Now I need to extend the wireless coverage to the other part of the office. I was wondering instead of adding another AP, should I just buy a high dBi antenna to extend the coverage? If the answer is yes, which Cisco's indoor antenna has strongest signal? </P> Sat, 03 Jul 2021 21:27:47 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/add-more-ap-or-change-antenna-for-bigger-coverage/m-p/751411#M137381 springman 2021-07-03T21:27:47Z Re: Add more AP or change antenna for bigger coverage? https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/add-more-ap-or-change-antenna-for-bigger-coverage/m-p/751412#M137382 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A high Dbi antenna will not help with user load on the AP.
