External wifi antenna
Hi everyone,
I need to externalize an antenna to get the connection inside the red box (about 1 and a half hectares).
I would like to put a smart doorbell + cam at the gate (230m) and some cams at the ends of the fence.
What do you recommend?
I already have 6 orbi ax4200

I recommend a point to point system. A standard mesh system won't reach 230m.
netgear used to have airbridge but its been out of stock for quite a while. I'd look on amazon for other versions

I need an external antenna, I don't need a mesh
Does netgear have anything similar?

External antenna's aren't going to help much because the broadcast power of 2.4ghz/5ghz has been set for years and routers/satellites have been maxing them out for years. And 230m is a long way for wifi to reach. Its why I'd recommend a point to point system and then stick one of the satellites at the end of it for that coverage.
there isn't a "stock" external antenna for any of the orbi's.
