WRT004ANT-EU Overview
With a dual-band, omni-directional design, the high-gain antennas expand wireless coverage.
LINKSYS HIGH-GAIN ANTENNAS
High-Gain Wireless Antennas offer an easy way to expand your wireless network's coverage. These antennas are equipped with our omni-directional broadcast technology, which amplifies the signal strength of your Wi-Fi devices to deliver more wireless range and performance across the horizontal plane. This makes them ideal for large, single-story households that need a strong Wi-Fi signal.
DUAL-BAND PERFORMANCE FOR IMPROVED CONNECTIONS
Featuring Dual-Band support, these High Gain Antennas can increase the signal to multiple devices connected to your network. Each of the High-Gain Antennas delivers up to 4dBi on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 7dBi on the 5 GHz band, offering up to 2X the antenna gain over stock antennas.
EASY TO ATTACH
Compatible with any wireless device that uses a RP-SMA connection, these premium antennas are easy to use and install. Simply detach your router or Wi-Fi device's stock antennas and screw our antennas into place--you'll immediately enjoy wider coverage throughout your home or office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 7 dBi gain of the Linksys WRT004ANT improve wireless signal range? +
The 7 dBi gain provides a significantly higher concentrated signal compared to standard stock antennas. By focusing the radio energy more effectively, this omni-directional antenna extends the reach and reliability of your wireless network, ensuring better penetration through obstacles and improved coverage in larger open areas where standard antennas may struggle to maintain a stable link.
Is the Linksys WRT004ANT compatible with all routers featuring RP-SMA connectors? +
Yes, this antenna utilizes the standard RP-SMA interface, making it compatible with a broad range of consumer and prosumer networking equipment. While it is designed specifically for Linksys WRT-series routers, it functions with any wireless device that uses an RP-SMA jack, provided the device supports external antenna upgrades and operates within the appropriate frequency spectrum.
What is the benefit of using an omni-directional antenna versus a directional one? +
An omni-directional antenna like the WRT004ANT transmits and receives signals in a 360-degree horizontal pattern. This makes it the ideal choice for central deployment scenarios where you need to distribute wireless connectivity to devices located in all directions around the router, rather than focusing the signal toward a specific, isolated point in your facility.
Can I use the WRT004ANT outdoors for my patio Wi-Fi? +
The WRT004ANT is primarily engineered for indoor deployment environments. While it offers superior performance compared to factory-issued antennas, it lacks the rugged, weather-sealed enclosure required for outdoor exposure. We recommend keeping it in a controlled, dry environment to maintain signal integrity and ensure the longevity of the hardware components.
How does the physical design of the WRT004ANT affect mounting options? +
The antenna features a flexible swivel base, allowing you to articulate the position for optimal signal orientation. Whether your router is mounted on a desk or a shelf, you can adjust the angle of the antenna to compensate for physical obstructions, ensuring that the radiation pattern is correctly aligned with your target client devices throughout your space.
Do I need to reconfigure my router settings after installing the WRT004ANT? +
No software configuration changes are required to utilize this antenna. Since the WRT004ANT acts as a physical hardware upgrade, your router will automatically continue its standard operation once the antenna is threaded onto the RP-SMA port. Simply power down your device, swap the antennas, and resume operation to notice the immediate improvement in your wireless signal strength.
Why is a 7 dBi antenna preferred over lower gain stock antennas? +
Standard antennas that come with home routers are usually low-gain units meant for basic proximity coverage. By upgrading to a 7 dBi unit, you effectively increase the signal-to-noise ratio. This results in fewer packet drops, faster data transmission speeds at greater distances, and a more robust connection for bandwidth-heavy applications like streaming or video conferencing.
Is the WRT004ANT suitable for multi-floor home or office networking? +
This antenna is highly effective for improving coverage in multi-floor environments. Because it broadcasts in a circular pattern, positioning your router centrally allows the signal to propagate both vertically and horizontally. This helps overcome the signal degradation often experienced when wireless waves have to pass through floor joists or heavy furniture to reach clients on different levels.
