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?
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!
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.
Understood and thank you for the prompt response. This is my first time ever posting an inquiry so I apologize if I missed the place to look where someone was last online. Regardless, the antenna on my router are in fact removable so I am a little confused about that part. Can you please elaborate? Thank you in advance!
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.
It's not even about coverage for me, my coverage is fine. I just have a server cabinet that will be in the wall and I know 'they' (whoever that is) say not to keep your router behind walls, in cabinets, near large metal objects, etc. Which all of the aforementioned apply to the location of said server cabinet (ha!). What I'm wanting to do is put the actual router in the cabinet, but mount the antenna outside the cabinet/wall somewhere so I maintain my existing coverage but hide the router.
