You need a UTM/NGFW that can perform:

How long until that finally stops working?

Re: LtAP Mini GPS useless without antenna

GPS device is built in. Antenna needs to be connected externally. I mean, it says that right in your image. Read it please, outside the yellow marked words.

Any chance you added or removed the antenna, while the device was running? Shorting the connector central pin and connector outside, can cause GPS chip to be damaged. This is why you only should add/remove antenna while there is no power (GPS has an active 3V antenna). Software wise, I think it loo...

Re: LtAP Mini GPS useless without antenna

Internal antenna exists and works if you have no miniPCIe module inside or if mounted with ports pointing up.
Surely, most cases will have a module, this is why we mention recommendation for external antenna.
