Improve Your AirPort Base Station Range With a Ceiling Mounted Antenna

T he folks at MacWireless have added a new Ceiling AirPort Antenna to their offerings, designed to provide maximum coverage in a room and to floors beneath it.

The 6 dBi antenna, which replaces the AirPortis built-in antenna, mounts to the ceiling, ideally alongside your ceiling-mounted (or close to it) AirPort Base Station.

"Why put an AirPort antenna on the ceiling? For the same reason we put lights on the ceiling - the coverage is great. Excellent for broadening coverage on the floor the antenna is installed on, as well as extending the wireless signal to floors below," the MacWireless Web site explains.

The Ceiling Antenna is available now for $119.98 and is compatible with all AirPort Base Stations.
