- What does the J8442A antenna do?
- It is an indoor omnidirectional antenna with diversity for compatible HP ProCurve access points. It spreads signal around a room and gives a compatible AP a second antenna path to reduce dead spots.
- Which access points does it fit?
- It is built for ProCurve access points that accept this antenna connector and support diversity. Check your AP model's antenna specification before buying, since connectors differ across lines.
- Is 2 dBi enough gain?
- 2 dBi is low gain, chosen for broad room coverage rather than long reach. It suits covering a room around the AP, not bridging a long distance or covering a large open floor.
- Is it for indoor use only?
- Yes. It is an indoor antenna, so it is not built for outdoor mounting or weather exposure.
- Does it come with a cable or mount?
- The product is the antenna itself. Confirm with the seller what mounting parts, if any, are included before you buy.
