Comments from the Austin Mesh Community

Solid antenna, though the price increase ($25->60) over the last 3 years is regrettable. A solid option for outdoor installs where high gain fits your needs. Remember though that 8dBi is a lot of gain, and you're likely better off sitting around 3-6. We generally steer people towards Rokland antennas in this price range.
