One of the key parameters of USB WiFi antennas is the <strong>speed of data transmission<\/strong>. This value informs about the maximum possible data transfer speed between the devices and the connected router. High data transfer speeds are especially important for demanding applications (e.g., for streaming, online gaming and when sending large files).<\/p><h3>Other parameters<\/h3><p>The next important parameter of antennas is the <strong>frequency range<\/strong>. Standard models and older antennas operate only at 2.4 GHz. Modern devices, on the other hand, can operate at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The most important differences between these frequencies are as follows. 5 GHz can provide higher speeds, but has less range. On the other hand, 2.4 GHz has a longer range and penetrates obstacles better, while offering lower data rates. <strong>WiFi standards<\/strong> are another important parameter. The antenna can support standards such as 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax (WiFi 6).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d194ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d194ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Application of WiFi USB antennas<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bc3ad9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bc3ad9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>USB WiFi antennas<\/strong> are used in increasing the <strong>range of a wireless network.<\/strong> They are perfect for places where coverage is poor.

These are methods of securing data transmission between a computer or other device and a wireless network.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">One of them is WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). It is one of the oldest encryption protocols. It uses keys of 64 or 128 bits in length. Nowadays, it is rarely used due to its low level of protection and vulnerability to breaches.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Another protocol is WPA (for WiFi Protected Access), which was temporarily introduced after the low protection level of the WEP protocol was identified. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), a more secure protocol than WEP.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The USB WiFi antenna can also support WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). This is a version of the WPA protocol in which the encryption key is shared before communication with the wireless network is established. This protocol is used, among others. In home and small business networks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The next protocol is WPA2 (for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2). This is an enhanced version of the WPA protocol that uses AES (from the Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption. This is a more secure and advanced protocol compared to TKIP.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Selected WiFi antennas also support WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key). This is a version of WPA2 that uses a shared key. This encryption protocol is used, among others. In home wireless networks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Modern USB WiFi antennas are also compatible with TKIP\/AES protocols. These are two encryption algorithms. TKIP is used in WPA, while AES is used in WPA2. AES is now the standard in modern wireless networks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The differences between the various encryption protocols include not only the level of security, but also the method of encryption.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USB WiFi antennas allow you to connect your computer or other device to a WiFi network via a USB interface.
