Darksideofthebyte Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So in the thread, we are unsure of which wan0 or wan1 manages the public facing AP traffic. I’ve made a personal tactical case out of an old laptop bag. The bag has 2x 1 foot antenna wires that lead to antenna threads out side of the laptop bag. Then the bag houses my LTE modem/router/pi/tetra. When I made the bag did 2, not all 4 antenna extensions. Cheers, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1550n4nc3 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I bought 4 Huacam HCM82 8dBi dual band antennas. The Tetra doesn't pick up a thing with them installed. No such problem with the stock antennas. Why would this be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such problem with the stock antennas. Why would this be? It picks up nothing at all? Or just weaker signal than factory antennas? There are a few common reasons antennas don't work as expected and most of the time it comes down to the wrong style of antenna being selected. Factors include: polarity gain directional style omni patch panel yagi etc, etc, etc impedance ( less likely when buying WiFi antennas but is possible) ETC, ETC, ETC Hope this helps with the basic idea.
