Radiochannel between 2 RB751U - external Antennas don't work

Hello, everybody!

I have made a bridge between two RB751U-2HnD. Everything works fine, two areas are connected.

During a test with internal antennas, I have transferred an 4Gb *.iso file from next room at speed of 45Mbits.

Then, when I’ve brought one of RB751U to a remote location (approx. 80 meters with direct visibility), the speed dropped to 4Mbits.

I have connected an external AC SWIM antennas, switched to “antenna b”, turn on both “chain 1” chekmarks and LEFT both “chain 0” chekmarks. I have increased the TX Power to 19. The speed drops to 1Mbit.

When I turned off both “chain 0”, and left only both “chain 1” the connection stopped.

It seems to me, then the external antennas don’t work. Could you please tell me, what most likely could be the problem?

Many thanks in advance!
