Hey everyone. The adapter supports 802.11 n and can operate in monitor mode. But it only shows gains between 2-5 dBi. Can we swap out its antenna for a higher-gain model, like 14 dBi, and then enable monitor mode with that new range?

The updated antenna operates as intended.

USB converters, particularly compact models, often fall short because of restrictions imposed by USB technology and the constraints on space and cooling for the radio components.
