NetMetal 5 as AP ... which antennas are ok/leaky feeder?

Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:56 am

Hi,

I'm really keen on using some of the NetMetal 5's as access points. Am I ok just directly attaching a set of omni antenna's (i.e. the normal home router style ones) or is that going to be a problem from a power/proximity perspective?

Second question ... I'm also looking at the potential of using leaky feeder to cover a fairly large floor area (from the loft space.) I am assuming that for dual-chain I would just need to run two sets of cable ... does this work, do they have to be parallel, and do you still get the dual-chain benefits, or am I better just using multiple AP's with normal antennas?

Thanks,

Lee.
