Is it possible to replace one of the omni directional antenna with an RP-SMA cable from one of those 24dbi antenna and use this AP as a repeater?

The standard GUI didn't have any interface to control the mW for power that I can remember. You can connect any rp-sma but there's no way to adjust you power needs depending on dbi from the GUI.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

I would suggest a similar setup like the one I have.It's doing what you want.There is an option for the repeater to either use the incoming signal for WiFi or Ethernet.In my situation I went with Ethernet but you can set WiFi.See my review. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1ZH7JFVDQHJWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00HQ883QW

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

yes as long as the provider you use for your phone service is on the frequencies this repeater uses ....850mhz and 1900mhz ... We are using ours with verizon ..A higher gain outside antennae would be good though .

The router would need to have an external antenna with an SMA connection. The antenna will need to be point in direction of coverage.

No, but not repeat the answers below, I bought the ea-n66u instead to add to my rt-ac66u running in repeater mode, works great ...also the ac router works so well, I get the same speeds on my repeater mode as I do on the ac router. I am waiting for 3 -9db extra long antennas and see what kind of reception I get. I have 68 DS even get 24 to 35 Meg's on my ipad 3 using this setup...not bad at all.

Even if you use modified cables to get it connected, the device doesn't have enough power broadcast.I believe that the best option is to use a reapeater that has an SMA connector.I'm not sure about your application, but your solutions may deffer based on budget.Let me know if you have questions? adam.rce [at] gmail.com

Yes it can. Just remember your total max load should not exceed 12 amps per repeater,to be on the safe side; I wouldn't max it out, maybe 8 amps. I would connect a max of three 16' strips per repeater and a minimum of 18 Awg wire. a home run for each section or strip is not a bad Idea. If your wire runs are longer than 100' you might want to consult a licensed low voltage technician.

you could if you talk off a repeater tower with it.but just going radio to radio it is unlikely.

Yes, that is possible. From the manual: "5.1.2.2 Enable Universal Repeater Mode The router can act as Station and AP at the same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage."

This device is a just a signal booster so the antenna type shouldn't matter even thought the instructions show an omni-directional antenna. The unit comes with a very short RP-SMA female to female cable to connect to a wireless signal source. The output cable you will need to get to connect to the antenna also needs an RP-SMA female connector. Just remember the length of the cable decreases the power.

The antenna has a "reverse RP" connector that matches the removable antennas on most equipment such as routers, repeaters, amplifiers and the like. This device is passive, so it does not need any power supply. The only connection is the RF Coax connection. Adding a splitter may be possible, but you would have to work out things like correct impedance matching, as well as preventing the overload of one device on the splitter while it was receiving, while the other device on the splitter was transmitting. Adding a splitter should be done only by someone with expertise in handling RF signalling devices. On the other hand, using this antenna with just one device is very easy and almost foolproof.

Look at the bottom of the TP-Link. Open the small door. Gold colored connector. That is the male RP-SMA connector. Order from Amazon: TP-Link 0.5-Metre 2.4GHz/5GHz Pigtail Cable with N-type Male to RP-SMA Male connector (TL-ANT200PT) and TP-LINK TL-ANT2424B 2.4GHz 24dBi Directional Grid Parabolic Antenna, N Female connector, weather resistant. The connectors are obvious. You have to work out a mast for the antenna yourself. Works great but not magic. You can't make a connection through a mountain for example. Or really dense woods for that matter.

I see others have answered this - yes, you can use it as an access point or repeater. You can even set it up to bridge two WLANs.

Yes! Significantly I might add... The main issue is the interfacing to a 2.4GHz source... Most items don't have a connector to plug into... I believe the FCC has something to do with this! Solve that,,, and you can do Wifi perhaps at 1000 feet or so in one specific direction... So my main point is you must have a detachable antenna on the targeted device you wish to boost the dB's with... "Got it!" This Amt. use SMA Screw type-of miniature connectors... The other being snap-on... I will add that this style of SM_'s is the best of this family! So start looking for an matching adapter for all else... Yes! Significantly I might add...

If your existing cable modem/router uses an external antenna (antenna screwed on/protruding from the exterior of the unit) with an SMA connector you can then unscrew the existing antenna and connect the Amped antenna's SMA cable connector in it's place. Plug the AC power adapter for the Amped antenna into an outlet and your good to go.
