tricks and what not, nothing seems to help.
    Are there any external antennas i can plug in via usb or firewire to give a better reception? Im beginning to think my antenna may be broken as i can take almost any other wireless device to the same location and get perfect reception.
    Thanks again
    Grant

    What kind of computer is this?
    Note that when installing the AirPort card that there is an internal antenna which needs to be attached to the card or you will have severely degraded range.

  • External Antenna for N Series 1252

    Hello All,
    Can someone please let me know which externally mounted antenna is the correct part to use with a AIR-AP1252 N-Series, (6dBm gain or more, its to cover a playing field)
    I've been scouring the Cisco web site for days to find a definative answer and am getting confused.
    Ideally it needs to cover both radio bands but if it only does 2.4Ghz, I'll settle for that as my life is ticking away.
    Any idea on the wall mounts too.
    All help appreciated
    Regards Tony

    Keep in mind that you can use any 2.4GHz antenna on the 1252. Some antennas have three cables for convenience, but in reality there are three individual antennas inside the casing. You can attain the same effect by purchasing three of the same kind of antenna and connecting them to the 1252.
    The AIR-ANT2506 is a good outdoor antenna and would be fine for use with clients as long as it's installed close to the ground. Omnidirectional antennas are quite deceptive in how they work - they actually form a donut-type coverage that gets "squashed" as gain is increased. A 5.2dBm isn't too bad, but if you install it too high then the signal will go right over the heads of the users. I guess I mention all that to say that you shouldn't install it on a 20-foot pole on top of a roof. :)
    To take full advantage of 802.11n, you'll need three antennas. Otherwise, one or two would suffice fine if you're in an 802.11g environment.

  • External Antenna for GPS

    Hello,
    Is there any way to connect an external GPS antenna to the Nokia N95 8gb? I think it's impossible since there is no special inlet on the phone and I supose the usb port doesn't have any kind of connection to the internal antenna.
    I think you guys have had the same problem. In some cars it's hard to get a good lock on satelites, so maybe an antenna would fix the problem.
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi davidazevedo
    Unfortunately it is not possible and as GPS antenna has been resited to top of phone in the case of N82, it would seem that Nokia has learnt a lesson here.
    There is of course nothing to stop you using a Bluetooth external GPS receiver whilst in the car.
