I already have a 900AP+, but this bit caught my eye:

"Becouse the DWL900 AP has only one antenna, the antenna selection is not
included, this is not a problem, becouse you can do it with the weca.htm
menu, here you can also swith on the savings mode."

I just tried http://192.168.0.50/weca.htm, and it works. I wonder what
other undocumented goodies are hiding in the 900AP+ firmware? :D

Here's a copy of the page:

I'm guessing the selected items are the defaults, rather than what the AP
actually has configured.

Anyway, I had a peek inside my 900AP+ and there appears to be an internal
antenna connected (just a short length of wire), so presumably the
hardware supports it. Could a second external antenna be connected to
this?

Does the AP transmit on both antennae simultaneously, or is it more a
switch back and forth depending on receive conditions? (Thinking about two
high gain antennae pointed in different directions, or one uni and one
high gain...)

Cheers.
