Hi,
is there any small, home level RB, which supports attachment of the stronger antenna? I have a TP-Link here, which died, and would like to replace it with MT RB. But - the AP to connect to is on the roof above my flat, no cable here. TP-Link has 8dB antenna here. I can see RBs with only internal antennas? So - is there any supporting external antennas? Or do I need to build something around the bare bones RB and put it into a custom enclosure?
Thanks,
Petr
Check these:

http://routerboard.com/RB951Ui-2HnD - internal antenna but with good signal power
or any of these

If I understand you correctly, you need a CPE (wireless client) to connect to that AP on the roof.
Have a look at these devices (L3 license, no builtin antenna):

I need both - a CPE to connect to the AP placed one floor above my flat, as well as to provide local AP to other devices - ntb, smartphones, TV … I really miss SOHO Routerboards allowing to mount external antennas. Will go via some suggestions and see. Wonder how powerful the internal antenna is.
According to photos RB952Ui-5ac2nD http://www.cdr.pl/p4905,mikrotik-routerboard-hap-ac-lite-rb952ui-5ac2nd.html
this model has internal connectors for external antennas.
No, it does not. This has been asked and answered multiple times on this forum already. Those connector-looking things are factory test points, not antenna connectors.
OK … sorry
