Will MikroTik sell external antennas for RB751, or is that something I have to buy somewhere else? Can I use this Cisco AIR-ANT3351? What I need to know is how many MMCX connector RB751 has.
It seems that neither of them will help me - I need “female RP-SMA to MMCX” to connect chosen antenna (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2-4ghz-11dbi-sma-omnidirectional-wifi-antenna-47783), which I cannot find There are only cables (pigtails), not adapters and I’d like to connect antenna without any cable. Perhaps I have to find an antenna with SMA (not reversed RP-SMA) connector
This is the reason, why i didn’t replace my tp-link 1043 with rb751.
I bought 751, tested and sold it away.
Although it is the same chipset, but tp-link is less professional but more usable.
…and I thought that an antenna with mmcx connector should be considered “special”…
Most of antennas are rp-sma..
Well, I guess, rb751 internal antennas are enough if it wasn’t for rather odd config possibilities in wireless config (antenna a, b rx-a/tx-b) - what is that?
At the MUM Poland I saw a Chinese company, selling nice metal case for rb751 with rp-sma antenna - now thet was cute!
Anyway - after extensive testing it seems to me that internal antennas are enough for a small to medium size house and by placing you router smartly, you can get a good signal and some 20 mbits just about anywhere in the house. Do not consider wireless as a cable replacement, though.
I saw that as well, but seeing as you cant disable chain 0 on the internal, i wasnt sure if the metal case would really screw up performance. Minimum order is 40pcs so waiting for a trial case to turn up. Will report how it goes.
