Would a larger antenna make signal stronger? I have a asus 9dbi antenna and was curious if it would help? It is a few years old. Which antenna does the 5ghz?

Also my utorrent doesn't work since getting this router, fix?

Thanks.

High Gain Directional Antenna help a lot outdoor with clear line of sight.

Indoor it does very little.

High Gain Omni Antenna does a little outdoor and very very little indoor

In any case, since the specific environment is more crucial variable than the Antenna there is No definite answer but trying.



:cool:

Is it also on in your torrent program? If it is and still not working you might want to turn it off and forward the needed ports. The program should tell you what ports it needs as it can vary.
