not sure i really follow here. can dbi and dbm be compared? or are they different ways of describing the power output of a antenna.<br />
<br />
linksys say their antenna that comes boxed wiv the wap11 is 13dbm. i have found a corner reflectin antenna, that is 9dbi. how can i compare these ratings?<br />
<br />
what is the dbi of the antennas on the wap11?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
does anybody gnow the difference between dbi and dbm. linksys insist on tellin me that the 2 antennas supplied with their wap11 are 15dbm, when everybody describe the output power in dbi. for example a corner reflectin antenna, is 9dbi and has a 75 degree beamwidth one way and 65 the other way.<br />
<br />
gnow am i bein confused here deliberatly by linksys, cos they are very very stingy on technical details regardin the wap11. and i recall someone mentionin that the antennas wiv the wap11 are about 1.2 dbi each.<br />

what is the difference between dbm and dbi

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
