Best Wi-Fi antenna

I did a search and nothing came up. So any recommendations or links to other threads would be appreciated.

There have been several threads in the last year or so. My search turned up these.

HINT. Search for wifi without the hyphen.

Thank you so much. I knew there were threads, and knew there was a reason the search didn't work!

I will give one piece of advice.. Contrary to what some of the threads say, DO NOT mount the antenna at your mast. You want the antenna adjustable as different onshore WIFI devices will have different beam patterns.

Sometimes I lower my antenna just one foot and the number of access point I see doubles. The number of points I see at my mast is ALWAYS way less than I see at about spreader height. The only time that top of the mast seems to help, is when doing extreme long range (over 5 miles) over clear water .
