So, I have the SXT G-2HnD that I am eventually going to setup as a simple AP to extend the range to my external building. In the interim, I am trying to just hook it up to my laptop as an external antenna with more range. Is this possible?
Of course it is. There are several ways you can do this, but the Quickset feature will make it a little easier for you. Try using it in the CPE mode.
