WLAN router with detachable antennas

Question

Hello everyone,&nbsp;I am looking for a WLAN router to connect mixing consoles and other things at events.To get a long range, I would like to connect an external antenna (two pieces) via RP-SMA connectors.&nbsp;Since I already have the Nighthawk M1, I would like to use a Netgear product again if possible.Does Netgear offer anything here? Unfortunately, I haven't found anything suitable despite a lengthy search.&nbsp;Thank you and best regardsPhillip(automatic translation)

here's the problem. You add a bigger antenna that focus the connection. But it narrows where it focuses it. So if you have multiple area's to cover, it doesn't help. There's a much longer description here:&nbsp;

You might be better off switching to a mesh system versus trying to add bigger antennas
