not even.

types include all sorts of; array beam, biconical, butterfly,
cantenna, coaxial, corner reflector, dipole, discone, dish,
helical beam, parabolic, yagi-uda beam.

but the are not inexpensive.

"home brew", aka, amateur radio, built directional antennas, covering
above types, can be had at 20% and less of commercial.

i have well over 100, if not over 200, bookmarks covering antennas
of various frequencies and types, and how to build them.

there are even pages on youtube that show how.

my favorite is 'end fire' helical because it is easy to build, great
gain, very directional, very good in multi array, left/right turn
circular polarized, works well with omnidirectional when 'in sight'.

something to remember about the 'standard' omnidirectional antenna
that is supplied with most all wifi cards and routers, is the antenna
if really nothing more than the proverbial "rubber ducky", which is a
form of helical, but 'side fires'. they are inexpensive to make, short,
and do not easily break.
