Can I use the included OUTDOOR antenna for an INDOOR antenna instead of the black desktop antenna and get a Yagi antenna (304475) for the OUTDOOR antenna instead?

I am intrigued as to why, but there does not seem to be a technical reason why not just so long as your antenna has line of site to the towers, and the outdoor antenna can operate okay indoor. I would definitely test it first, i.e. ask for a 15 to 30 day period of return.

- The outside antenna will not work inside, as it is a 75 ohm rated antenna, and it attaches with a 75 ohm RG6 cable.. Your black indoor antenna is a 50 ohm antenna and attaches with an SMA connector. You can purchase 75 ohm to 50 ohm converters but they cost as much as another antenna. Yes adapters are available to make the appropriate physical connector, but they are not the correct ohm design for the system. Indoor panel antennas, 50 ohm rated, have a Type N connector on them, and can be used for an inside antenna, you would need the correct adapter, unless Wilson is producting an indoor one with an SMA now.

You can swap out the outdoor antenna with your Yagi antenna. It is the standard coax size. The indoor is the smaller coax that you see on usb antennas. You can get cables that convert between the two but I don't know if you would want that much power directed inside the house. When I have mine turned on, I have coverage throughout the entire house with the small antenna.

The antenna is interchangeable. I replaced it with another from amazon and got some improvement. It still skips on rare occasion, and really only connects well in the same room as the receivwr

This is only an antenna with no electronics, such as an amplifier, so logically it should replace any other antenna. It has a coax connector. I do not have any first-hand knowledge or information about using it on any other unit.

It depends on what you are trying to use it for. You will experience some signal lose, the antenna is designed to be used outside and will work the best that way.

The Hawking antenna has what's called an N type connector on it; if I recall correctly, the end on the antenna's pigtail is a female N. I used a 20-foot-ling Hawking HAC20N cable for my installation; this comes with a male N on one end and a female N on the other. Amazon also sells the HAC10N (10 ft.) and HAC30N (30 ft.). For best results, use the shortest cable that will connect the antenna to your router; the longer the cable, the more signal loss there will be due to inherent and unavoidable electrical resistance. You will also need an adapter to connect the cable to one of the antenna connectors on your router. On my desktop's wireless adapter, and *probably* on your router too (but verify this first before buying an adapter), this is a much smaller connector confusingly called a "reverse female SMA". Since my recollection of the "gender" of the N connector on the pigtail is possibly faulty, and since I don't care to climb the outside building wall again for another look, I suggest receiving the antenna and cable first. Put them together, note the "gender" of the leftover end, and search online for an appropriate adapter to fit both that end and your router's reverse female SMS connector. This will help prevent ordering the wrong kind of adapter, which is easy to do. Once received, this adapter, only two inches or so long, simply threads on. Your router has three separate stick antennas, one for each bandwidth used; choose one, unscrew the stick, and thread on the adapter. You may wish to try the cable for a while on each of the three router connectors to find which gives you the best overall performance.

Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

I live in a city where broadcast is less than 20 miles. You may need an outdoor antenna...

The antenna will not work with my wilson sleek with out a Different connector on it.

I'm not aware of anyone using an antenna designed for a Wifi card attached to a Desktop being used outdoors for any reason, I would ask why someone would want to expose a desktop Wifi antenna to weather of any kind, especially weather involving static? I believe this question answers itself.... then again, perhaps using for it purposes other than it's original intent is at play..........

I don't know. Most things electronic these seem to be fcc compliant.I do know it's very fussy machine and helps to be aimed at the tower or a tower if possible. I had a wilson Yaggi antenna(high quality) and still the signal in my area was hit or miss

I went with a quad band antenna from ebay. Fixed to a boot mount on mast on house. Couldn't afford a home base antenna.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

The antenna that comes with is is an indoor antenna. You will need outdoor antenna for outdoor use. The antenna supplied will not hold up to the outdoor elements. The system works flawless. It has exceeded my expectations.

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.
