802.11n range with single antenna

Will 802.11n give a better/farther range coverage compare to 802.11b/g when use a single antenna on the module that function as a client?

Assume the AP will support 802.11b/g/n.

  • Hi Brandon,

    Working with 802.11n single antenna will not give a higher range than 802.11g.

    However it will give a higher throughput since the packet rates are higher and in addition BA (Ack per Block and not per frame – packet aggregation) contributes to higher over all link throughputs.

    802.11n has a higher range only when using MIMO (Several Antennas)
