Which antenna 2.4 or 5Ghz for range extender.

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.

    It really depends on which flavor(s) of 802.11 (WiFi) you'll be connecting to. Thee most common are a, b, g, n and ac.

    read the specifications on your particular model choice. Most are backward compatible.
    What make and model are you looking at?
