I want something I can use as a dual band (simultaneous) outdoor acess point. Like the wAP AC but with weather proof antenna ports instead of built in (or at least bigger antennas like the OmniTik for covering a wider area).
Netmetal can be used this way. There is a slot for another wireless card

The problem with the NetMetal is that you cannot mount omni ducks in it without removing the cover. I’m looking for something sealed with a single antenna… Or sealed with built in antenna. Just in terns of simplicity and cost is much nicer than a NetMetal solution.

those connectors are sealed and completely safe to use in any weather. The cover is optional
But I still think a single sealed solution like the omni or a single antenna would be cleaner… Also it would look better..

I have a few places where I would like to use something like an omnitik (want dual band) or wAP AC (want better coverage) but would like something a bit more optimal. A Metal with sim dual band would be good too. I thought about the NetMetal, but to build a lot of sim dual band ones with antennas gets expensive very quickly.
Hence the reason I was thinking about a Metal/OmniTik with sim dual band … or a wAP AC with antenna connectors or a better antenna and power.
