Basebox 2 as wlan repeater

Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:05 pm

I just bought ocassionally Basebox 2. I want to use it as WLAN repeater. I couldn't find any info about it. Is this even possible without additional wireless card? And if not what do you recommend to buy. I want it to be as cheap as possible.

Thanks, I'm testing it right now.

Yet still I don't really know why it has 2 antenna connectors. Are they for chains maybe?

Yeah, thanks...

As I said before, I found nothing, maybe excluding basic information about it. I still don't know why there are two antenna connectors. I know that I can add mini pci card and make dual band device, but that doesn't answer my question.

Anyway, I tried setting it with station-bridge and pseudobridge, not working. I'm trying to not use WDS, because I'm not sure if there is WDS where I want to install it.
