Silverstone recently released a set of networking accessories to help users who want to upgrade their home networks due to performance and connectivity issues. The WA219 and WAD17 are two of Silverstone’s new high gain Wi-Fi antennas. The WAB1B is a Wi-Fi base made with a gold-plated jack and plug, and according to Silverstone, it’s ideal for optimal antenna placement and range extension.
The WA219 high gain antenna offers 2.4~2.5 GHz 9dBi dipole, whereas the WAD17 offers 2.4~2.5 GHz 5dBi and 5.1~5.8 GHz 7dBi dipole. Both antennas use an SMA plug RP connector and are compatible with other antenna-using network devices on the market.
Additional Specs for the WA219:
- Polarization -Linear Vertical
- VSWR – ≤1.6:1
- Impedance – 50 Ω
- Net Weight – 40 g
