VERSATILE PLACEMENT WITHIN YOUR HOME
The D-Link Xtreme N 2.4GHz Antenna (ANT24-0230) comes with an extended color-coded cable, which allows for flexible placement around your Xtreme N Desktop Adapter (DWA-552) or Xtreme N Router (DIR-655). Hide your desktop computer underneath your desk and maintain wireless performance by placing the ANT24-0230 on top of your desk or mounting onto a wall. Alternatively, you can hide your router in your closet or in an enclosed space and still achieve optimal coverage by using the flexible Xtreme N 2.4GHz Antenna.
WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES
The D-Link Xtreme NTM Antenna (ANT24-0230) is a versatile antenna designed to help improve the performance of D-Linkâ?TMs Xtreme N Desktop Adapter (DWA-552), particularly if the adapter is in an area that is not ideal to send and receive radio signals (e.g. when installed in a PC that is underneath a desk). It can also be used with the Xtreme N router (DIR-655) for greater placement flexibility, allowing the router to be placed near a modem or switch while the antenna is situated in a more ideal location.

It does work!!!Jan 26, 2008
By Bejar
This antenna does work. It's all in the way you position it. It's design leaves a little to be desired but, if you position it just right, it works. I connected the antenna to my router, ran the cable under my scanner and up through the back so the antenna sits on top of the scanner. My signal went from "Low" and "Very Low" to "Very Good" on both my wireless N equipped PC and Laptop. Considering the router is on the other side of my apartment in my bedroom; some 60 feet away with a wall in between, it's great. I would recommend it.

Incremental improvementJan 24, 2009
By Michael Dupagne
When assessing the effectiveness of an indoor antenna like the Xtreme N 2.4 Ghz antenna, it is important to remember that range and bandwidth of a wireless connection depends on many factors, including the number of obstacles, the actual location of reception, and the wireless card itself. In my house, there are many walls and doors separating the dir-655 D-Link router and my laptop. The distance between the two is about 80 feet, hardly a short distance.

I gained one bar (from very low to low) and doubled the speed (from 6.5 Mbps to 13 Mbps+) with an ASUS Eee 1000 netbook that has a built-in 802.11n card. In the same position, a regular Dell Latitude laptop with a built-in 802.11g card gave me two bars (same as the ASUS) and 54 Mbps. I suspect that the ASUS wireless card has a rather limited range. So after spending considerable with antenna orientation, there is some improvement with the Xtreme N 2.4GHZ indoor antenna in that particular position (where I sit).

I should note that if I move to a slightly different position in the room, I receive a good signal (3 bars+) with a much higher bandwidth. So my sitting location is obviously not ideal for wi-fi reception. With two bars, I am still able to surf without too much trouble (i.e., interruptions).

I should add that I tested the Hawking HiGain Directional Corner Antenna, indoor, 15dBi - HAI15SC with the dir-655 router (I was told by the manufacturer that it should work with an N router), but that antenna was less effective than the Xtreme N 2.4GHZ indoor antenna.

The bottom line is: Do not expect too much from this antenna. It can help you improve your signal strength, but suddently you are not going to go from one bar to five bars.

Made the differenceOct 03, 2007
By Greengnt
I used this antenna to move WiFi transmission beyond a plaster wall and away from some other electronics. That seemed to make all the difference - I tested two spots where I previously had trouble and there are no dropouts and faster transmission.

it works.... a little bit better.Sep 26, 2007
By Alex Moomaw
diffenently get a little better signal but not by much. the cable is about 5 feet too short to really be useful (its only about 3 feet long) and position the antenna in the optimal spot for improved signal receiption.

Increase your range and power.Jan 21, 2010
By Running Rebel "Tech Junky"
I have a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router in my basement and my computer on the main floor. I used to get about 55 to a max of 80% for my signal strength. This antenna is amazing. I now get 87 to 100% on a daily basis.
I did a little check with my laptop and noticed even several houses away, I can still get the internet.

Great product. I definitely recommend it, as I own a computer servicing company.
