Are additional antennas needed in order to use this device?

You will need an out door antenna as well as a indoor antenna or a direct connect. Mine was too stong even on low settings. So I returned the amp. hope this helps

This device does not come with any antennas. You will need an internal and an external antenna. Plus N to F connector adapters if you choose to use coax with F connectors.

Yes, and for me a total waste of money. It never did a thing and took pretty good effort to get is all installed.

Answer here...You Need A 2.4 GHz Signal Booster High Gain Antenna. The Antenna Is Fitting The Receiver.

No, you only connect as many antennas as you have. It doesn't matter which you use. The antennas are all exactly alike.

Yes, all the required antennas are embedded. Bluetooth is a separate card though.

FWIW, 802.11N and AC routers really *do* need multiple antennas to take full advantage of the technology available (e.g. MIMO). Having multiple antennas can enable the device to receive/transmit simultaneously & also helps to filter interference/noise (e.g. caused by multipath propagation). That all can translate to improved Tx/Rx speeds, and better range & signal quality (i.e. fewer dropouts, better SNR).I'm not saying you need to buy three of these to replace the originals, but you should generally keep the original _quantity_ of antennas connected for best performance with the radios in the hardware. (Assuming the company engineered the device properly, and Asus usually seems to do a good job of that).

Yes it does require and am/fm external antenna and a satellite antenna if you are going to use the sirius option

You do not need antennas for the pair if you're using them for short distances. Mine work just fine within 100 feet.

An external antenna comes with it. I don't think you can add another one.It's a really fine radio. My classical music station is often hard to get in my area but it comes in very well on this radio.

Yes, you must use an HDTV antenna as this device does not work with cable TV.

I found it to work fine with only one port. I ended up getting a longer USB cable so I could raise the antenna up higher to get a strong signal...

You know I am not sure about antennas, I have never had to purchase one... I am sorry.

Maybe a couple if you have a strong signal but there is no built in antenna if that's what you meant. You can buy very good inexpensive antennas on amazon (check their reviews first)

No. The antenna will only increase the range. The maximum speed is whatever you put into the device.

The devices would need a SMC connection in order for this device to be used properly. You may want to look into purchasing an Access Point or Range Extender.

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

Why?! That makes no sense and it's not how it is designed. To answer your question, you'd need a separate combiner/splitter to combine your illogical "two antennas" to the single input of THIS unit.

No antenna is required but being near to your wireless router should help. Hopefully there are not a lot of obstructions and especially no steel walls in the way.
