I purchased this antenna to enable WiFi for my security cameras. I could’ve just hardwired it to the router but there were several obstacles. I wasn’t aware this was even an option, so what great time saver. Basically “plug & play”.
The antenna is very well make and easily installed.
Best Buy definitely had the best price and availability (hence the name). I ordered online and received this in about 3 days.
My 4K security camera pictures are super clear and crisp. I actually stretched out an Ethernet cable ( 30 feet)to see it there was a difference in picture quality. I couldn’t see a difference at all. So no cable required.
If you have a similar situation, this antenna will solve your problem.

Do not buy this junk. If antenna losses signal for 2 sec you need to manually connect again. Swann software do not automatically connect to Wi-Fi. Every single time you need to do it manually. Insane. I just spoke with Swann support.
My router 10 feet away.
