When you use AR300M16-Ext as router/ repeater is there a difference in the use of the antenna's? I mean is one of the antenna's then dedicated WAN and the other as SSID LAN?
I want to use one ext-antenna outside an RV to better pickup signal and use the other inside for Wifi. If so, which antenna is used for WAN. The one on the same side of the WAN RJ45 connector? Or can I control that somewhere in the firmware.
No, both antenna do the same:
As most RV are made of something like fiberglas or plastic and have wood interior, the strength of the Antenna is good enough inside the RV, when the Shadow (and even the Mango without external antenna) is on the roof.
It could be an issue in a camper van with full metal roof. In my Sunlight Cliff 601 I placed the shadow near the roof window.
The direct hot sunlight (not the manufacturer) was more to worry about, than the signal...
Maybe I should have place a extension from the Shadow to the antenna, but I changed the RV to a bigger one, before it was a real issue.
