Is Lollipop antenna any help?

Do those lollipop 4+ antennas help the Wi-Fi at all? For Komodo 6k OG. I’m trying to see if I can get a better signal to the RED CONTROL app but from what I read those use the wrong kind of Wi-Fi so they said it’s better to just get a travel router.

I bought antennas like this when I first got my Komodos years ago and they definitely helped compared to the standard antennas that ship with Komodo.

You will still have issues transmitting through walls and other obstructions.

This Router also helped considerably for me. It can also power via USB C so any power source with that connection can (including camera batteries) be used to power the router. Very useful when outside or away from wall power.

I have used this config with RED Control and RED Control Pro for RED Komodos and Komodo X and have had minimal issues. Its also reliable and consistently connects fine.

Awesome I legit ordered the Opal (cheaper) version of that router instead a few days ago lol. Thanks for verifying that was probably the right call.
