[MLB-WIRELESS] AP that you can connect two directionals to??

[Steven Haigh]

The main reason that this should not be some with a dual antenna access point, is that they default to using both antennas... I won't go into the whole spiel about how dual antennas combat multi-path reflections by receiving at differnt phase points, but only one antenna is ever used at the one time...

It may *seem* to work correctly, but don't expect any performance about it....

I can supply more details on dual antennas and multipaths if people want it....

  Hi,
  Can anyone tell me the make etc. of an AP that you can hook two directionals to?
  I have talked to some suppliers of AP's with dual antenna sockets and they tell it can't be done with theirs. They indicate that you would need two AP's back to back with a directional on each. I want a least power use, least hardware option to set up a "repeater". On omni on one AP may work but this link needs to be super reliable - highest speed. (distance from each end to common point ~ 1km)

  Cheers
  Jason
