The _minimum_ you appear to need is 6 dB of additional gain. I'd
recommend trying for 10 dB or more in order to ensure a reliable
connection.

May I ask WHERE that 6 dBd of gain is coming from?

Is it ONLY from the "better" antenna?

If that additional 6 dBd is coming from a "better" antenna, then why didn't
they put that better antenna on my router in the first place?

Since the antenna isn't "powerered", there is no external amplifier .... so
I am a bit confused as to WHERE that power is coming from?

Can you unconfusify me here?
