It also depends on the router.  Although I don't understand your question completely.

No, that's not how it works

 

If you're looking for a robust wifi solution, I'd recommend the UniFi AP by Ubiquiti

https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap/

They even have longer range access points.

 

I've had mine for about a year now & have had no issues at all with signal strength, connection speed, etc.

simple words: i had a wifi with 20 dbi antenna if i change the antennas from my new one ill have full signal again?

[JefferyD90]

can you explain why?

It cant hurt, but most of the time the antenna's aren't interchangeable.

but the prob is to the antennas why to buy access point? when i can upgrade to more powerfull also my router is the default i dont want to spend so much money i live in greece i get 17mbits download and 0.9 upload sh*t so why to bother to buy such an equipment for such a low speeds? i dont have even vdsl i have adsl

yes but the prob is with my old wifi it had 20dbi and i had all the bars full signal the new one dont have that powerfull antennas it have 3 antennas 2dbi  so 3x2=6 dbi

+ Your sh*t internet might get a speed boost from the company in a year for the same price

+ Way better network reliability

+ Faster local transfers?

+ Scalable

+ You can add 99 more of them if you decide to buy a mansion

You can't add dbi like that

[JefferyD90]

the bar's don't mean anything.

[Prince32780]

the bar's don't mean anything.

 

Yes they do, they indicate signal strength

lol mansion but anyway thanks for help also no i dont think so  about increase speeds

[proud greek]

well if you buy more powerfull antennas t you can add more dbi

[JefferyD90]

Yes they do, they indicate signal strength

In comparison to what?  You do realize that the driver controls the top end and low end of the signal strength right?  Are your transfer speeds any different?

lol i read that under your quote and i feel lame -----FYI: Use proper English on all post.  This is a forum not a instant messaging program, shorthand just makes it hard to read.-----

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.

Yes they do, they indicate signal strength

What "full strength" and "no signal" mean are mostly arbitrary amd set by the hardware manufacturer and/or driver developer. There can be situations where what one device calls a 5/5 signal is actually very weak, and what another calls 2/5 bars is actually very strong. You might change drivers from the Microsoft default to the one provided by the actual manufacturer of the adaptor and see the number of bars change. Therefore the number of bars is unreliable for comparisons except when you are looking at jsut the list of available networks.
