i don't think it means anything its just a model number ,
and i think it relates to a PC card for wireless , not the antenna

Oh ok. I need one of those to hook my wifi card to an external
antenna... I think. So confusing. I have to read more about antennas.
I'm confused by all the diagrams, and the SMC's, RPSMA's, VSWR's, and
RPTNC's.

if they list anything to do with DB Gain , get the one that has the most

i'm not sure about the , ' i " part ,
but i know bigger Db is better ,
and the tilt is for ,
aiming dead in on the source ,
think like a radar beam ,
or like those lazer lights on a gun ,
anyway , its a beam signal ,
so being able to tilt and rotate the antenna around ,
can be a big advantage in aiming for the best signal

DBi is DB relative to an isotropic antenna. It's a theoretical
antenna that radiates equally in all directions.

no , an antenna that goes in all direction is an omni antenna but it has
Db gain
and beam type antennas are unidirectional and usually have more Db gain
because all the power is concentrated into one direction

Why is it always expressed as a negative number? Like -7, -12...I was
tempted to pick up an omni-directional booster at CompUSA because it was
on sale, open-box - but it was missing the proper connector adapter for
my base station and I didn't know if the -7 Linksys one was better than
the other brand at -10 since they were negative #'s.

What's usually called an omni antenna doesn't go in all directions, it
has a beam pattern shaped like a donut. It radiates in all directions
in a plane, but has nothing off the end.
The isotropic antenna radiates in every direction. It also does not
really exist, it is only used as a reference. What is called an omni
antenna will have about 3DB gain over an isotropic antenna.

an omni goes in all directions ,
