Hello,
my L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN needs to be mounted inside a rack and there's not really enough space for the WIFI-antennas.

I have some newbie questions regarding the device:

1. I understand it is OK to operate the device without the antennas attached if WIFI is switched off.
However, it is more safe to have a [viewtopic.php?p=1026183&hilit=do+not+po ... d#p1026194]"RP-SMA terminator" in place[/url], just for the case, the WIFI gets switched on by mistake or after a reset.
Is that correct?

2. Is it possible to use an extension cable to "somehow" mount the original antennas outside the rack?
(Does anybody have a suggestion on how they can be mount in a reasonable way?)
Or is there a technical objection against?

3. Is there a suggestion for an external antenna, if it is advisable to use any external antenna at all?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!

I have same question.

Also what kind of extenders there should be used? For MikroTik Router L009UiGS antennas extenders like " SMA Female Bulkhead Mount to SMA Male RG316 Antenna Extension Cable" does not fit.

There was a thread about this (on Ax3, but the essence is the same) a few days ago:

The connector on Mikrotiks is a RP-SMA male (and the antenna has the corresponding female) so you will need an extension cable, example:

Usually in similar situations one would however use an external base that has already a (short) length of cable, example:

Thank you for that hint. I installed terminators in the meanwhile.

And also thank you for that hint.

But the model shown here brings up my next question:
Isn't that base a bit too small?
Is it OK to have the (original) antennas that narrow together?

That is a good question, in theory, not, in practice, it has to be seen:

I think the only way is then to get two single bases *like* these:

and experiment with the distance between them.

Thank you for all your help!
