forumer review: 14dbi panel directional vs 16dbi yagi at 1KM

testing devices:
a) buffalo router as signal transmitter
b) 1000mW usb wifi adapter as signal receiver
c) directional antenna: 14dbi panel DIY stock, 16dbi yagi.

2）This buffalo device as signal source.






















3） Signal transmitted from here：





















4） Receiving point at here:



















5） Bird-eye view： range ~ 1.08 KM, not fully open space, partially obstructed by buildings in between， 15 tilt degree。















6) Horizontal view.



















7） Result： very little differences in terms of signal level between 14dbi panel vs 16dbi yagi. As such, tester recommended 14dbi panel for its compact size, easy handling and its dbi/price/performance ratio.
