Onus Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) I don't see any documentation on the db of the antennas that ship with the Tetra. I am guessing they are around 5 db? Wondering if people have upgraded the antennas on the Tetra and if so what antennas are you using. I have two 7db antenna lying around that i bought for my nano, but not 4, so if i were to try to boost my signal, i wouldn't know which of the 4 antennas to replace, since i only have 2 9bd antennas. I ssh-ed into the pineapple and noticed that only three wireless adapters are actually up: root@Pineapple:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. wlan0-1 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master Tx-Power=30 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master Tx-Power=30 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan1mon IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.462 GHz Tx-Power=30 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off br-lan no wireless extensions. Its great to see they are already at 30dBm but that was confusing to me since there are 4 antennas, and how do i know which antennas on the physical device are which..

b0N3z Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 the antenna for the nano will not work on the tetra without sma to rp-sma adapters. No body really has upgraded that has been on here because the antennas provided are freaking awesome. So if you wanted to upgrade you would have to upgrade both antennas on one side or both sides. I dont know which side is wlan1 or wlan0 but both antenna on a side need changed to upgrade because they are mimo 2:2 antenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two physical radios. wlan0 and wlan1. What you're seeing is wlan0, wlan0-1(virtual ap), and wlan1 in monitor mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
