Hello, good morning everyone! Could someone please recommend a good directional antenna to use with the NetMetal AX? Can I use the same antennas I use with the NetMetal 5? For example, the MANT30 PA.
The product documentation does not specify which antennas are compatible with the radio.
Thank you.
And when did the model that can operate at 6GHz come out?

Don't tell me you're one of those who confuse LTE's "5G" (5th Generation) with the 5GHz frequency...

So it's an improved version of the 5? It will work with the antennas I already have, right?
Maybe yes, maybe no, the netmetal ax is an ax device (please read as wifi 6) the netmetal5 was an ac device (please read as wifi5), both work on the same 5 GHz frequencies, BUT the netmetal Ax has also a 2.4 GHz radio.
The Mant 30 is/was a 5 GHz antenna only, no idea how it will behave on 2.4 GHz, if you only use the 5Ghz on netmetal Ax it should work just fine.
