Looking for outdoor omni "whip" antenna for 2.4 GHz.
Whip antenna? What is this, for a vehicle? For a stationary location it
seems like it'd be an extremely bad idea to use an antenna that 'whipped'
around.
Is there any reason to not go for the greatest gain antenna, given that
cost
is not too important (within reason)?
Alligator effect. Wide mouth receiving everything. If you don't need to
pickup everything then why bother? It just makes it harder for your WiFi
router to cut through all the noise of distant stations it doesn't
communicate with. Get the right antenna suited for your installation, no
more, no less.
Which leads to the constant request, when you ask a question POST WHAT GEAR
YOU'RE USING.
In your case it would also help to define what sort of connection you're
trying to make. Point to point, metropolitan, etc.
