Will my rosewill indoor antenna malfunction now that it is placed outdoors?

[happygoluffy]

Hi, I have the Rosewill RNX-A5-EX. My connection is so much better outside. I put it in its orriginal box coverred it a garbage bag and have it outside. Rain shouldnt be a problem and it seems to be doing ok with the current temperatures. It's made for indoors though, can an antenna malfunction at freezing temperatures?

It may not have any problems now, but its overall lifespan will be shorter.

i could see heat and excessive wind/debris becoming a problem in the future.

I see, well its worth the sacrifice as my mbps have tripled. I wasn't worried about heat, mostly the cold, it can get pretty cold in Montreal. As far as moisture goes I think my setup is air tight. Considering this, antennas are just metal right, I don't think there are electronic parts or anything.

how much did you pay for it? i know rosewill makes good products for cheap. so considering you situation i actually wouldnt worry about it. although wild animals like raccoons might mess with it.

Your right, it was pretty cheap 18.99 plus shipping. Its been outdoors for over a month and have survived rain, no freezin yet though so that should be interesting. It's on the third floor I don't think animals will bother with it.

As long as its not wet when it gets freezing, it should do fine.
