Hello, anyone compared the ACSWI/ACSWIM antennas? How do they compare to third party, D-link, TP-link, Sweex etc. Why Mikrotik orginal antennas are so short I mean 11cm come on it can’t be 4dbi, 3dbi at best.
I got these antennas because I could not source alternatives locally, but it seems I made a mistake purchasing them.
I have R52nm in my mikrotik but my link quality is not very good (3bars best) 2 walls from router, I’m considering to upgrade the wifi card to R52HN but given the fact that 52HN has 7W power draw compared to 2W for R52nm I’m thinking maybe I should upgade the antennas first?
The stock antennas ACSWI / ACSWIM are nice because you do not need to use pigtail adapter and loose yet another about 1dbi.
Is it true that dual band antennas are crap and I need single band 2.4ghz antenna instead even same 4dbi gain will be way better?
Who makes nice dualband antennas like mikrotik but 6dbi, 7dbi or 8dbi and up to 22-30cm in lenght? I would prefer not to loose the dual band thing, because antennas are not cheap and 5ghz is interference free where I live, the only problem that my older devices does not support 5ghz so I can’t use it for now.
Some specs are way off like every antenna has 50W max power rating
After this I doubt you can trust other specifications as that can be a typo too… but they are cheap 5-7Eur.
