Note:
It is not recommended to use Outdoor Single-Stream Antennas on SOHO AP/Router for long-distance wireless transmission. The reasons are as follows:
- SOHO AP/Router has smaller transmit power and is not suitable for high-gain antennas.
- SOHO AP/Router is usually used for wireless coverage within 300 meters and has no Distance Settings feature. If you use SOHO AP/Router for long-distance transmission, ACK timeout cannot be calculated correctly, which will cause communication problem.
