How to Upgrade your Antenna

Upgrading your antenna can provide more range and distance for different types of

wireless applications. The Amped Wireless High Power USB Adapter is compatible with

any High Gain 2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna with a RP-SMA connector. Simply unscrew the original

antenna and screw on the upgraded antenna for more range and distance. For more

information on High Gain antennas visit the Amped Wireless website.

Using the Adapter with only One USB Connector

The High Power 600mW USB Adapter features two USB connectors for providing the

maximum performance through the power of two USB ports. However, in the case that

you wish to only use one USB connection, simply insert only the USB connector labeled

“PRIMARY.” For full range and performance the USB connector labeled “

AMPED

” must

also be inserted.
