Selection for 2.4 Ghz device on longer distance

Fri Apr 23, 2021 8:35 am

Hello
Hope you are all fine.
I want to setup 2.4Ghz WiFi wireless network for mobile phone users in 500 meter distance 360 degree omni.
I'm confused about selecting 2.4Ghz models. I mentioned below:
Grove A 52
Grove A 52 ac
Metal 52 ac
mANTbox 2 12s

Tell me which device is best for full fill user needs.
In 360 degree omni in 500 meter distance

People who have experienced with 2.4Ghz and currently running wifi network on 2.4ghz encourage to post comments and SHARE their experience

Thanks :)

mobile phone internal wifi probably are unable to transmit at 100/200 meter distance on perfectly clear environment and on LOS
if the ap is on top is the worst situation, it must be near the same height of the phone (omnidirectional pattern is like donut)

the 52 model can transmit only at one frequency at once except the new mantbox 5+2 (at 2,4GHz have 90° antenna)

groove are surclassed from metal

you can put any N-connector-antenna on metal than the default 6db

metal can have any type of antenna than the "default" 360°

mANTbox 2 12s have 120° antenna

3x mANTbox 2 have better coverage (20Mhz / channel 1-6-11)

one metal is less expensive

Please don't confuse me...
100 to 200 meter distance for Grove and Metal?
How much distance for mANTbox 2 12s 120degrees
Just recommend me one device.
If this 360 or 120 doesn't matters
mANTbox 3
Grove
Or
Metal
Tell me one?

It's impossible to give exact distance.

I can successfully connect my smartphone at 1,2Km from Metal on free of other 2.4 wifi environment (Alcatel 1S).

My preferences go to mANTbox 2 12s for open space. (mANTbox 52 if I want both 2,4GHz and 5,3GHz)

The true differencies are on the antenna and power of device connected.

You can be "heard" at 1 Km, but if smartphone is unable to reply with sufficient power, the link is impossible.
