Question 1

I've just purchased an Asus RT-AC5300 router.  If I replace all 8 stock antennas (model number RFDPA131000SBLB805) rated at 2.32dBi in 2.4GHz, and 3.47dBi in 5GHz will I see a marked improvement in coverage?

Accepted Answer

Nick, tough question to answer because depends on so many factors. Also has to do with what you determine to be a "marked" improvement. Statistically, performance should/will improve over stock, But how much depends on location and building structure. I think the cost vs. benefit make it worthwhile investment. You can get phone app that measures signal strength to check locations around house for comparison to see how much, if any improvement. With that input you can make personal decision if improvement meets your standard. Hope this helps a little. Last, I am happy with mine.

Question 2

Does this antenna fit the standard (small) screw on coaxial on pci wireless cards? If not, does anyone know where to find one that DOES replace the ones for wi-fi cards?

Accepted Answer

Whether it will fit or not depends on your pci adapter. These antenna have RP-SMA plugs which are female fittings and need to attach to a male connector on your pci adapter. If you have a pci adapter with female connectors then you need antenna with a SMA connector not RP-SMA connector. Newegg won't let me give site to find what you need so just google it. Good luck.

Question 3

how long are these? i asked this before don't think it posted

Accepted Answer

The antenna from the swivel joint is about seven inches long.  It's cross section is oval shaped instead of round and measures .25" x .34".

Question 4

I have a linksys ea6300 router.  Will the rosewill rnx-ad7 work with this router?

Accepted Answer

It should as long as you have the same type of antenna connections. I have asus 1900 and they fit fine...just slip/screw over existing post for old antennas.

Question 5

how long are these? my router is up high on a shelf not sure if they will fit.

Accepted Answer

I don't know off hand but I'm sure the specs are listed on NewEgg website. My guess would be 6 to 7 inches.
