MA-ANT-25 with MR84

[Rajinder]

Dear All,

I have MR84 with MA-ANT 25 to install.

I have an area of 80 meters, what If I put both antennas in opposite direction (One is in North direction, other is in south direction) and mount the Access point in the middle of area (40m) in order to cover both sides with one access point and two antennas.

Interesting idea, but I feel like it would not work.  How would you connect the antennas?  One side of MR has 2x 5Ghz connectors and the other has 2x 2.4Ghz.  Would you cross them so each antenna connects to both?  I guess you could try, but I would not expect it to work..

Do not do that.  It creates hidden nodes.
