HSB2 Overview
Boost your Wireless Signal and Distance by up to 600%
The Hawking Technologies' Wireless Signal Booster is a high performance, range extending wireless solution for your home or business network. The award winning Hawking WiFi Signal Booster increases the output power of a wireless signal by up to 600%. A standard wireless device has a peak output power of around 70mW. The Hi-Gain Signal Booster is capable of pumping out 500mW of wireless distance extending power. The Hawking Hi-Gain WiFi Signal Booster attaches to the antenna connector of certified wireless devices Plug and play installation makes the Signal Booster easy to setup. Simply unscrew the original wireless antenna on the certified device and screw on the connector cable of the Signal Booster. Not only does the WiFi Signal Booster increase wireless distance, it also boosts the performance of wireless networks. By extending the overall distance of a network, the HSB2 increases the overall speed of data transmissions throughout the network. Utilizing signal filters, the HSB2 minimizes any wireless interference within the network. The advanced signal filters clean the wireless signals emitted by the wireless device to ensure a interference free environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Hawking HSB2 improve my current wireless network range? +
The HSB2 is designed to enhance your existing 802.11b/g wireless network by replacing your current antenna with a higher-gain solution. By concentrating the signal more effectively than standard omnidirectional antennas, it helps bridge gaps in coverage and reduces dead zones in residential or small office environments where traditional signals might otherwise struggle to penetrate.
Is the HSB2 compatible with all routers that have detachable antennas? +
This antenna is compatible with most wireless routers, access points, or network adapters that utilize a standard reverse-polarity SMA connector. Before installation, verify that your existing networking equipment features a removable antenna port. It serves as a direct, passive replacement to boost transmission efficiency for legacy 802.11b/g devices operating in the 2.4GHz frequency band.
What is the physical gain rating of the Hawking HSB2 antenna? +
The HSB2 provides a 2 dBi gain rating. While modest, this increase over a standard dipole antenna helps to focus your wireless energy more efficiently within your workspace. This specific gain level is ideal for users looking to stabilize their connection without the complex beamforming or extreme directional requirements of higher-gain, long-range outdoor antenna arrays.
Will the HSB2 antenna function with modern 802.11ax or Wi-Fi 6 routers? +
The Hawking HSB2 is specifically engineered for the 802.11b/g standards. While it physically connects to most RP-SMA ports found on modern hardware, it is not optimized for the higher frequency bands and complex MIMO configurations used by 802.11ax. For optimal performance with Wi-Fi 6 equipment, you should use antennas explicitly tuned for current dual-band or tri-band standards.
Does this antenna require any software drivers or configuration changes? +
This is a passive hardware component and requires no software, firmware updates, or driver installations. Simply power down your router, unscrew your existing antenna, and thread the Hawking HSB2 onto the connector. Once securely attached, you can reboot your device, and the antenna will immediately begin functioning as a physical extension of your router’s wireless radio.
Can the HSB2 be used for outdoor signal distribution? +
The HSB2 is intended for indoor use. Its construction is not rated for exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, or UV radiation found in outdoor environments. To maintain the structural integrity and signal performance of the device, it should be kept in a climate-controlled setting, such as a home office or internal server room, away from direct environmental elements.
How does the 2 dBi gain affect the signal radiation pattern? +
The 2 dBi gain provides an omnidirectional radiation pattern. This means the signal is broadcast evenly in a 360-degree horizontal radius around the antenna. It is an excellent choice for central locations where you need to provide consistent wireless access to multiple client devices scattered throughout various rooms on the same floor level.
Why is my signal strength not increasing significantly after installation? +
Signal performance is influenced by several factors beyond the antenna itself, including structural interference, wall thickness, and distance from the router. If you do not see a noticeable improvement, ensure the connection at the RP-SMA port is tight and that the antenna is positioned vertically. Physical obstructions like metal cabinets or thick concrete walls will always impede wireless performance regardless of antenna gain.
