Hi,
I've recently purchased a TP-Link TL-WR842ND router and was hoping to connect with a house we own which is some 600m away by using an external antenna (clear line of sight over some fields).
I think either a Yagi or parabolic antenna would work. However on reviewing the user manual for the router I notice that it states that a antenna with a gain of more than 5dBi is strictly prohibited. Where on the antenna FAQ of the website it states that the router can be used with the directional antenna all of the available ones have gains between 6dBi-30dBi. I've had a look at some other manuals and this statement isn't included.
Would this setup work?
Would it be legal (in the UK)?
Any reason why this statement is only included with this router?
Thanks
Rich
