Good Day All,
I ordered a RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM yesterday but then cancelled the order due to potential issues with the antenna situation.
I am looking to use a RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM as a home based access point in conjunction with my RB450G which I have for my core router. Right now I have an EnGenius ECB600 but am experiencing issues with signal and speed. I am trying to cover a 3000sqft house.
I understand the RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM is 5GHz only, and with this in mind am considering multiple units to place around the house, but would like to try with 1 unit and some powerful antennas first.
I spoke with a reseller on the phone which let me know that using regular antennas which can screw on the device would work but not properly, and that I needed a dual or triple chain antenna, triple in this case, for it to work properly.
I just found a thread of another user on this forum who used another model in this series with antennas and has reported this working great.
So my question is, can I use regular antennas to screw on to the device and use the RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM as a good home based access point for an indoor solution? Perhaps something like this from the following link?

Would using such antennas work well?
Thanks!
