R9000 Extension Antenna
Hi,
I am wondering about using and extension antenna on my X10 Router. I had a Nighthawk 7000 and it was easy, I unscrewed the stock antenna, and screwed in an amplified antenna to that socket. Is this an option for the X10?
Thak You!

As far as I know the antennas are part ofthe router's body and also the output amps for the wifi, they are not able to be replaced by the normal user.

Re: R9000 Extension Antenna
Did you experience any signal loss with the amplified antenna you used? Which antenna did you end up going with? I'm trying to do something very similar, but I don't want to go to all the trouble only to have signal loss/drop. Thank you in advance!

Re: R9000 Extension Antenna
As the one user already posted, the antennas are not removable or replaceable. So you can't change them out. The OP has not been online since they posted back in 2018.

Hmm. I guess maybe they had a version that the antennas are removable. I think if you really want better wifi coverage your best and easiest method would be to just install a WiFi Extender that would help with wifi coverage.

If you don't see any kind of screw or finger/thumb turning ring on the end of the antenna closest to the router case, then no, you can't remove those.
