antenna only generate the horizontal signals when the antenna body is vertical
to the ground to cover the horizontal environment like home/ office.

Ceiling mount
The special ceiling mount feature is mainly recommended to be used when
your wireless base stations are hidden over the ceiling or some kind of
anti-theft protection cases. So that your base stations are ‘invisible’ and
signals can still be effectively transmitted through the external antenna.

Recommended devices to connect with this antenna
Wireless base stations with antenna detachable feature:
As a matter of broadcasting your wireless signals to your home/ office
environments to get wider or longer coverage, the antenna generates wide,
omni directional signals to cover your home/ office environments.
WANRING:

need to purchase another one or more to replace the default antennas.
Antenna stand
QIG-ED-DB-0507-V1 9
WANRING:
If your wireless base stations already have good position, you can only
replace the antenna without the antenna stand. And if the wireless base
stations have bad positions, where the signals may be blocked, just try
to connect alone with the antenna stand to pick up better signals.
PCI adaptor for desktop PC
Normally the host of your desktop PC will be remained underneath the desk or
just next to the walls and partitions; such deployments might block wireless
signal routes and sometimes cause unsatisfied link quality. The external
antenna with 1meter extensible cable which generates omni directional signals,
you can set up the antenna to where the antenna can “see” the wireless base
station, which is to pick up the better connections and link quality.
QIG-ED-DB-0507-V1 10
If you have poor link quality with your current default antennas on the wireless
devices such as AP/ Router/ PCI adaptors, please remove the default antenna
or the low performance antenna which is bundled with the products.
Recommendation:
To purchase another external antenna to connect both the base station and the
client user, the signal could be received and transmitted better than just
connect one.
QIG-ED-DB-0507-V1 11
NOTICE:
Most of desktop PC users in home/ office should be aware of the location of
wireless base stations, to use the external antenna; one can easily get
connected by just re-locating this antenna to where it can “see” the base
station.
Recommended installation positions
This omni directional antenna has a omni directional 360 deg wide angle signal
coverage, which you can use it in the middle of home/ office environments to
increase coverage.
WARNING:
(1) Both sides should be used the same antennas.
(2) There should be no obstacles between the transmission areas
(3) On both the sites, the antennas should be ‘seen’ each other or visible
by naked eye.
(4) Performance estimate based on typical use, range will be varied with
different site conditions.
