# Can I use my own antenna instead of the included antenna?

Absolutely! You have the option to enhance the Wi-Fi range by using a stronger dBi antenna of your choice. Just ensure that the antenna you select has a male RP-SMA connector. Please note that the antenna included with the Bridge is rated at 3 dBi.

Feel free to explore this option to optimize your Wi-Fi coverage.
