Archer NX200 Only One External anntena
Hi!
I would like to know if there is a problem if I only connect one of the two external antennas instead of both. I don't know if the equipment detects that there is only one antenna connected and overrides the other antenna input, because if it doesn't, it could cause some problem.
Thank you very much.
Regards
@James1qaz I was interested by this question so I've just tried it out on mine. Here are my findings:
BOTH PLUGGED IN - Connected to N78 (5G) and B3 (4G) networks
BOTTOM ONLY - Only connected to B3 (4G) network
TOP ONLY - Connected to N78 (5G) and B3 (4G) networks
So it looks like you might be alright with a single connection but make sure you pluig it in the top connector as that appears to still work as normal with 5G (on mine at least!)
Below is a screenshot (with a meaningless speed test) that shows it was connected to both 5G and 4G networks with just the top antenna plugged in. Of course my antenna is obviously different to yours so I can't guarantee they're wired the same way/similar but I hope this helps!
