Just got a Hap Ac 3 with Lte 6 kit from Baltic networks for my inlaws, and when i took it out of the box it had a big sticker on it that said, "Do not power on without antenna connected!"
🤔 I knew the hap ac 3 has ports for external antennas, but I did not think they were necessary. They have to be ordered separately and the holes punched out in the case for them to be installed, and since 4G is fairly good and my Hap Ac 2 didn't need them for wifi I wasn't going to install any.
However, the mikrotik user manual says that turning on the Hap Ac 3 without antennas connected will damage the transmitters. Yet the picture for the Hap Ac 3 with the lte kit doesn't even show it with external antennas on it. Im confused, are the external antennas necessary or not? Is it talking about the transmitters for wifi, lte, or both? Is turning on my unit "barebones" going to damage it?
