Morning,


Working on wifi range extender and wanted confirmation on the frequency range of the antenna. Wanting to buy a 15dbi antenna and I presume most locations are still on the 2.4. Or does it really matter?

Thanks in advance for you input.

2.4 definitely.

if you're planning to use it to lock onto campground / resort wifi, 9 times out of 10 they'll be using 2.4 ghz.

if you're planning to use it to extend a MiFi / Hotspot of your own, 9 times out of 10 they use 2.4 ghz as well.

It is my observation, the fewer bands an antenna supports, the better it will work.
