Gain - Amount of wireless signal strength added to a standard signal normally measured in db ’s. MC Card Connector - Antenna connector type used on Buffalo Technology routers/AP’s, adapter and indoor antenna products. N type connector - Antenna connector type used on Buffalo Technology outdoor antenna’s and coaxial cable.
This is where an antenna helps the most in increasing the overall signal and carrying it farther. An average 8 dbi outdoor antenna can carry your signal up to 3/4 of a mile. Different Antennas have different signal patterns.

Please be aware that small incremental changes in elevation either up, down or side to side can make significant changes in the signal quality. Several adjustments may be required to achieve the best signal.
When using the antenna on an adapter you can judge the signal strength by watching the bars on the client manager as you adjust the antenna. When used on a router/AP you can test it by placing a device with a wireless adapter at a low signal position and then move the antenna on the router/AP to see if the signal improves.
