wap ac vs omnitik ac?

[archerious]

Need a long range outdoor unit, which of these two has more range?

I plan to get a Netmetal ac in a few months, but for now I have narrowed it down to either a wap ac or omnitik ac.

The omnitik has more range due to its 7.5 dBi antenna gain, somewhat doubling the range (Antenna gain is reciproque/ is also valid for receive signal strength).
Transmit power will be reduced to stay in the legal limits, but that’s good to balance AP-client TXpower.
The radiation form of the Omnitik antenna is donut/thorus shaped (antenna theory based).
Omnitik 5 ac is limited to 5 GHz only, wAP ac has also 2.4GHz.

Thank you, ended up ordering a Netmetal Ac2 off eurodk. Nearly the same price as the Omnitik but should yield the best performance based on Tik’s site.
