Is there a better orientation of the three antennas? Straight up, W shaped up, mix of horizontal or vertical? I'm using an ASUS RT-AC68U beam-forming 802.11ac router.

depends where your client devices are in relation to your router. If everything is on one floor you will certainly have best performance | | |, if you have things on floors above and below you may be better with | | __ or similar. Just try different combos.

You don't have to connect all three. In my setup I only have two connected to the card and I just wrapped 3rd wire in electic tape and tucked it away. It's good to have 3 antennas though for future proofing (newer cards usually have three connectors)

That coax looking cable is likely the antenna. the router only has ethernet ports, no sort of coax.

It is directional so it is more designed as a bridge. If you have one device, you'd be fine, but if you are expecting wide area coverage like an omnidirectional Wi-Fi router, you'll have trouble.

I don't have enough information to be helpful. If you have confirmed that you are aimed correctly, most of the channels you can receive are not scrambled. If you are aimed somewhere else, most channels will be scrambled. My next step if I were you would be to double-check your alignment.

A quick look at that shows it has 4 antennas, and this pack has 3. If I recall correctly when researching new antennas I found other 9db's in a 2-pack; maybe get two of those? Beyond that, it looks like it has the correct connector type, but I can't confirm. One thing I did find was that Linksys plans to introduce an optional high-gain upgrade set sometime this summer. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

Unsure you will have to remove your routers antenna(s) and check for what type of coax connector you will need. I own two of these antennas and use them with a linksys WRT54g router and some other connectors I have. The two antennas on your router are not for send and receive they are for frequency diversity. Hope this helps also you can extend your current wifi network for free by flashing your router with Dd-WRT there are videos online about this process.

I had that problem. Mine was mounted in a router table so it was upside down which probably made things worse. I ordered another router, different make though, but will have router fixed.

supposed to point the side that sais alfa towards the direction of the signal.....this one works better than the standard 5 dbi and 9 dbi...i havent tride all their product yet tho go to www.alfa.com.tw

Its a high-powered omni-directional wifi antenna that connects to the USB port on your PC or Mac and offers better reception to nearby networks. If you use the antenna in a vertical position then it will be omni-directional. If you use the antenna in a horizontal position then it will be more directional. Imagine the antenna in a vertical orientation, the signal (send and receive) pattern extruding from the antenna would look like a pancake. If you orient the antenna horizontally then the signal pattern will be like a pancake set up on its edge. You would then need to point the broad side directly at the wifi network to gain the best signal. ..its not exactly a pancake pattern, but close enough for the analogy...

Not knowing your area and what direction there coming from..that's a hard one to answer. In my case I have the antenna pointed to are main tower in S.F bay area @ 287 degrees and it's picking up low power 2-7 channels hd signals from 30 miles away in TWO another directions!!. As an installer for Dish and Direct tv That's fantastic and picture is super clear and no "DROP OUTS" from the weak lower channels here. I'm impresseed . Best 40.00 I ever spent on TV....The secret of this antenna over others I've tried is the "rabbit like ears" this one has. There perfect for low channel bands like 2-9 that are mostly low power signals.

I suggest only using this for a router to boost outgoing signal. It's size cannot help any more in increasing incoming signal then a normal 9dbi antenna can bring in due to the power it can use to receive signal. Connected to a router it can put out very good signal when pointed in the right direction. As per what Javier said, it is best used outside. Mine came wrapped fairly well, only one minor scratch and it was in good working condition.Sorry I couldn't help with this sooner but I only noticed the email notification for this subject today.

Better than average, but as with all things this depends on how thick the wall is, is the wall reinforced with rebar, etc. It will certainly do a lot better than your standard WiFi hardware, especially if you crank the power up. If that's not enough, replace one or both antennas with directional antennas that focus the signal in the direction you need...

It is very directional, which helps by sending most of the signal where ever it is pointed at. teamed up with the Amped wireless high power router, able to point at my other building for good signal 100 ft and inside the building another 30 ft.

Although I can't find the specifics for this card, other areas on ASUS's site rate their stock dipole antenna's (which appears to be the same for this card) at 3dBi.

These are client antennas thats connects to a access points, however, these can also be us as accesspoint that rebroadcast the signal but in a one direction only

It depends of the software of the router whether it wants to use which radio to connect to a device. But if just the AD14EX is the only antenna it will only pick up the signal in the direction it is pointing at.
