I see.

So

This 5MW one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/171907612288

And this 5.8MW one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/222605454974

And this 6MW one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/171907483813

Are all 2.4GHz.

And I probably shouldn't really use any of them then. :/




If you are using them in the US to transmit at their full power in a point-to-multipoint system, they are not legal.

They would be legal for a point-to-point setup, since they achieve their high EIRP due to high antenna gain (as opposed to high output power). But also due to that high gain, they're not really useful for anything but point-to-point (think backhaul between buildings).

You could also use them legally and usefully as a client (pointed at an AP) if you turn the power down so that the EIRP is 4 W (36 dB). You'd still benefit from the high antenna gain in the receiving direction (though not in the transmitting direction, which includes TCP ACKs).
