Does anyone know which connectors are used in the hex ac? They aren't the normal mmcx. I need to attach external antennas and I can't seem to figure out what they are.

Thanks in advance.

1) hEX is an ethernet only device, you probably mean hAP ac (hAP = home AP)

2) they are not connectors, they are test points for factory. There are no antenna connectors on this device

I did mean hAP AC.

As for test points... ouch. looks like I have some soldering to do

There is nowhere to solder to

There is nowhere to solder to

I think he means replace the test points with smd UFL connectors. The test point solder pads do match up. Of course this voids the warranty and breaks FCC rules.

Now now... I would never break those rules!
Besides, it's an international version anyway.
I keep it within the legal specs - for this project, I just want to put the unit into a steal case and have 3x 3dBi antennas poking out.

If I was a hobbyist, I might try some of these.

Those may just work. I'll have to grab a micrometer and see if the solder points will line up on the board.

I just added two external antennas to my HAP AC.

It just needs a careful removal of the hot glue above the U.FL connectors of 2GHz-ch2 and 5GHz-ch2.
First I warmed it up a bit to remove the U.FL connector of the internal antenna.
Then I carefully pulled it from the PCB to make room for the external antenna u.fl connectors.

I added an external 6dBi antenna to 5GHz-ch2 and a 12dBi external antenna ( 2 meters long ) connected to 2GHz-ch2.
