MIMO means multiple in, multiple out, and refers to wireless devcies that have more than one antenna. The MacWireless omni-directional MIMO antenna will help boost the range of your MIMO wireless card or base station. Really three antennas in a single enclosure, this compact unit will allow you to extend your network into those hard-to-reach places. Our MIMO antenna is also compatible with MacWireless Boosters!
Download iStumbler software and check your reception before and after.

Q: Does the external antenna supplement or replace the built-in AirPort antenna?
A: The external antennas replace the internal antenna in the AirPort base stations. The external antennas are designed to better focus or concentrate the signals in a certain area. The area looks like a donut in the case of Omni external antennas and looks like a cone in the case of directional antennas. For more info on this, please see the answer to the question What is the difference between an Omni and a Directional antenna?
Q: Can I use this antenna for an AirPort card inside my computer?
A: Our antennas can be used with many AirPort-enabled Macintosh computers. For a complete list of supported models, please see the compatibility section above.
Q: If I use this antenna with an 11n wireless device, will the antenna function in 5 GHz mode?
A: No, MacWireless antennas and boosters only function in 2.4 GHz mode.

Factors Affecting Range and Performance of All Wireless Networks
Range estimates are typical and require line of sight. Basically that means you will need a clear unobstructed view of the antenna from the remote point in the link.
Keep in mind that walls and obstacles will limit your operating range and could even prevent you from establishing a link. Signals generally will not penetrate metal or concrete walls. Trees and leaves are obstructions to 802.11 frequencies so they will partially or entirely block the signal. Other factors that will reduce range and affect coverage area include metal studs in walls, concrete fiberboard walls, aluminum siding, foil-backed insulation in the walls or under the siding, pipes and electrical wiring, furniture and sources of interference. The primary source of interference in the home will be the microwave oven. Other sources include other wireless equipment, cordless phones, radio transmitters and other electrical equipment. Due to the increased gain, installing range extender antennas in the presence of interference could actually yield equal or worse range.
These solutions work for the vast majority of our customers. However, due to the numerous factors affecting range and performance we do not guarantee that you will achieve any specific improvement in range for your specific application.
